- reasonable = incapable of independent thought or judgement, cattle, part of the hive-mind. Weak in willpower and mind.

Moral = Set of rules of interaction which further good..
Ethics = Collection of all morals
Sympathy = not an emotion, but a sense of identification and support for someones position. (common usage of sympathy is certainly not limited to pity)
Religion: one of these words which content slips any definition
Clearly you're an idiot and not a native speaker of English or even that conceptually degraded language American.
Your usage of "sympathy" is commiseration. It's clearly marked.
Your utterly fucking useless "definition" of ethics is beyond absurdity. And factually, PROVABLY wrong.
There is no such thing as "professional morals". There IS such a thing as professional ethics. Conversely, there is no such thing as human ethics. And the retards who think there is such a thing as human ethics refer to human interactions towards animals.
Oh, and nothing is beyond definition you illiterate retard. Utterly meaningless words like "non-deterministic" are characterized by the fact they're content-less. Religion can be easily defined, I just have too much contempt for the phenomenon to spare the 5 seconds necessary to do so.
Finally, if you can't read or comprehend English, get off my blog.
It's was nice of you to comment even though I clearly am an idiot. My brief remark would be that from now on you should refrain from it. I'll be out of your soup, don't worry.
You're right, everything _can_ be defined. It's just that some concepts are difficult to define properly, seemingly impossible. For me that is an interesting property of language, that some words elude definitions while we still have no problem with the usage of them. It's intuitive and contextual.
Non-deterministic is content-less? Wouldn't that depend on how you define deterministic.
There are two ways to destroy a word.
1) Define it so it room all cases.
2) Define it so that no cases fit i.e content-less.
Feel free to relieve yourself from commenting if this is idiotic bs in your ears.
Non-determinism admits to 4 possible definitions, 3 of which imply that many-worlds is the correct picture of the universe and that seen correctly, the universe is deterministic and "non-determinism" is just an expansive kind of determinism. It is quite clear that the advocates of non-determinism (Copenhagenites) do not support any of these. The 4th is 'no meaning at all': non-determinism has the same meaning as 'mu' and 'blub', that is 'none of the above'.
This isn't an accident since probability is never defined in math and physics ... anymore. Not since that evil anti-science asshole Niels Bohr decided to impose his crap religious theory "Copenhagen" because his entire generation was completely incapable of grasping quantum phenomena after observing them.
It took the entire physics community dying of old age twice over to purge the stupidity and discomfort over quantum phenomena, and the desperate attempts to redefine quanta as classical. And in that century, the physics community got up to a lot of crap like carefully avoiding defining 'probability' but pointing to math, while convincing their brethren in math that physics is the proper place to define 'probability' and that their own definition of probability (which supported many-worlds) is wrong and should not be taught. IOW, the religious nutters that supported Copenhagen did not die quietly but actually tried to impose their magical God-driven view of reality on others. As is predictable.
Unlike yourself and nearly everyone else, I do not find it difficult to formally and correctly define concepts that have eluded you peons for millenia. Concepts such as life, intelligence and fun, which you will never find a meaningful definition of anywhere, I have successfully defined and published here. The reason why is simple, I'm a natural philosopher AND I'm not cognitively deficient like everyone who's attracted by philosophy.
Going further, the "interesting" property of words in language you've observed is trivial. It's just the separation of synthesis (responsible for the creation of concepts) and analysis (responsible for thinking about concepts). In order to create definitions of concepts, you need to be able to synthesize sub-concepts while simultaneously thinking about whether the whole new structure has the same meaning as the overall concept. In other words, you need to be creative AND logical. Concepts of course are just scatterplots in data-space. Definitions are arrangements of scatterplots that are supposed to produce a bigger scatterplot.
Purely creative people can come up with new concepts but not think about them (ensuring the concepts they come up with are usually wrong), and purely logical people are incapable of coming up with concepts at all and must rely on others spoon-feeding them already existing concepts for them to have anything to think about.
Your new comment here was actually intelligent and deserved a polite response. It was also thoughtful instead of a regurgitation of wrong ideas.
I did not make that crack about students of philosophy with you in mind. But thinking about your two comments together now, I believe it's probable you are a student of philosophy. Philosophy is populated by people who enjoy ideas (intellectuals) but who can't quite create them correctly (non-analytic = not automatically logical) and so they resort to pretense and condescension as tools for argument instead of facts.
It's all political "who's got the most obscure book or biggest reputation" bullshit. Philosophers never speak plainly but only ever in historico-linguistic garbage. That's because when stripped of the pretense of erudition and collegiality, their facts are WRONG. For instance, John Rawls in his 500 page book at a critical point defined a "bare person" as a computer database, and not any kind of intelligence at all, let alone any kind of agency. And his entire book is circuitous.
(Note that I resort to raw hatred to shut down arguments, an entirely different tool for an entirely different goal. When actually debating, I use facts.)
