I mean the meaning of real and tangible things that the average person in any organic society recognises and cares about, which apparently leftists are only capable of straw manning under several layers denial, instead of imaginary and vague ideas such as "humanity"

2021-01-28 03:21:25 UTC  

I think that we should make an effort to improve life for intelligent sentient beings capable of perceiving physical and emotional pain.

2021-01-28 03:21:37 UTC  

See what i mean

2021-01-28 03:21:38 UTC  

Lmfao

2021-01-28 03:21:48 UTC  

What motivates you?

2021-01-28 03:21:53 UTC  

Serving the nation state?

2021-01-28 03:22:38 UTC  

what if my nation doesn't have a nation state

2021-01-28 03:22:46 UTC  

I don't think any average person thinks in the terms of nation state

2021-01-28 03:23:10 UTC  

But i definitely feel motivated by my nation in the most organic meaning

2021-01-28 03:24:15 UTC  

I personally feel it is important to help humanity as a whole. Not just my won nation. I have been to other countries and had just as strong a desire to help people there as in my own nation.

2021-01-28 03:24:24 UTC  

u already said that

2021-01-28 03:24:34 UTC  

Also struggle is what improves the lives of "intelligent sentient beings capable of perceiving physical and emotional pain", not humanitarian ideas that any sane person avoids

2021-01-28 03:24:56 UTC  

I see no characteristic which makes the well being of my countrymen much more valuable than the well being of a foreign countrymen.

2021-01-28 03:25:03 UTC  

Gayest reason to care about the environment

2021-01-28 03:25:24 UTC  

Then you must be possessed by demons

2021-01-28 03:25:34 UTC  

only reasonable response

2021-01-28 03:25:49 UTC  

Yes

2021-01-28 03:25:49 UTC  

to that

2021-01-28 03:26:11 UTC  

Certainly demons

2021-01-28 03:26:34 UTC  

your definition of "improving life" ultimately ends up in stuff like feeding wild animals contraceptives

2021-01-28 03:28:27 UTC  

Sounds cool

2021-01-28 03:29:09 UTC  

You're some sort of modern day gnostic.

2021-01-28 03:30:04 UTC  

I am not very familiar with the "gnostic" but sure.

2021-01-28 03:31:41 UTC  

Whats the deal with Augustus in this server?

2021-01-28 03:32:04 UTC  

You're acting like some sort of slime or sponge. I prod you and you give in insomuch as I apply pressure. That's no fun.

2021-01-28 03:32:30 UTC  

How do I give in?

2021-01-28 03:35:33 UTC  

Whatever. Can you define what "improve life" means?

2021-01-28 03:35:44 UTC  

When you say improve for intelligent sentient beings capable of perceiving physical and emotional pain

2021-01-28 03:36:44 UTC  

Create an environment which minimizes the pain both physical and emotional and maximizes the pleasure both physical and emotional of all people.

2021-01-28 03:37:01 UTC  

I think pleasure is good and pain is bad.

2021-01-28 03:37:13 UTC  

Therefore one should be maximized and the other minimized in society.

2021-01-28 03:37:25 UTC  

You didn't say all people originally.

2021-01-28 03:37:46 UTC  

What did I say?

2021-01-28 03:37:59 UTC  

If I said society I meant human society as in all people.

2021-01-28 03:38:34 UTC  

You said "intelligent sentient beings capable of perceiving physical and emotional pain"

2021-01-28 03:38:44 UTC  

Yes

2021-01-28 03:39:25 UTC  

I think that intelligent animals that can feel pain and pleasure should be treated in a moral/ethical by people.

2021-01-28 03:40:13 UTC  

Why do you think pain is bad so that it has to be reduced (to minimum)?

2021-01-28 03:40:21 UTC  

Pain is a very healthy mechanism.

2021-01-28 03:40:26 UTC  

Not zero

2021-01-28 03:40:43 UTC  

Minimized to the greatest extent possible.
