no dont think of it that way !
It is just asking simple questions trying to figure stuff out. Im certainly not a genius. But I like to talk about concepts really, so you dont have to know anything in particular about anything - just have opinions.
I'm not looking at it as playing "gotcha" on your part. More like knowing where your potential strengths lie. So I'll presume that you know more about any given points on metaphysics/philosophy than I do since I haven't studied any of that. Given what you and semicolon have been arguing it doesn't seem to be a discipline that is generally empirically testable.
Some parts of psychology are that way as well, but there are areas like conditioned response, redirected aggression, principles of mass punishment, advertising, thought control and propaganda that are proven workable. Taking over an airliner, for an example, by being loud, scary and unpredictable would be conceptually real easy. Women and children in the aisle seats, men at the windows, beat and/or kill the first loudmouth or person who's looks you don't like. Follow up by not allowing potty breaks and instilling extreme fear. Then gradually allow people to clean themselves and have bites of chocolate and use the hand not holding the whip to point the finger of blame at the government negotiators for not allowing you to let them go. After a bit of that most hostages will be in love with the hijackers and hate the government for not resolving things quicker. Do you use such principles when being a dom?
