the actions themselves seem hollow unless they serve some end

Just do weed and die at 23 from heroin overdose

the act of carrying on heritage of ancestors in itself is not good or bad

GG @Juts, you just advanced to level 5!

They serve the end of something actually relevant namely making your people survive and thrive

Are those the only two options? Lol

I mean mostly the genetic heritage of your ancestors

Be a Nazi or do heroin?

yes

Seems like there’s some middle ground

Nah

carrying on a particular type of gene for no reason seems meaningless

Either commit your life to the survival of your people or perish like a masterless dog

how is it "your" people

Becouse i share heritage and genetics and culture and values

so?

They're extended family

you are proclaiming they are

Good for you. My values involve individual rights and personal agency

they change too

They're still my extended family though

culture and values

Cultures and values are reflections of the people that practice them

Culture doesn't just appear out of nowhere

You said yourself that nothing is objective, so your culture has no value than that which you put on it, right?

Very economical discussion

much money

Nothing has value

Except for what we prescribe to it

they are socially constructed, they change through history,

culture, values, race

etc.

And?

Ok, so if I prescribe no value to culture, it has no value and therefore can be ignored as a factor in creating public policy

Race hasn't changed much up here

you are valuing carrying on heritage of ancestors based on what?

We had a few germans living in stockholm

And that's about it

Becouse i want my descendants to do the same for me becouse i think being part of something greater than your current material existance is good

And contributing to something greater than yourself is good

Like your family
