#personalidentity — Public Fediverse posts

In this second of two essays, I discuss the immorality of property, even deeper than the first post yesterday.

Not clear on the definition of Fascism?
Benito Mussolini 1932
https://ia601206.us.archive.org/20/items/mussolini-archive/The%20Doctrine%20of%20Fascism%20Benito%20Mussolini.pdf
Some choice quotes:

#TeaParty #MAGA
"Fascism was not the nursling of a doctrine previously drafted at a desk; it was born of the need of action, and was action; it was not a party but, in the first two years, an anti-party and a movement.”

#Democracy #Freedom #Autocracy
“[Fascism] is opposed to classical liberalism which arose as a reaction to absolutism and exhausted its historical function when the State became the expression of the conscience and will of the people. Liberalism denied the State in the name of the individual; Fascism reasserts the rights of the State”

#PersonalIdentity
"Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State..”

#WorkersRights #Corporate #Billionnaires
"Fascism is likewise opposed to trade unionism as a class weapon. But when brought within the orbit of the State, Fascism recognizes the real needs which gave rise to socialism and trade unionism, giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which divergent interests are coordinated and harmonized in the unity of the State.

#SelfExpression #Trans #LGBTQ
"if liberty is to he the attribute of living men and not of abstract dummies invented by individualistic liberalism…”

#totalitarianism
"Fascism, is totalitarian, and the Fascist State - a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values - interprets, develops, and potentates the whole life of a people”

#austerity
"life, as conceived of by the Fascist, is serious, austere, and religious; The Fascist disdains an “easy " life.”

#environment #climatechange #peace #war
"[Fascism] does not believe in the possibility of "happiness" on earth … it therefore rejects the theological notion that at some future time the human family will secure a final settlement of all its difficulties.”

My proposal for an open workshop to work on "Individuals as objectives of empowerment; communities as point of implementation? Examples and collective exploration" was accepted in the MyData Conference!

If you are interested in #privacy, #PersonalDataSovereignty, and/or #PersonalIdentity please come and we will collaborate with other people passionate about these issues imagining better futures.

We'll work based on some real world examples (like the #Fediverse). ;)

Do #Religious People Fear #Atheists

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMm0LI6V-KU

It’s not always about #anger or #rejection — sometimes, it’s about what #disbelief represents. In this video, we explore the deeper #psychological, #cultural, and #emotional roots of that #fear. From inherited narratives to #socialpressure, from #moral assumptions to #personalidentity, we unpack why living without #religion can be seen as a threat — even when it’s lived peacefully.

I am pleased to share that the James Howard & Family tartan has been officially registered with the Scottish Register of Tartans (#14834). Drawn from the colors of my coat of arms, it offers a modern expression of heraldic tradition in cloth. #Heraldry #Tartan #ScottishRegister #PersonalIdentity #Design

The "One, but not the same" results that we detected in English speakers (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11098-021-01739-5) replicated 6 times in Lithuanian speakers (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2023.105545).

When people read about morally altered people being "different, they [thought] the person [wa]s qualitatively transformed, but numerically intact."

Teresa McCormack closed the #SPP2023 #preconference on #memory with “The value of remembering and anticipating experiences: a developmental perspective”

It was—as Teresa put it—dangerously close to an #xPhi talk. It adapted a famous thought experiment (from Derek Parfit?) to test kids’ and adults’ intuitions about how much we care about past, present, or future versions of us.

@jandockx

I'm not saying that the concept of #personhood is not valid or useful to #moral #decision-making.

I am also aware that this can be emotionally triggering, much the same as discussions of #PersonalIdentity or #Consciousness or #qualia, etc.

But I am saying that 'personhood' has served as a simplified placeholder for a more general and abstract way of looking at moral decision-making—a better view that avoids the bumps and discontinuities at the limits of the 'personhood' view, and provides extensibility to allow for moral (right-in-principle) decision-making applied to non-person objects such as our environment, animals of various types and degrees of sentience, actions against 'persons' but with no measurable consequences, and moral consideration of potential artificial agents to the extent that they act within a shared context of #meaningmaking
