      Any fucking child intuitively understands Grice's maxims - that an utterance is judged not only by its literal truth value but by its relevance to the context in which it is utteredhttps://twitter.com/dr_i_rohl/status/1229901610861629440 …

      Meanwhile, here is an example of a human taking pride in his willingness to behave that way *on purpose*, and insinuating that if folks tell him not to do that, it's because they're just not clever & rational & objective enough to understand what he's doing. (3/3) pic.twitter.com/uUNKMmpkRt

      "I can deadlift 300 pounds" goes from friendly conversation to an obnoxious pickup line to a legally actionable threat depending on when exactly you say it and whom you say it to, even if it's just as true in each situation

          Anyone anytime says anything they have some kind of reason for saying it, some kind of agenda That's basic human social dynamics And no one's buying it when you attack them for being paranoid kneejerk "low decouplers" for asking "WHY are you so interested in eugenics"

          And when you answer "It's because I'm just a humble seeker of abstract truth wherever I can find it" then you're obviously lying to us or to yourself The "high decouplers" accuse their critics of trying to read minds but we're just reading words

          It’s also not the case that Dawkins said “eugenics is possible.” He said “eugenics works,” i.e., has some (economic? societal?) VALUE. So he did imply that “eugenics is good,” even while claiming that it was morally wrong. He made an axiological claim, not just a truth claim.

          Replying to @thisniss @arthur_affect

          “Decoupling” the economic value from the ethical value of eugenics as Dawkins did DOES NOT free you from charges of having made value-based claims. “Eugenics works” is not demonstrable as an empirically testable truth claim alone. It requires value judgment, period.
