ORIGINAL: MadRabbit I will acknowledge that, but its not what I am debating. Alright, then so we agree she's my responsibility despite her mistakes. quote:
ORIGINAL: MadRabbit quote:
I can apprieciate you're trying to argue this point, but you're doing so from a limited thought base. You've only been presented with the idea last night.. I can see you haven't throught through all the solutions, but this does mean they don't exist. Continue presenting problems. I'll answer them. Once again you are being arrogantly presumptious. I've been thinking about TPE vs absolute authority for quite awhile. I said "this point", referring to the point you were arguing. It's a direct reference to the TPE vs. absolute authority you're argueing. This isn't arrogantly prsumptious.. it's.. accurate. :P quote:
ORIGINAL: MadRabbit The problem is your viewing this like an enginner. Sure, there is a solution to every problem. Sure, there is a WAY for you to make a human being into a tool that operates 24/7 purely based on your will. Just like there is a way for me to solve every single little problem in my kitchen. But, here, you're assuming I want to solve every little problem in my own kitchen. Either you're drawing a bad analogy or you're misunderstanding me. quote:
ORIGINAL: MadRabbit But I dont even try to solve every single little problem in my kitchen, because I dont have the time, energy, and resources to solve every single little problem in my kitchen on my own. Nor do I. One of the primer ascepcts of a human tool is that it can learn. I'm still responsible for her learning, as she's finding it in places I've provided and in manners under my direction, but that doesn't mean I'm making the soundwaves that bounce to her ears and teach her concepts. quote:
ORIGINAL: MadRabbit Just like I dont have the time to ensure that a slave isnt acting on her own will 24/7. Why? Because I have a job and need time for myself. The idea that you can provide every single solution to every single problem that keeps your slave operating outside of your will IS not plausible and unrealistic. At some point, human beings are going to have to operate outside your will and make decisions that they are accounable for. Pft, I'm a Chemical Engineer/Physics double major with a job on the side. Trust me, I get busy. I'm finding no end to the joy in the novelty that I have time to use forums this weekend. I have no obligation to provide direct answers. I provide answers- or don't- as I see fit, to include manner and rate. If she messes up- she fails me- then I live with it. If she bakes a bad dinner, then my dinner isn't great, or I find a new one. If she damages something, I'll just have to replace it or live with in damaged. It's quite possible. Seriously, I like you, but you're being so rude in suggesting it's not. How would you like it if I said your girl wasn't really your slave? Your relationship with her isn't real? I hope you come to understand how rude it is. The fact I can defend it doesn't detract from the intent. quote:
ORIGINAL: MadRabbit quote:
ORIGINAL: CuriousLord Okay, so say you told her to microwave tin foil for three minutes at normal power. In an actual microwave as we know them today. You said it's not her fault. So is it your fault? Then, are you at fault for her action? Thats not the point. The point is I didnt provide the direction to microwave it for 3 minutes which is what I am argueing. Its not the theory that is flawed, but the fact that theory rarely ever matches up to reality. The point is you cant provide ample direction to negate someone else using their own will. Her will is a function and interpretation of my own. Her assumptions are based on thought processes she either had when I collared her or that I gave her. I am therefore responsible for them and their consquences. quote:
ORIGINAL: MadRabbit quote:
She has a mind. Her mind is to serve me in the manner I set forward. She does the best she can. I teach her. She learns. She grows. She is my responsibility. I feel like you associate responsibility arbritarily to individual human beings. This is a typical assumption made to assign concepts such as fault- one made out of ease and convinence, not accuracy. It can not be applied to this case as this case deviates from the vanilla world in which such a concept is designed to work. No...I am just realizing that I am not responsible for mistakes created by her using that mind and will independentally of my own. In your case- don't confuse it with mine. I accept responsibility for the actions of my slave and her thoughts, as I dictitate them. If you don't, that's fine, but it's truly frustrating to see the false parallels coming up as assumptions in your interpretation. quote:
ORIGINAL: MadRabbit quote:
ORIGINAL: CuriousLord Plausible? It's reality. I hope you can see this is a paper reflecting a reality, not a paper on a possible reality. Above, you said it can't happen. It has. I would propose that you are at a loss for understanding how it has happened. I am willing to explain. Still, I hope you can see how it sounds silly to me that you're telling me my life is impossible. I mean, to me, how much more obvious can the possiblity be? Just like I hope you understand how silly it is for you to be claiming to living a reality where your slave is in fact a tool that doesnt operate outside the scope of your will...because that, in all everyday common sense, is impossible. It is my will that she lives as she does. This is, therefore, living by my will, by definition. If you need to, think about it. I know you're not used to it, but it's very logically sound. quote:
ORIGINAL: MadRabbit It would be like me telling you I lived a life where all I did everyday was count grains of sand on the beach. You would know thats not true because at some point I would have to stop counting grains of sands to eat/sleep/piss/shit. You've made the assumption that I'm saying I must micromanage her. In my orginial definition, I said: his guidelines and under his orders. (In italics, there, too!) Guidelines can be vague. I do not have to micromanage to give her guidelines. You might come to argue, "Then how can you be responsible for decisions she makes under vague guidelines?" I would point out you tell a computer to open a file, not all the millions of subcommands. It's still an order. You are to understand the strengths and weaknesses, and accept the flaws, in that process if you designed the system and failed to provide a more specific instruction.
