I am negative in the sense I'm realistic
By negative I assume you mean unhappy
Negative morality defines good based on evil. Positive morality defines evil based on good
I see
The starting point for positive morality is the good
the starting point for negative morality is the evil
What have I said that is negative morality?
You see what is evil, and to you, the good is to make sure that the evil doesn't occur. Thus it is negative
Like, not removing people'
s rights, not oppressing anyone, et c
My morality is positive. While I recognize the existence of evil, what truly matters is to create something good, not to prevent something evil
why is that so tiny
You think that the suffering caused by mandatory sterilizations should not exist, and proclaim procreation to be a universal right
I think that the splendour of nature should exist, and proclaim that we need sustainable breeding
Interesting
Negative morality is a defining trait of leftism
It's not an ideology based on creation, but on negation
Safety from suffering, danger, oppression, etc
Hagel have you spent much time in the wilderness?
Forest cultivation is the ultimate sublimation of positive values. taking a patch of ground, planting nearby seeds, caring for them, and then feeding from them, providing for yourself and the other forest creatures, and bring glory to your lands
Any action can be positively or negatively motivated
Velar Trill however sees nothing good with people breeding freely and a lot, he only sees something bad in restricting the right of people to do so
Tbh
At the end of the day, I am more interested in the results of ideological positions and they affect behavior than how they may appear in an aristotelian schema
and how that behavior affects success
The results are clear for you to see
Now you say it, breeding is a pretty stupid right
You can think that it is a good right
But you should think so for good and positive reasons
omg, I finally popped my wrist back into place
