Actor, teacher, philosopher in West Wales. Like truth and authenticity. Hate bigotry and Trumpism. Favourite biscuit is a Tunnock's Caramel Wafer. Smoke fags and drink beer. Dad, grandad and general dogsbody.
Do intentions not matter?

So a drug-addled billionaire stealing the USA to further his own ego trip towards world dominance should be treated the same as a poor homeless mother stealing a loaf of bread to feed her children? They both display overt stealing behaviour after all.

You seem to be committed to the dogma that only "things" are "real", - that non-physical equates to non-thing.

Empirical knowledge comes from the whole of experience, not just from immediate sense-data of the physical objects around us.

As William James said, science is not empirical enough.

Why assume all forms of existence are subject to "empirical slicing"? Phenomenological entities aren't. Nor are any other non physical entities.

Quine says the ontological problem can be asked thus: What exists?
And answered thus:
Everything.

You must let go of Positivism before examining Being.

Absolutely. He's toast as soon as he shows any disloyalty to President Musk.

It appears that ketamine gives you the same sense of "listen to me because I'm a genius" (whilst everyone else can see that you're a deranged fuckwit) that many other drugs do.

Elon Musk is proof that all the money in the world doesn't make you any less of a fucked-up Trumpmonkey.

If the BBC is a Tory propagandist, why have all Tory governments tried to close it down?

The billionaires know full well there's a Climate Emergency. They'd just rather hang onto their wealth than let humanity hang onto their planet.

How does he plan to do this? By giving Putin huge chunks of Ukraine and legitimising his claims to Crimea?

What a deal.

The Tory press has always preferred paedophile princes to black people.
