| evoneal ::: Favorites 2007-12-20 22:15:15 the root of the subjectivity of morality IS the fact that all we have is intuition to guide us when it comes to deciding what is 'negative'. they are evolved intuitions. if we evolved in diff circumstances our intuitions woudl be different, so it seems that objective morality is a misdescription. __________________________________________________ | |
| gabrielg01 ::: Favorites 2007-12-19 18:22:55 @2:56 in the video he says that individual suffering can be justified if it serves the greater good in the end. How about justifying eugenics then? With the goal of reducing or perhaps eliminating most genetic diseases...His sacrifice argument is flawed. __________________________________________________ | |
| SSanf ::: Favorites 2007-12-17 19:06:26 This sounds like you have made society your god and look to it to give your life meaning. The hours of your life devoted to productivity are the sacrifice you seem willing to lay at the feet of your god. There is no intrinsic reason that your life should have meaning beyond what you get out of it yourself. You talk as if life being pointless is a bad thing. Excepting that it is a blow to the ego, why does it matter? __________________________________________________ | |
| SSanf ::: Favorites 2007-12-17 19:05:31 Why would I be obligated? I feel no such obligation. My highest obligation is to myself. Others are not in essence myself. I am a unique stand alone individual. If I choose to cooperate with society, it is because I gain from such cooperation. __________________________________________________ | |
| tobyw87 ::: Favorites 2007-12-17 04:15:12 After watching this video I would believe you agree with TAA. You are confusing objective reality with objective morality pretty bad.... might want to look at that. __________________________________________________ | |
| tobyw87 ::: Favorites 2007-12-17 04:15:01 Immendham... you really don't know properly what you are talking about in this video... the ENTIRE video you define morality as a social construct... a construct that signifies "productivity" within a particular society. Therefore SUBJECTIVE depending on the society. In your video with TAA you stated that there WAS such a thing as objective morality. __________________________________________________ | |
| ripster100 ::: Favorites 2007-12-17 01:09:50 Face it man everyone is brainwashed in our society we are all retarded because we choose to be. we are goal oriented like rats in a maze. or hamsters that jump in a cage jumping from the plastic tube to the ferris wheel. we have regressed as a race noone is willing to face the truth, we will eventually destroy ourselves, like an ant that sprouts wings and flys into the sun __________________________________________________ | |
| iconoclastic23 ::: Favorites 2007-12-13 10:19:50 "I am simply saying that it's not a good idea to give advice while you feel miserable and it's not a good idea to take advice from people who are miserable." This is a quintessential example of an argumentum ad hominem. You are addressing the person making the argument rather than addressing the argument. I recommend addressing the substance of what inmendham is trying to say if you'd like to make an actual salient point. __________________________________________________ | |
| docmoriarti ::: Favorites 2007-12-13 09:34:34 I agree that he doesn't make a comment about his lack of joy. It's his mood, the tone of his voice and his general outlook on life that betray it. I am simply saying that it's not a good idea to give advice while you feel miserable and it's not a good idea to take advice from people who are miserable. __________________________________________________ | |
| iconoclastic23 ::: Favorites 2007-12-13 09:25:40 He's exactly right, we value certain things because they fill a need. We are creatures of cravings and need built into us through our evolution. We consume things to fill needs. Consumption comes at a cost. He's not making any comment on what, if any, joy he takes out of life. He's just pointing out the nature of the system. It seems your protestations are based on your dislike for the system he's describing, but that's reality for ya. Your points are moot. __________________________________________________ | |
| docmoriarti ::: Favorites 2007-12-12 21:07:25 He names everything that people value in life as a vice. That's a hate of life. He views life as waiting for death. That's a statement of personal misery. Sacrifice is not virtue. It is giving good in exchange for bad thereby decreasing the quality of life. All you owe human being is fairness. The rest you can only give out of love. Love does not come out of duty. So it is wrong to say that anyone has an obligation sacrifice. __________________________________________________ | |
| iconoclastic23 ::: Favorites 2007-12-12 19:28:25 The video is about our obligation to make sacrifices for our fellow human being, how in the world do you equate that with "hate"? __________________________________________________ | |
| docmoriarti ::: Favorites 2007-12-11 21:35:43 Your hate is practically oozing out. I don't know why you are so angry, but it would seem that frustration might have something to do with it. Re-examine your life goals, man. Perhaps it is because you never figured out what you want that you think so little of the joy of life itself. __________________________________________________ | |
| Sublimey123 ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 00:39:29 Who would want to be a slut in a past life? (besides your mom) __________________________________________________ | |
| Sublimey123 ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 00:34:54 Montell Williams was a painter, that didn't sell any paintings, in a past life. Sylvia Brown said so it MUST be true. I think I was a deranged serial killer in a past life, yet I was lovable in a way, a kind deranged psychopath:) That only hurt humans, but loved fluffy little animals __________________________________________________ | |
