It is always to your benefit to be courageous for the GOOD. It is always to your benefit to allow for the possibility of any death for the GOOD. The d...
As yes well, I feel apologies are in order. Sorry if I offended. We are, all of us, prone to orderly ruts, even the chaos-apologists. For me, the inte...
This 'mitigation of the ways' (to reflect out) is important. An unambiguous language, seemingly impossible, would help. But really the idea this cente...
How can one make sense of this? If one DOES contradict the other, then the alternative account has indeed been made. If there is no contradiction offe...
{Continued} And these realizations are meaningless because no such world exists. This one is alive in every way. All parts of it start with and cannot...
This supposed conflation IS NOT a conflation at all. It is trivial to understand this IF the base model of reality is correct. That is there is ... pa...
There are so many launching points in this OP that it's hard to choose a start. But, time is a wasting, so, ... All weakness, finally, is immoral. Tha...
Not 'knowing' (a bad choice of words because we DO NOT 'know' things, but instead we are aware in varying degrees of things) does not have a direct re...
Both randomness and determinism are fine as considered. But most of these discussions miss their interaction and the third force, and it IS a force on...
"His defence fails if consequentialism is false, so to prove that abortion is permissible he must prove that its moral permissibility is determined by...
Aiming at Utopia ... Regardless, the chaos side is rather pointless in isolation, and I suppose that would be rather obvious, although I would love to...
I agree heartily. The 'moral' police of Iran and China are horridly immoral. Again, I think I agree with you. No forced pregnancies. But, paying it fo...
I love the latter part of your idea. But, no, the first part is not wise (to me). No one is separate. We are all one. The so-called 'unity principle',...
I understand the sentiment. But I do disagree. Your take on it is quite order-centric. Wisdom is not order-centric. Wisdom is balanced. So, going back...
I tend to agree because humans have gotten tech than empowers their choice WELL BEYOND their wisdom. That means chaos will ensue for the near future a...
How did you two get all sexist in this disucssion? Let me try to state the state of things and see if that helps. Gender is on a scale and the leftist...
Youre failure to recognize the evidence all around you, and my valid arguments does not change their validity. You are saying nothing that argues the ...
I disagree. My disagreement is based on what I am referring to as order, which may or may not have a relationship with your reference (I believe) to d...
Every single aspect of life involves only one thing really, free will. This free will is the infinitely precarious order/chaos balance. If the univers...
Well, this is a classically interesting thread (to me). I say classical and yet we are discussing drug use which might seem to some a more modern phen...
There are several points to be made JUST here. The main one is that 'everything happens for a reason' is both true and NOT RELEVANT to this issue. 'Re...
In 10 days this thread has produced 4 pages of back-and-forth discussion. So, there is action, reaction, interaction. If some read the thread and do n...
Well, ... I thought I already gave YOU the rundown. But in this case, objective morality is argued as causal to all concepts of balance. That is to sa...
So, then, human law as a written/customatic version of natural law. What a poor substitute. I understand that some people claim to lack a moral sense,...
Um, what the heck is 'historical law'? I have no idea. I am guessing based on your context that you really mean something like 'Pragmatic efficiency'....
So, yes and no. In your case, the way you ask this question, it's mostly no. My own theories about reality include a required three-way approach to wi...
So, I am within reason, hesitant to post here as you seem to be a more dyed-in-the-wool academic or academic adjacent type of intellectual. But everyo...
I'll start with Chapter 1 and see if the comments are well received. OK, so right off the bat, the brain DOES NOT create thought. It supports the thou...
Wow! So that is a very improperly loaded question there. So, you equate 'no free will' with 'genuine moral responsibility'? I find that deeply immoral...
When you simply say the word 'equality' you leave the audience with no idea what you mean. We can all read into what you mean, but why do that? You SH...
I agree. But in case you are asking, let's say for an example, life and reality are aligned and balanced properly amid morality by a radical polarizat...
But it is no mirage. The same difficulty arises in math with limits and with the repeating value of constructs like Pi. These are NOT mirages. They ar...
So this is ad hominem. I clearly state that I do not know things in many posts, so you're accusation is not only ad hominem, but also just wrong. Furt...
I am taking the word 'undecidable' to mean what it should mean, and does in some ways, even colloquially. That is that which cannot be decided upon. W...
The way you express this is jumbled. I DO NOT state ever that things are 'undecidable'. That is your word and very wrong. Everything is decidable, jus...
This is a very cool post. Thank you for posting it! By the way, your shape changes every day, in many ways, and time removed as a factor means even ev...
Well, yes. VERY indirectly we are indeed responsible for everything, each of us, as in we are all each other really, when the objective truth is uncov...
So, yes, you are saying that, as I define it. That means anything in the same pattern as 'but saying know or knowing is useful and understood by most'...
Yes indeed. And I understand why you think/believe that is a relevant response to my statement. My choices are informed equally by anger and desire; r...
I will first say that I am attempting to 'adjust' my approach here. Even though there is one right objective way to proceed, some may not be ready for...
Hilarious and flippant, but no. Morality is an objective scenario. Perfection as an extant thing in the universe is the source of the emotion we refer...
There is no state of being that is inherently bad or inherently good. Morality is only a resonance with choices made in the now. Choices are the only ...
Vive la difference! Like you, I have to 'feel' the motivation, the welling up of the answer, to vomit it forth upon those expecting or otherwise. By t...
The fact that you and other 'readers' cannot connect connected ideas is not the fault of the poster, in any case. That goes as well from me to them an...
To me and so many others, the word conclusion smacks of certainty too much. A function or use of something is ongoing. That is not to say the belief i...
Not at all. As I have already mentioned many times in this thread, stating things with confidence as a belief IS NOT stating that one has objective kn...
It is the nature of truth and ever increasing proximity to it, that resonance, or drama/poetry will necessarily occur. You have the final bit in sync....
This is incorrect as a disclaimer. Even by your ensuing description you ARE talking about moral goodness. The word moral effectively means, good. If y...
I do not eschew fear. Far from it. I encourage fear. It is awareness, preparedness, and joy; all three. But the point you miss is that they must be in...
