I know how we can help alleviate war problems

the only people who would disagree is a couple greek philosophers and nazis who see virtue in war

We really need to suppress Islam

we need to wipe the ideas and replace them with rational selfishness

that goes for everything though

Yes

Buddhist values might be of use

no they wont

buddhist values are dumb as shit

Some of them aren't

Just voted first time today

the fucking system sucks

Buddha saw life as suffering I get skeptical of anything taken from his philosophy

You can't rationalize every social need in the moment, and from a "selfish" perspective

so easy to defraud

@Beemann yes you can for the most part

Why can't we vote online by blockchain?

wtf

Do you think there's a rational basis for any traditional values?

@Beemann it depends but normally no

yeah man

Let's do family. That's an easy one

Presumption of innocence

from the Bible

Is there a rational basis for a family "unit"?

depends

On?

do you value your family depending what you mean by family unit

What do you mean by that?

@Beemann yes, it was called your retirement plan

It was, it isn't any longer

Have enough children in the hope that enough of them would live into adulthood and take care of your elderly butt

Cost of living in some areas is high enough that your kids won't be able to support you

@Beemann they dont have to

Which means you'd have to rely on collective movement

they arent bound morally by it

Why are you saying that to me when it wasn't my point?

it depends where the values stand

What's the rational basis for a family unit, or is there not one?

depends

On?
