I believe in universal morality

2019-01-31 06:09:27 UTC  

Because I believe logic is tied to morality

2019-01-31 06:09:42 UTC  

Since logic is universal, so too is morality

2019-01-31 06:09:52 UTC  

In what way is it tied to logic?

2019-01-31 06:10:21 UTC  

Logic dictates what is right and wrong, because right and wrong is what is best for an individual and everyone

2019-01-31 06:10:36 UTC  

Goodness is what allows us to work together and thrive in peace

2019-01-31 06:10:47 UTC  

Ergo they are interwoven

2019-01-31 06:11:00 UTC  

But what if the caliph consents?

2019-01-31 06:11:14 UTC  

@halfthink ? Please elaborate

2019-01-31 06:12:02 UTC  

It's only the Muslim man's consent that counts.

2019-01-31 06:12:03 UTC  

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

2019-01-31 06:12:11 UTC  

Makes sense.

2019-01-31 06:12:44 UTC  

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

2019-01-31 06:13:05 UTC  

Well, sometimes it'd arguably help you

2019-01-31 06:13:11 UTC  

@Termer explain

2019-01-31 06:13:22 UTC  

by that definition, something really bad but with good and genuine intent can't be evil ?

2019-01-31 06:13:35 UTC  

Whether or not rape and pedophilia are illegal depends on whether or not the rapist is a minority.

2019-01-31 06:13:44 UTC  

@Ranko no, because intent is a guess and not necessarily logical

2019-01-31 06:13:55 UTC  

Well, for instance, stealing someone's property might benefit you, while hurting the person you stole from.

2019-01-31 06:14:28 UTC  

@Termer and so since it hurts someone who didn't deserve it necessarily it would be wrong

2019-01-31 06:14:40 UTC  

eugenics, killing a few people for the benefits of millions.
evil ? benevolent ?

2019-01-31 06:14:52 UTC  

@Termer If the person you stole from stole from others it is up to the bigger picture anyway

2019-01-31 06:14:56 UTC  

...ya, see how little this makes sesne? That's why I don't believe in evil...lol

2019-01-31 06:14:57 UTC  

True.

2019-01-31 06:15:12 UTC  

@Paradox explain

2019-01-31 06:15:14 UTC  

got the new humble ps4 bundle... still buying a lot of my games this way https://www.humblebundle.com/games/indie-playstation-bundle-2019

2019-01-31 06:15:17 UTC  

Evil is hard to define universally.

2019-01-31 06:15:26 UTC  

It's easy to do on a smaller scale.

2019-01-31 06:15:32 UTC  

Because people agree on morality.

2019-01-31 06:15:34 UTC  

I agree

2019-01-31 06:15:38 UTC  

No, people do not.

2019-01-31 06:15:46 UTC  

Eugenics is a myth. There is only dysgenics.

2019-01-31 06:15:47 UTC  

Small scale is easier

2019-01-31 06:15:52 UTC  

I mean in smaller settings, people tend to agree.

2019-01-31 06:16:01 UTC  

Even a person doesn't necessarily.

2019-01-31 06:16:35 UTC  

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

2019-01-31 06:16:42 UTC  

However

2019-01-31 06:17:04 UTC  

@Gilgamesh, euthanasia, helping people to die. Evil or not ?

2019-01-31 06:17:09 UTC  

I did talk to a friend last week and there are only two logical routes to take in foreign affairs
