  • The argument makes less sense outside of it’s context. Moore was responding to the skeptical position that we’re all in a simulation. Moore argues that this skeptical argument undermines itself: all of the language, terms and concepts which form the simulation argument are based on the sensory experience that the argument would effectively dismiss. Furthermore, any argument that we’re in a simulation is epistemologically on a par with the argument that we’re not. Therefore we should have less confidence in the skeptical argument than the common sense conclusion that we have hands.

    Reminds me of the G.E. Moore’s epistemological argument against universal skepticism:

    • Here is one hand,
    • And here is another.
    • There are at least two external objects in the world.
    • Therefore, an external world exists.

    Philosophy sometimes goes so far that an appeal to common sense is a breath of fresh air.
























  • I personally think the sex-workers (both trans and cis) are often sexy as hell. Hence the title.

    Trans culture is more accepted in Thailand which is why their red-light district is known to have more trans people. The meme is about the awareness of this fact from western tourists visiting the area. The meme implies he has a preference but it doesn’t say in which direction. Not everything that mentions queer culture is mean-spirited Lileath.
