I just like him for his explanation of the state of nature, and his account of WHY people take part in a civil society. Essentially his explanation of the social contract.

I was talking to a friend yesterday and while he's very skeptical of religion, he still believes in ghosts and hell.

He says hell is just being here after you've died and being unable to move on.

I'm curious about the idea of an afterlife myself, though I'm aware the worst-case scenario is you just stop existing like before you were born.

According to the dating of fossils that have been found, humans like us have been around for 300000 years. How can any religion believe their god was silent for almost 300000 years before revealing himself in some form to any humans?

Even if he maybe revealed himself to earlier humans, why isn't there any evidence at all in religious writings that were supposedly inspired by a deity?

It never occurred to you that dating methods are erroneous? That there is no "standard" to check to see if your 300,000 year old dating method is accurate?

That never occurred to you?

It never occurred to you that if humans were around for 300,000 years, that there would be an infinite number of human beings at any positive growth number, and zero at any negative growth number?

None of these things occurred to you?

Whataboutism.jpg
46KB, 1024x512px
Can someone explain to me why Whataboutism is not sound? Why is it treated like a logical fallacy?

Situation 1:
>A is mad about a humanitarian crisis happening in X location.
>B: "Well, what about the humanitarian crisis happening close to home in Y?"
>A: "That's different."
>B has effectively demonstrated A's bias and attempt to direct outrage for political ends.

Situation 2:
>A is mad about a humanitarian crisis happening in X location.
>B: "Well, what about the humanitarian crisis happening close to home in Y?"
>A: "That's also inexcusable."
>B has verified that A is genuinely interested in human welfare, and is not making accusations solely for political ends.

It doesn't seem as though Whataboutism is making excuses or trying to redirect attention elsewhere. Instead, it is an attempt to uncover the motives behind the accusation, and if answered incorrectly, ruins the opponent's argument in one blow by striking at the ethos (they're not qualified to judge what is or is not a humanitarian crisis), pathos (they're insensitive to the plights of certain disadvantaged groups), AND logos (their criteria for diagnosing a humanitarian crisis is inconsistent or inaccurate).

To call this a logical fallacy or even a shady tactic seems like the whining of those who fail this test and have their outrage correctly identified as inconsistent and politically motivated. It is only natural to test your opponent with counterexamples and see if their logic holds true.

It isn't shadey, it's just pointless and circular.

Northern Ireland provides the perfect example.

>Man that thing loyalists are doing is fucking shitty
>But what about the IRA?

It's either

>How is that relevant?
or
>They are also fags

Neither continues the debate or accomplishes anything other than likely starting an argument about whether or not either party is biased.

Whataboutery isn't a "logical fallacy" it's just retarded and 99% of the people who say "but what about" in a historical debate are usually retards with absolutely no clue what they're talking about.

Though OP's example was well thought out and logically sound, these two things almost never occur in an arguement on the internet.

Wolof is Niger-Congo, whereas Egyptian is Afro-Asiatic, so they're not actually related. My guess is these are "false friends", although some could have plausibly drifted from one side of Africa to the other.

I honestly know next to nothing about Augusto Pinochet and his government.
Here's a few questions:
>What were his personal views on religion?
>What were his views on race/ethnicity?
> Did he particularly dislike a particular race/ethnic group/religion?
Thanks! I'm eager to hear your response!

He was a roman catholic but freedom of religion was respected.

Chile is a mongrel country and he himself was mixed.

Like all of the armed forces he probably disliked the argies, peruvians and bolivians. However he was insanely popular with the injuns.

Complementing >>3106432

Let's see. First of all Pinochet always wanted to look intellectual, but everyone knew he was not. I had the habit of collecting old books to look like a scholar, but it was only a staging. He even plagiarized a book called "Geopolitics" and many more, which can be found only in the libraries of the ultra conservative universities of my country (For example, The University of the Andes, affiliated with Opus Dei)
His work never had an ideological backing, it was the general of the president's army that he vowed to protect. He is basically a glorified opportunist.

Now, do you want to know who the ideologue of the Chilean military government is? Not a single person, but an interdisciplinary team of experts who designed and implemented an economic and social model in a coherence-controlled environment. They also saw an opportunity and took it, with the difference that they did not betray anyone.

1. Jaime Guzmán. He wrote the (in)famous 1980 constitution.
Everyone considers it a work of art. Anti-democratic, rejected by Jaime Guzman's mentor, Alessandri Rodriguez, basically Guzman made the rules to change the rules and taking advantage of the future interests of the governors, is virtually indestructible, because those who can withdraw it do not want and those who want can not. In April of 1991 he was shot to death by an ultra reactionary wing of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR), consider it an RAF located close to the Arctic and with Cuban support. But it is also rumored that he was ordered murdered by "Mamo" Contreras, chief of intelligence of the military government, because Guzman tried to save leftists from detention camps, motivated by his extreme Catholicism.
