One
Whole
The term social contract implies more than one person snd not a masturbatory exercise
It’s not one man. Not by a long shot. In fact, it’s not even close.
Demand a government program for every problem that comes up.
Yeah, but what’s the difference. Why does “whole” matter?
Because the whole exists. You can reject it. You can Walden. It still exists
Is the inverse true? You don’t seem to have a problem treating an individual as a “whole”.
The individual also exists, despite rumors to the contrary.
Part of a whole. Yeah i get why Walden is appealing, it doesn’t work en masse.
I don’t what Walden is, are you referring to the pond?
Why doesn’t work?
Does treating the individual “en masse” work?
Yes the book. He didn’t make his tools.
It doesn’t. We try though. Real hard.
Did the government give them to him?
No … the key is for the parents to not bitch about it or blame others for their hardships. I was going to add ‘in front of the kids’, but decided to leave it off. If the parents are bitching and blaming to themselves, the kids will still pick up on it.

I am referencing it with regards to the social contract. The government is not necessarily part of it

WHAT!?! How else are you going to obligate me?
Those are things that can affect the development of an individual.
Sorry missed this post
Yeah, and a society.
If his position is unprovable, so is yours.
. I never said it was you know.
You scroll up. You’ll never see me make government a part of the social contract.
It is a construct of it though.
Okie dokie.
You mean village?
Now you’ve completely lost me. Are you under the impression that conservatives are somehow against voluntary charity?
