Villa: Pushing back against licensing and the permission cultureVilla: Pushing back against licensing and the permission culturePosted Jan 30, 2013 23:15 UTC (Wed) by tjc (subscriber, #137)In reply to: Villa: Pushing back against licensing and the permission culture by jubal Parent article: Villa: Pushing back against licensing and the permission culture
You do realise that not everyone subscribes to the idea of natural law, and that Locke's is not the only one interpretation, right? There isn't anything that everyone subscribes to, except maybe trivial observations such as "the sky is blue." (And it's not, of course, but that discussion would probably be a pointless digression.) Any philosophical argument is based on assumption. This is one of the reasons I miss Hitch — he did a superb job (well, some of the time, anyway) of arguing positions that I thought were based on assumptions that were utter rubbish. So the question that anyone with more objectivity than hubris should ask themselves is, "what if my assumptions are wrong?"
