free form thought exchange is exceedingly rare. Especially in a society that favors quotable truth over the real thing. That being said I'm glad to kn...

I appreciate the replies. Take note none of them have the answer to my question. Unless I am interpreting them wrong; both responses no matter how int...

My question was, how did the conceptualization of good and evil come to be; not the refinement of how it is. Sorry if that wasn't clear in the title i...

Also I was just giving a rudimentary example of how these beliefs could have came to be. Im not saying that is how they are now, obviously.

So you are saying law and order come before the knowledge of what is good and evil? I would saw law was refinded by the initial understanding of what ...

Why muddy the waters with theoretical concepts of good and evil; when we have a perfectly good example of how it affects us here and now.

I'm referring to the interpersonal form, since that is the only one experienced by humans.

The realization that all knowledge is inescapably human.

I don't think rights are given, I believe they are accepted individually, reinforced socially, and shaped environmentaly.

In my opinion people are as free (willed or otherwise), as the consequences they are "willing" to accept.

Good and evil are conceptual in nature, and are a means to describe someone's disposition, or a reasoning for ones actions. Basically they're just adj...

I think humanity as a whole is in a perpetual state of disillusionment. Self important mechanisms, ideologies, and systems that bring existence down t...

Superiority in what way exactly. Economically, physically, intellectually, interesting way of thinking. Would you elaborate please

I think Nietzsche was on the right path that ,quintessentially, there are only two types of people at the base of our consciously driven life. There a...

This might be a good read for your way of interpreting Darwinism. https://consciouslifenews.com/the-shocking-truth-about-charles-darwin/11102148/ Thou...

And I did not say sex drove procreation I said the instinct to survive is what drove the act of sex

I said that preference is NOT derived from imperical science. Yet you debate that human procreation is preferential.

Also preference is most definitely not a thing derived from imperical science and that is the stance you are debating for. So I'm confused as to why I...

Thank you for the insight. I personally I'm not religious. I just cant help but notice the similarities as to why these systems exis; being too give a...

I'm sorry im not trolling I just dont know how to do what you're asking. Freud's theory most definitely applies to this discussion. Nature verses nutu...

There is the Freudian theory for starters.

No one can state that procreation as it pertains to humans is definitively preferential or instinctual. How could that be proven without being able to...

How can anyone state that definitively if we have never experienced a life only lived through purity of one or the other?

Nice why of putting that, but how is putting a theory on how things are and how they came to be not the same attempt at bridging the same gap between ...

If the need to procreate is only driven by want why are we not the only species on the planet that procreates. Since it would require the ability to p...

Having a child at its core is procreation, and what is procreation if not a species DNA instinctual need to pass on a means in which to survive. Just ...

Reason is not faith based. That is why we still have religion and science, and why they want to be distinguished as mutually exclusive.

That is a good point. Ethics and morality still at their core are ideals ,and there for are up for free from discussion and debate. To furhter that po...

Technically speakingi the term infinite is immeasurable by definition. So your point is valid in the since that the expanse in which we can enhance or...

Interesting point but stating religious morality as the only alternative is a little reductive dont you think. Morality is much more complex than a tw...

I would argue the system created, followed, and implemented, is inherently divisive. Not the people operating with in it, presidents included.

Would say that morality is more akin to an ideal where as kindness is closer to a state of being or disposition?

Even if the misinterpretation of the word kind was present in my friends comment; how was it counterintuitive

That was my friend, sorry about that. They didn't realize the word was being used in the likeness of a group sence.

Being moral and being kind,in my opinion are mutually exclusive.

Ok, very good point. Answer me this; has law in the way that we experience as a society today been around since the dawn of man's known existence? If ...

I more or less think the same.

No thanks, I'm good.

I think maybe you should look up the definition of liberty.

I would say classifying will power as an energy thing dismisses it's complexity.

I agree with you to the extent that it detracts from the discussion. However the information derived from the hypothesis is what makes the theory, and...

I should have made it clear. My statement was made solely from my perspective opinion. I am no scholar it just seems to me that is the way it works. T...

I thought entropy was a term used in thermodynamics to dictate the lack of structure and order in a mechanical system. So Im curious how it pertains t...

Definitely immoral, laws are put into place to dictate a society, where as morals are there to dictate the individual. Most of the time an individual ...

I would argue that law is dictated by morality, and not the dicator there of.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't you call that a hypothesis?

Liberty is a means by which freedom can be achieved.
