Arguing that ignorance is neither good nor bad because it can be manipulated for either good or ill is a poor argument
It is though
Ignore in and of itself is clearly a negative thing, regardless of whether it can be manipulated into something positive
It does, but the world today works through collective morals to decide laws. Not one person
Guns do not shoot people
Democracies are not causing famines
Cars don't run pedestrians over
>> there is always an actor behind those, with bad or good intent
Damn I can't believe Carl "Sargon of Akkad" Benjamin who had key info about Epstein's loli island became the victim of an unfortunate gym accident in his own house, despite not having any gym equipment. He accidentally shot himself 12 times with a modified pistol that has untraceable rifling while simultaneously setting all his hard drives on fire and deleting all his internet accounts. So sad how it happened in 3 days arouns 10pm
Going by your logic nothing is ever good or ill, because anything can be turned positive or negative by people
Almost
We need to generalize to a certain extent and assume that some things are inherently bad or good
Not because they are in the literal sense
Child molestation can never be benevolent
But because in practice that's how we've learned to recognize them
Some things are one-sidedly evil, some one-sidedly good
Most are int he grey area or without any morality at all
You could argue that child molestation can be a positive thing because it brings the child pleasure
Which is obviously fucking retarded
!remind me 200 years
Because the thing itself is inherently negative, even if it is not literally wholly evil
@Skogarbjorn Unions are fascist by the most basic definition of that term. Are they evil?
Mafia is fascist? Are they?
You can argue anything, that's why shitposting works. It's just with some things you'll be objectively wrong
What, recognize a kiddie toucher that wants to see little girls with their tops off, and pose as female...
Niiiiiigg...
Same type of structure of organisation
I've never argued that unions are either fascist or evil. I've argued that we can assume certain things to be inherently bad or good, not because they are in a literal sense, but because they tend to bring about bad far easier than good, or vice versa.
I don't believe in good and evil. But I do believe in differentiating between bad and good for practical reasons.
Objectively wrong to point out nuance in things
I agree that nothing is inherently bad or good in theory, but you can't apply that theory to reality most of the time
Interesting
When did I say it was wrong to point out nuance in things
I guess some people need "[this thing] bad" "[that thing] good" logic only
Nuance be damned
No human being can ever think solely in literal terms
You need to generalize to apply your thinking in practice
@Skogarbjorn It was in responce to @randomNPCno3
"You can argue anything, that's why shitposting works. It's just with some things you'll be objectively wrong"
ah
I want to avoid the type 1 thinking when I analyse politics
Knee-jerk feels-type thinking in patterns is not helpful there
Aye, over-generalizing does us no favors
Anything includes facts like 2+2=4, pointing out nuance is important
Heuristics are not helpful when there is nuance that can sway it either way
