“Thank you; you stand corrected. “
Where do I stand corrected? Where did I say I agreed with each, any or all of these definitions? I merely offered them up for you to smash. I tried to scan them for relevance but not for agreement.
“Did you know when you posted them, that you were regurgitating multiple versions of the two definitions I'd already debunked? Or did you honestly think these were different in some way?”
Neither thing was a consideration. You offered to smash and I tried to give you an opportunity. But I might offer rebuttal to your attempts at another time.
Your rebuttal would be greatly enhanced if you had a clear knowledge of what you were rebutting: specifically, that so far only two definitions have been put on the table--both by me, and none by tpaine--and you've posted multiple versions of those same two definitions.
So your rebuttal efforts can be streamlined by focusing on exactly two points. If you accept the contractarians idea of the origin of society, you face the uphill battle of proving that apes can make contracts. Second, if you accept that "members of society" are "implicitly" part of a contract, you must prove that they intentionally entered into an agreement.
