I believe in universal morality
Because I believe logic is tied to morality
Since logic is universal, so too is morality
In what way is it tied to logic?
Logic dictates what is right and wrong, because right and wrong is what is best for an individual and everyone
Goodness is what allows us to work together and thrive in peace
Ergo they are interwoven
But what if the caliph consents?
@halfthink ? Please elaborate
It's only the Muslim man's consent that counts.
Anyway compassion is logical because you help others and they help you, or others help you. And we raise each other up through that teamwork
Makes sense.
Evil is inherently illogical because you do things that are only about self interest and madness or that which is merely destructive and doesn't help anyone
Well, sometimes it'd arguably help you
by that definition, something really bad but with good and genuine intent can't be evil ?
Whether or not rape and pedophilia are illegal depends on whether or not the rapist is a minority.
Well, for instance, stealing someone's property might benefit you, while hurting the person you stole from.
@Termer and so since it hurts someone who didn't deserve it necessarily it would be wrong
eugenics, killing a few people for the benefits of millions.
evil ? benevolent ?
@Termer If the person you stole from stole from others it is up to the bigger picture anyway
...ya, see how little this makes sesne? That's why I don't believe in evil...lol
True.

Evil is hard to define universally.
It's easy to do on a smaller scale.
Because people agree on morality.
I agree
No, people do not.
Eugenics is a myth. There is only dysgenics.
Small scale is easier
I mean in smaller settings, people tend to agree.
Even a person doesn't necessarily.
I'd argue that it is illogical to use "the ends justify the means" Because if anyone found out, your end goal just got trumped by their knowledge
However
@Gilgamesh, euthanasia, helping people to die. Evil or not ?
I did talk to a friend last week and there are only two logical routes to take in foreign affairs
