My top sentence was a response too you. The second one to someone else. Yes agree with that. But i think we should also see how we too could be nazi g...

That is rubbish. If you throw out psychology you throw out all of social science. Weird thing too do. Also one of the great discoveries from psycholog...

Yes it’s definitely about jungs idea. No. It’s still evil but not at the same level. I don’t think people will say that the holocaust wasn’t evil. And...

someone asked me too define it, so i defined it. Yes i have gained alot of knowledge from him. I'm not taking credit for these ideas. I mean you do ge...

Yes, I agree. i have learned that the snake represents knowledge of the self (not saying knowledge is bad) But they then realized they where naked. Go...

I don't believe true evil is rare. It's just that we don't confess too it. Most people in nazi germany did terrible things. What makes us so different...

No no. It's evil at it's core because you want it for it's on reason. Too hurt another and you enjoy it. It's the person who is evil. You have to kind...

It does take you somewhere good. It's only by being able too be evil that you can be good
April 29, 2021 at 04:22
One way of saying something is evil is that you know what can hurt you. Because of this you know how to hurt others. And if you do that with the inten...

read about big five, fool.
April 29, 2021 at 03:24
you know nothing about personality psychology (Big five). Forget indentity politics. Individual is the salvation too the state (that is what the west ...

. Statistically most people who are open are liberals. This is a fact. You generally vote you personality. not because you have "great" ideas
April 29, 2021 at 03:12
I agree. there where no scientists at that time. Not everything about religion is supernatural. I think they explained more how we should act in the w...
April 29, 2021 at 02:14
It is. But we liv in it. I think we liv in a world of good and evil and that is the battle everyone faces. Most of the actions we take are a problem o...

We all play out the archetypes though. It’s like a representation on how humans act. Like we know that beavers build dams. We have used the archetypes...
April 29, 2021 at 02:01
I like those two ideas though. I think they are relevant today. I think it’s like freud. They don’t separate the good from the bad. And then dismiss m...
April 29, 2021 at 01:52
I don’t think you can answer the question. What you say and what you do are two different things. What you think about what you believe is one thing, ...

You shouldn’t be too quick too throw away jung. I think he had an iq of 200. The shadow aspect is dead on and is still relevant. The archetypes are gr...

You can believe what you want man :)

I like this. Equality of outcome is ridiculous. In the end some guy wrote that there has to be a tyrant to enforce these outcomes.
April 29, 2021 at 00:57
In the end philosophy is philosophy but people are also part of they’re culture.
April 29, 2021 at 00:52
Very good questions. There are psychological differences that makes us choose the left vs the right. People in trait openness are liberal and people l...
April 29, 2021 at 00:45
I believe that we don’t liv in a world of objects. Not saying the objective world isn’t true but you liv in a pyramid of values(abstract reality) With...

You should not lie (psychologically) it messes up your system and in the end you can’t tell if your lying or not. Then where will you go?
April 29, 2021 at 00:14
I think law is based on morality. Why is every man under the law? Even the leader is under the law. The leader is under the law so no man can be omnip...
April 29, 2021 at 00:10
And ofc something ought to be. You believe it yourself when you teach your children. You hold yourself accountable when you don’t liv up to your poten...
April 28, 2021 at 22:50
Fair enough im no philosopher but your claims seem more like assumptions. Reciprocal does not equal morality. I also took a stab on reading hume. He a...
April 28, 2021 at 22:44
We are reciprocal. But that does not mean we are moral. It could and i think it is more a selfish thing (not bad) It’s more a benefit than being good.
April 28, 2021 at 21:42
I have to re read that. I am not saying there is a god. Just that it’s reasonable to take whatever you can when you want. Why should we consider other...
April 28, 2021 at 21:29
Yes. But why should i care about them if i get away with it? Or even if i don’t and have alot of “power” why should i care?
April 28, 2021 at 20:53
Hehe. I’m blind to alot of things :) Something to add to this. You actually see what you aim at. And not the rest.
April 28, 2021 at 20:46
Alot makes sense here too me but human reason? What is so unreasonable for me to take and get everything i want whenever i want? Seems like the reason...
April 28, 2021 at 20:45
Im not a philosopher so this is more hard for me but ok. Moral sense by evolution might be wrong. Why is it right? We all have a conscience and if we ...
April 28, 2021 at 20:23
You do have a sense for kin, but you “break” out of it. The west got it right. The individual is the salvation. So group identity should be dropped. I...

I think life is hard for everyone.
April 28, 2021 at 19:17
I don’t know. Science deals with facts. It doesn’t tell us how to act. We all like batman. We go watch him at cinema and we know that he is a hero. He...

Im a stereotypical guy guy. silent, aggressive (not in a bad way) and seldom feel anxiety and am not the nurturing type. I kinda have that look, stern...
