History of the debate between AskYourself and brimstoneSalad

Post by NonZeroSum »

_____________

Short Version

AY dismissing FriendEd with poor use of NTT, Brim highlighting the contradictions so could address the root implications of FriendEd's philosophy with him, since then AY portraying us as pushing absurdly complicated advocacy, when we're simply critiquing his arguments and philosophy.


_____________

Medium Version

AskYourself being called up on his alienating persona and argument style by other vegans.

Ask Yourself & Vegan Gains call out to debate the Skeptic community.

FriendEd labeling vegans objectivists to disregard one true morality, Ask Yourself denying this and trying to use namethetrait as formal logic.

PhiloVegan commenting namethetrait is coherent as formal logic only under consequential ethics and asking for some humility.

AskYourself insisting he’s an ontological subjectivist, namethetrait is perfect, building an echo chamber and binging on calling everyone a retard.

UnnaturalVegan offering her opinion that PhiloVegan is right, that namethetrait is fine as informal argument but not as formal logic, promising she’ll do a video if he can get a professor to agree with it.

This Philosophical Vegan Wiki produce an article on NTT which:
. . .discusses the three primary issues with NTT. Firstly, it discusses its logical invalidity, and how its invalidity can create problems. Secondly, it discusses problems with the justifications used by Ask Yourself to defend the premises of the first, "for animal moral value" argument validity of the argument. And thirdly, the article discusses various problems with the second, less widely discussed "for veganism from animal moral value" argument, which suggests a potentially dubious, unclear, and rigid commitment to non-exploitation.
Brim writes the article "Why #NameTheTrait is the Worst Argument for Veganism Around: Guest Post by Philosophical Vegan"

AskYourself has UnethicalVegan on his discord chat.
