deontic / aretaic dating

I think it's time to put a stop to the myth that stereotype female fantasies of wanting to be taken care of and supported are any less disgusting than stereotype male fantasies of wanting to be fucked. 

Both result from tendencies necessary at this point in history, for the continuation of the species. Neither is intrinsically dysfunctional, until presented as an uninvited obligation.

So for example, in strongly deontic (duty oriented) often traditional, systems ... the behaviours are formalised as duties, and become statutes to be enforced. This often defines conservatism.

In contrast, strongly aretaic (virtue oriented) systems are more coherent with the notions of individual rights, and libertarianism.

Presentism and Originalism in Malaysia

Ah, this is a useful dichotomy. In governance and law there is presentism and orginalism

About Malaysian public policy, I am generally a presentist

Because Malaysian law is intrinsically tied up with theism, I have to also point out that I am a materialist ( compatiblist : in viewing all spiritual experience as a variety of material experience )

So in politics, broadly
- originalists view: presentists as shallow
- presentists view: originalists as delulu

Politics is the PRACTICAL consensus

Maybe you guys can do me a favour and drag Malaysian vernacular back to centre on this term. 

CT has been batted around by laypeople for decades and not linked to the actual formal study of logic, semantics, and rhetorical criticism as captured in academic journals of logic, law, philosophy, etc.

"" 1. Definisi CT tu kena tetap dulu. Sebab ia istilah tak rasmi.

 2. Secara am, CT itu nama tak rasmi bagi epistemologi iaitu naẓariyyat al-ma'rifah

Yg bawah bhasa arab itu saya tak tau la universiti tempatan ada fokus tak 

Yang makna sama dalam bhasa inggeris/yunani itu eistemology : theory of knowledge la, kira dasar STEM, ada discipline/department/journal yang berkaitan

 - logic / philosophy
- critical theory / art history & literary analysis
- media studies + peychology / rhetoric

 Nampak tak banyak benda ini kat mana2 uni tempatan? Kebanyakannya tersekat je""
