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.

2021-01-28 03:40:52 UTC  

Literal tangent doesnt matter

2021-01-28 03:40:52 UTC  

Minimizing all pain would be basically impossible.

2021-01-28 03:41:26 UTC  

What?

2021-01-28 03:41:31 UTC  

Answer my question

2021-01-28 03:42:28 UTC  

Why do you think pain is bad? Pain is not bad.

2021-01-28 03:42:42 UTC  

Living things are practically wired to not like pain.
