i don't consider morals to exist
but they do.
morals define ethics which defines what we consider as good and evil.
they don't, morals is just a word used by people to define the line they consider fine, and bad
they are subjective, I agree.
but they do exist.
what you consider good and evil doesn't apply to everyone else
and they are important
I consider religion to be evil, in any form
but what **they** consider good and evil makes all the difference in the world
it does not, what societies consider good and evil changes over time
The problem is that Kant undermined the enlightenment, and the validity of reason, with the explicit purpose of justifying faith.
this paved the way for Christianity.
and then, later, Marx and Nietzsche.
yes, and thats what the left is doing today
yes
now you understand.
i always did
but its not just the left
the right considers altruism to be moral as well.
they consider capitalism as a necessary evil at best, and still consider selfishness as immoral.
The way i see it, modern society just replaced God with Socialism
yes
because they are equally valid
they are not
they're both lies told to people to control them
because there is no place for reason in society.
we ultimately have just given up ourselves to faith somewhere along the line.
reason gimps control
If a leader can't have people removed on a whim, but instead be faced with "but theres no reason for it" they don't have power
right
its just a power play
this is why progressives only value "power", they consider facts to only be what the person in power declares to be true
yes, but it is only sanctioned because the intellectual elite fundamentally believe in altruism
If i say the sky is blue, but a person in power says its green, to post-moderninsts the sky is green
today, they just take it on faith that we have no free will.
no
the sky is a social construct
i like your thinking Ping 😛
close
and no the intellectual elite don't believe in altruism, if they did they'd remove all forms of welfare, and only opt for a real "safety net" and pure capitalism
becausei n the long run that will eliminate leeching/weak people and only create a strong society that advances through competition
