what if my nation doesn't have a nation state
I don't think any average person thinks in the terms of nation state
But i definitely feel motivated by my nation in the most organic meaning
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.
u already said that
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
I see no characteristic which makes the well being of my countrymen much more valuable than the well being of a foreign countrymen.
Gayest reason to care about the environment
Then you must be possessed by demons
only reasonable response
Yes
to that
Certainly demons
your definition of "improving life" ultimately ends up in stuff like feeding wild animals contraceptives
Sounds cool
You're some sort of modern day gnostic.
I am not very familiar with the "gnostic" but sure.
Whats the deal with Augustus in this server?
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.
How do I give in?
When you say improve for intelligent sentient beings capable of perceiving physical and emotional pain
Create an environment which minimizes the pain both physical and emotional and maximizes the pleasure both physical and emotional of all people.
I think pleasure is good and pain is bad.
Therefore one should be maximized and the other minimized in society.
You didn't say all people originally.
What did I say?
If I said society I meant human society as in all people.
You said "intelligent sentient beings capable of perceiving physical and emotional pain"
Yes
I think that intelligent animals that can feel pain and pleasure should be treated in a moral/ethical by people.
Why do you think pain is bad so that it has to be reduced (to minimum)?
Pain is a very healthy mechanism.
Not zero
Minimized to the greatest extent possible.
Literal tangent doesnt matter
Minimizing all pain would be basically impossible.
What?
Answer my question
Why do you think pain is bad? Pain is not bad.
Living things are practically wired to not like pain.
