SO THAT MAKES SENSE

2017-12-04 17:24:23 UTC  

BUT THIS INDICATES THAT QUALITY OF BRAIN IS PHYSICAL

@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ MISANTHROPY WOULD BE BLANKET HATRED; I DESIRE QUALITY CONTROL

2017-12-04 17:24:51 UTC  

TO LOVE HUMANITY IS TO HATE ITS WEAKNESSES

2017-12-04 17:25:06 UTC  

WHEN THOSE ARE EMBODIED IN PEOPLE MORE THAN NOT, IT MAKES SENSE TO HAARSLEV THEM AND REWARD THE GOOD INSTEAD

2017-12-04 17:26:45 UTC  

Weakness is good.

2017-12-04 17:26:58 UTC  

There's nothing to overcome if you're not weak in some way.

2017-12-04 17:27:05 UTC  

And what's most valuable is what's earned.

2017-12-04 17:27:06 UTC  

I think you have to love your weaknesses or they fall out of your control.

2017-12-04 17:27:40 UTC  

If you try to push them out, you only make them crop up in more subtle and therefore less manageable ways

2017-12-04 17:28:25 UTC  

Weakness is to be loved, for giving you something to overcome.

2017-12-04 17:29:24 UTC  

Your weakness can exist for others.

2017-12-04 17:29:44 UTC  

It's their challenge.

2017-12-04 17:30:20 UTC  

Overcoming weakness doesn't really mean eliminating them but making yourself whole I guess. That whole chariot metaphor. You don't get rid of passions or desires you direct them.

2017-12-04 17:30:21 UTC  

And it's your challenge to be involved in their challenge in this way.

2017-12-04 17:31:09 UTC  

The problem is only in weakness being made strength, and strength being made weakness.

2017-12-04 17:31:20 UTC  

@Nester "There's nothing to overcome if you're not weak in some way." -- I DISAGREE. THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY TO BE BETTER, BUT CALLING THAT WEAKNESS IS A STRETCH.

2017-12-04 17:31:29 UTC  

SOME PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY WEAK IN MENTAL AND MORAL STRUCTURE

2017-12-04 17:31:34 UTC  

IF WE HAARSLEV THEM, EVOLUTION ADVANCES

2017-12-04 17:32:51 UTC  

Evolution isn't teleological. Unless you have a theological bent

2017-12-04 17:32:57 UTC  

That's unstated

2017-12-04 17:33:02 UTC  

They should be allowed and encouraged to work out their problems.

2017-12-04 17:33:05 UTC  

CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT IS NOT TELEOLOGICAL

2017-12-04 17:33:08 UTC  

And punished if need be.

2017-12-04 17:33:11 UTC  

ADAPTATION

2017-12-04 17:33:13 UTC  

IS THE RULE

2017-12-04 17:33:26 UTC  

Adaption isn't improvement

2017-12-04 17:33:46 UTC  

A flying squirrel isn't an improvement over a grounded one

2017-12-04 17:34:08 UTC  

Each is adapted to circumstance/ecological niche

2017-12-04 17:34:43 UTC  

A flying squirrel is an improvement over a grounded one in an ecological niche rewarding flying.

2017-12-04 17:35:55 UTC  

But you're presuming that both occupy the same niche

2017-12-04 17:35:59 UTC  

And evolution isn't perfect.

2017-12-04 17:36:20 UTC  

Flying squirrel might have an advantage over grounded squirrel even in grounded squirrel's environment.

2017-12-04 17:36:49 UTC  

It's just that grounded squirrel has more of an advantage in his environment than his ancestors did.

2017-12-04 17:37:18 UTC  

a bat would be even more of an improvement in that niche

2017-12-04 17:37:40 UTC  

But fair worse

2017-12-04 17:37:46 UTC  

Didn't assume they occupied the same niche.

2017-12-04 17:37:49 UTC  

you know living like a squirrel

2017-12-04 17:37:57 UTC  

Just that it's possible to measure improvement.

2017-12-04 17:38:25 UTC  

That's different than whether or not adaption should be considered in terms of improvement

2017-12-04 17:38:37 UTC  

Or treated as a like terms
