I think Somalians disagree.

2019-10-23 00:10:34 UTC  

Hence it's subjective.

2019-10-23 00:10:41 UTC  

then why do they all want to come here

2019-10-23 00:11:07 UTC  

Maybe they come to spread their superior life style?

2019-10-23 00:11:09 UTC  

I don't think somalians disagree

2019-10-23 00:11:17 UTC  

I do not think somalians are happy, or prosperous

2019-10-23 00:11:21 UTC  

Even in their ignorance

2019-10-23 00:11:40 UTC  

You don't have to be happy and prosperous to think you live proper lives according to God.

2019-10-23 00:11:42 UTC  

again there are some people (in somalia) that believe US (western) is better some who think western is worse

2019-10-23 00:11:44 UTC  

I think something is very rotten in the hearts of somalians, which is why theyhave a deep propensity towards violent nihilism

2019-10-23 00:12:01 UTC  

West is decadent land of shaytan.

2019-10-23 00:12:05 UTC  

you are treating people as monoliths

2019-10-23 00:12:10 UTC  

Some Mudslime might argue for examel.

2019-10-23 00:12:20 UTC  

Most Muslims prefer Saudi Arabia over USA.

2019-10-23 00:12:37 UTC  

How is USA **objectively** better than Saudi Arabia?

2019-10-23 00:12:51 UTC  

larger

2019-10-23 00:12:51 UTC  

Objectively includes also Islamic perspective.

2019-10-23 00:13:01 UTC  

you are robbing people of their agency.

the right way of living ones "life" is different for each person

2019-10-23 00:13:04 UTC  

Is larger objectively better?

2019-10-23 00:13:07 UTC  

Judeo-Christian teachings try to set people on a path of prosperity and inner happiness, divorced from physical materialism and with a strong moral compass (read: anti-nihilism). Which is why the Petersonian idea of reality works in Judeo-Christian cultures.

2019-10-23 00:13:15 UTC  

Larger is objectively larger

2019-10-23 00:13:16 UTC  

That which 'is real' *must* 'benefit you'

2019-10-23 00:13:23 UTC  

To reduce it

2019-10-23 00:13:29 UTC  

Greater country by mass

2019-10-23 00:13:43 UTC  

@Hexidecimark Well, I asked "How is USA objectively better than Saudi Arabia?", not about largeness.

2019-10-23 00:13:48 UTC  

So don't derail.

2019-10-23 00:14:02 UTC  

@D3bug_logic people have the agency to live their lives wrong though. Being wrong doesn't mean you can't do it, or it shouldn't.

2019-10-23 00:14:10 UTC  

Your question was stupid, ask a better one for a better answer

2019-10-23 00:14:17 UTC  

but it might benefit them to live their life wrong

2019-10-23 00:14:23 UTC  

"wrong"

2019-10-23 00:14:24 UTC  

I don't see how

2019-10-23 00:14:35 UTC  

If it does, then our definition of 'wrong' is wrong

2019-10-23 00:14:44 UTC  

how are you basing your measure? pleasure? meaning? security?

2019-10-23 00:14:55 UTC  

Prosperity and inner happiness

2019-10-23 00:14:58 UTC  

Essentially

2019-10-23 00:15:05 UTC  

Which, yes, are vague

2019-10-23 00:15:09 UTC  

Hence the problem

2019-10-23 00:15:26 UTC  

This is why I prefer the Aristotelian conception of ethics and 'how one ought to live'

2019-10-23 00:15:39 UTC  

exactly you are getting to the point these hard truths cannot be black and white right from wrong

2019-10-23 00:16:14 UTC  

No, I believe they can, but as Aristotle would say, any real science can only be as accurate as the real world allows.

2019-10-23 00:16:22 UTC  

some things might work in the short term, but fail in the long term
