    @americana

    You asked if a single mother was living in a $6k a month apartment. I said why is a single mom living in $6k a month living space. Her priorities are f***ed. You said it’s the only place available to her job.

    You’re making up scenarios. Is it possible? Sure.so let’s play along.
    Why is she a single mom?

    Why is she living in an expensive area?

    Why is she having kids with a bum ass nigga?

    If he was good and just happened to die, why wasn’t he prepared with life insurance?

    You can go on and on with scenarios and what ifs.

    And btw, if she isn’t making that much money she wouldn’t even get approved to live there .

    Again, this is where emotions is outweighing logic.

    Wow you can just smell the privilege

    I was hedging against it since the other guy critiqued the current system as being inhuman

    All systems will have an element of inhumanity, so how is that a critique? Better to say we can make it less inhuman. Its a hair worth splitting because there are many people who slip into a black and white worldview where current system = evil and their idealistic naive utopic fantasy system = perfect

    No, not all systems will have an element of inhumanity unless you simply thing everything that is an inconvenience to someone = inhumane.

    Like I said no one is talking about some fantasy system either. The alternative is simple, there's nothing utopic about it

    All language is inherently symbolic and cannot be used to discern objective metaphysical truths about the world as it is just a tool to communicate ideas not to extract said ideas from any sort of ontological base. You cannot use phenomenological symbols to denote something inherently non-symbolic such as a truth that exists noumenally. You might as well just skip the metaphysicals and talk politics with someone who’s trying to talk politics, not philosophy

    This is like saying you should talk politics without bringing science into it. Philosophy is absolutely integral to talking about politics, otherwise what is even being talked about?

    The distribution of resources, science is completely different from philosophy as it is a rigours system that is able to prove the existences of its truth, any attempt to make a system of science out of philosophy is doomed to fail

    And how do we figure out the best way to distribute resources?

    when the means of production have been seized, the bourgeoisie overthrown, and the powers of the state have been put into the hands of the proletariat.

    What if material conditions improve at the expense of other facets of human happiness and fulfillment?

    I agree. But after basic food and shelter needs are met, what if material conditions are improved at the expense of happiness and fulfillment?

    I don’t have the answers to those questions I just don’t think homelessness should be a problem and I don’t believe that our economy should be built on slave labour the way it is, and I would prefer to focus on those points in my lifetime while they are still issues

    Fair enough, I just don’t think philosophy can be divorced from politics or economics. These things are all entangled

    I hope we see homelessness and slave labor eradicated soon. The world has improved tremendously very quickly in the last 100 years so I’m optimistic
