Dr. Ray vs. Ray the computer science professor

The Bottom Turtle Podcast

In this episode, Dr. Ray argues with a computer science professor named Ray about our recent claims of objective ethics. After posting the episode "Making a case for objective ethics" on YouTube, we had some "constructive" criticism in the comment section. We were accused of many untoward things and Dr. Ray debated those claims with said accuser. This episode is an AI recitation of that conversation. Dr. Ray then critiques a particular portion of the conversation in which Ray the computer science professor states "It is a terrible selfish thing to deny someone their identity". This phrase is discussed in terms of how language works and the fact that to claim an identity while not having the characteristics consistent with the shared understanding of that identity, is to ask for power to change the meaning of words and thus the means of communication. To demand power over language is not a simple ask, and to accuse someone of bad behavior for not doing so seems obviously unethical.
So if you're interested in a heated debate between a quantum physicist and a computer scientist over the objective meaning of words, ethics, and gender pronouns, then check out this weeks episode of The Bottom Turtle Podcast!
