Reply to comment by bishop0408 in ‘Immoral’ to advise family and friends on life choices by TuvixWasMurderedR1P

This is only an article about his academic article. My own inclination is to disagree as well, but I thought it was interesting for discussion. I'd like to read the original published one. I wonder how Dr. Akhlaghi defends this...

I was looking at his direct quotes specifically!

I agree that the terms "autonomous self-making" and "self-authorship" and "revelatory autonomy" are vague. Hopefully he provides a proper definition of the terms in his academic paper.

Though what I don't quite understand is how receiving advice actually interferes with this. After all, there's still a significant distinction between being told a thing and experiencing a thing.

I'm sure we've all had that experience in which our parents have offered us words of wisdom as children or teenagers, only for us to learn the exact same lesson "the hard way."

I don’t feel like it does interfere. The article sounds like what an academic in philosophy does when they have friends that have overstepped their boundaries by giving too much advice on Personal issues.

Not even too much advice, just advice they don't agree with.

Based on the limited article alone I don't believe there's a defensible position. The only one I can find personally is the concept of boundaries. In other words, intentionally blocking others from giving advice is a personal right, but beyond that I can't find any other argument to agree with their full stance.
