yes, and thats what the left is doing today

2018-01-23 00:59:55 UTC  

yes

2018-01-23 01:00:01 UTC  

now you understand.

2018-01-23 01:00:05 UTC  

i always did

2018-01-23 01:00:07 UTC  

but its not just the left

2018-01-23 01:00:19 UTC  

the right considers altruism to be moral as well.

2018-01-23 01:00:24 UTC  

I agree with the end, just not your ideals of an "enligthenment"

2018-01-23 01:00:56 UTC  

they consider capitalism as a necessary evil at best, and still consider selfishness as immoral.

2018-01-23 01:01:00 UTC  

The way i see it, modern society just replaced God with Socialism

2018-01-23 01:01:07 UTC  

yes

2018-01-23 01:01:14 UTC  

because they are equally valid

2018-01-23 01:01:18 UTC  

they are not

2018-01-23 01:01:26 UTC  

they're both lies told to people to control them

2018-01-23 01:01:35 UTC  

because there is no place for reason in society.

2018-01-23 01:01:59 UTC  

we ultimately have just given up ourselves to faith somewhere along the line.

2018-01-23 01:02:16 UTC  

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

2018-01-23 01:02:25 UTC  

right

2018-01-23 01:02:33 UTC  

its just a power play

2018-01-23 01:03:03 UTC  

this is why progressives only value "power", they consider facts to only be what the person in power declares to be true

2018-01-23 01:03:14 UTC  

yes, but it is only sanctioned because the intellectual elite fundamentally believe in altruism

2018-01-23 01:03:28 UTC  

If i say the sky is blue, but a person in power says its green, to post-moderninsts the sky is green

2018-01-23 01:03:30 UTC  

today, they just take it on faith that we have no free will.

2018-01-23 01:03:34 UTC  

no

2018-01-23 01:03:41 UTC  

the sky is a social construct

2018-01-23 01:03:50 UTC  

i like your thinking Ping 😛

2018-01-23 01:03:57 UTC  

close

2018-01-23 01:05:00 UTC  

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

```Is math sexist? One Vanderbilt University professor believes that it is.

Writing in an academic journal last month, the professor complained about the masculinization of math and how it causes the oppression of women.

Describing mathematics as a “white and heteronormatively masculinized space,” professor Luis A. Leyva insists that factors including teacher expectations and cultural norms “serve as gendering mechanisms that give rise to sex-based achievement differences,” per Campus Reform.

Leyva argues that a “gender gap” exists in mathematical ability due to these social constructs, and that there isn’t any inherent difference in male and female cognitive abilities when it comes to the subject. The differences, he says, give rise to the “myth of male superiority.”

Female underachievement in the field is highlighted, he argues, by teachers who point it out and reinforce cultural expectations.

In the article titled “Unpacking the Male Superiority Myth and Masculinization of Mathematics at the Intersection,” Leyva says that teachers “contribute to the masculinization of the domain that unfairly holds students to men’s higher levels of achievement and participation as a measure of success.”

In other words, being held to a high standard keeps women down.```

2018-01-23 01:05:46 UTC  

no, you're wrong, welfare systems are the **embodiment** of altruism

2018-01-23 01:05:48 UTC  

hahaha read the first sentence then the last one.

2018-01-23 01:05:49 UTC  

because people will learn to survive and learn they are strong enough to survive without a "nanny state"

2018-01-23 01:06:43 UTC  

I though the elite believed in votes

2018-01-23 01:06:45 UTC  

no, they're the embodiment of "ooh look at how nice we are aren't we good?" its the Kind person al over again, they don't do it for the person being helped, tehy do it to make themselves feel good

2018-01-23 01:07:11 UTC  

the nature of altruism is **neccessary sacrifice**. It is a sacrifice of value that is done out of duty. By paying taxes you are giving up something you value, in return for ultimately something you likely do not value.

2018-01-23 01:07:44 UTC  

if you do the sacrifice because you want to, i.e. out of charity, it ceases to be a sacrifice.

2018-01-23 01:08:08 UTC  

it ceases to be altruistic.

2018-01-23 01:08:15 UTC  

Give a man a fish / teach a man to fish argument

Altruism is just gaining favor by showing how nice you are

a true form of Altruism would be to teach people to be independent and strong so they can live their life, find a good partner, and hopefully get children to continue the species as strong as possible

2018-01-23 01:08:26 UTC  

no

2018-01-23 01:08:35 UTC  

that is teaching people how to be selfish.

2018-01-23 01:09:16 UTC  

teaching people to be strong so they can find a mate and sustain themselves is selfish now?

I thought it was selfish to keep people dependent, so they vote for you cuz they know they can't survive on their own

2018-01-23 01:10:02 UTC  

no, that is altruistic, because you are sacrificing to sustain them.
