Ther did no decision you can make that couldn’t be correctly categorized as an effect of causes that occurred previously in your life

Okay let’s go through this then

A strong moral foundation is just a schema for decision making

At even causes one to build up such a foundation? Your parents, society, natural temperament aka outside causes

Conspiracy theorist

You could

But that would happen due to some shift in outside circumstance

One sees the error in their ways. But they see it for a reason. And they have to see it to change. Outside cause

Given every other cause and effect that has occurred throughout all time? Yes

Theoretically yes. But a computer couldn’t run all the experiments we can. It takes too much creativity to set up experiments and generate hypotheses

It takes some science to generate hypotheses

Creativity*

Greetings

Your right it does

Are these what weee supposed to do? Or what we’d actually do

Ditto

I definitely don’t like that.

Yes love it so much

Why?

Using a metric of well being, was thanos wrong?

From agreeing to not?

Or other way around

Yes.

But the other half would be vastly improved

Plus generations and generations after them

The dusted are vastly outnumbered in the calculation

Theoretically. In Thanos’s mind that is

It’s about what Thanos genuinely believes not the actual effects that determines his morality

So let’s just assume it would work the way he thinks it would. For sake of argument

What then?

Thats circular reasoning

But the problem u identify is one is testle with as well

I agree

The notion we can’t logically substantiate the claim that killing another human is immoral is one I’ve been dealing with

Not for god per se, maybe faith

Faith in an idea. That being is better than not being

Not that alone.

But without that, no other morality really matters

How do you figure

Well yes. If maximizing the amount of people alive is your only moral drive you get real tolaitstisn real quick

Today?

I love this idea though. You could make this a regular thing if u wanted @ThePangburn every week or two. Call it “news from the front” or something of that nature

I don’t know

I just know that I assume the being is better than not being

And assume that without being able to necessarily justify it

And seems to work out well enough

Nice

Uh oh

Wild

Bruh the fact no one has answered my new battlefield question is concerning.

I need to know😬

https://www.thewarofideas.org/battlefield/the-war-of-ideas/can-the-claim-being-is-better-than-not-being-be-logically-and-scientifically-proven

So go take a stab at in the battlefield if ya don’t mind

But suffering also doesn’t exist without being.

Okay but that’s slightly problematic

Even if I were to agree with you wouldn’t that be validating suicide as sometimes being a way to maximize wel being?

I think Michaela had a post abt that in that battlefield as well

Not according to her

Yes but only in cases of sickness

But suicide out of despair only fits your logic with an abandonment of hope for the future

I’d agree in terms of ending ones life early isn’t he face if a painful and terminal diagnosis

But that’s about it

I know. I’m just seeing what you thing

Sad

Sorry gtg

Why do you think that God would take such a special interest in you?

Topic?

Exciting

Created my first article in the Battlefield last night

https://www.thewarofideas.org/battlefield/the-war-of-ideas/the-case-for-conception

LMK what you think!

Can’t jump on rn for some reason

See y’all on the battlefield!

Obviously

But that’s only looking at gun death rates. The way some Canadian laws are going need a gun for other reasons.

Gold

I’m coming for ur throne @m.miller

Whats the difference?

Maybe

Sound alike a nice guy

@m.miller no you don’t get to do that. Engage with ideas

Then present that now. Here.

Anyone can say anything I’d imagine

That’s a lot of power

Go abuse it
