I’m not saying everything can be ranked.
I understood your response to my last comment as a rebuttle to the idea that “any moral formula is shit from the perspective of another legit moral framework”
Therefore I assumed you thought that there is some way to objectively say, “killing people is better than not killing people.” Which even though I agree with it, I’ve found I can’t prove it without using an axiom that is just my feelings.
I think as a society we would need to understand consciousness to be able to have any hope of discovering an objective morality.
There is a gray zone, there is an acceptable zone, and there is a line, which always must exist, and when anyone crosses it, they must be removed from society.
I mean yeah I agree. It would be energy intensive to try and allow everything, so obviously we don’t allow anyone to do anything. That would be unstable. But that doesn’t prove that we have objective reasons for where we draw lines. It’s all just power and negotiation.
Preaching hate on innocents is not legally forbidden (well, depends on the country), but it is morally wrong.
I said something similar earlier. Glad we are all sane here.

I think objective morality gives blind spots because it can be a bit thought terminating. If you keep asking why something is good or bad, you’ll eventually find yourself at an assumption that isn’t really better than, “thats just what I feel”.
But also I get it if you don’t see it that way. I couldn’t make the phrase “good and bad are two sides of the same coin” be anything but a lie for a few years. And maybe I’m just crazy for having that make sense to me now.
But I really think that value systems and world views can’t be ranked in a vaccume. Therefore I don’t see any objectiveness.

Now hold up. We’ll start having too much fun with relativism if you keep talking like that.
But even being a relativist, I find being a utilitarian is really helpful for actually interacting with the world. It’s just that whatever formula you use will always be shit from the perspective of another totally legit value system.
All that to say: Yeah I agree, doesn’t matter if he thought he was Jesus. He was causing real harm to people.

That author seems to post 3 articles a day. I mean they obviously arent researched passion projects, but that quota is wild. How much can you really understand in a third of a work day?

I mean you’d have to be pretty smart to make the perfect system. Things failing isn’t proof that things can’t be better.

I think you are underestimating how adaptable humans are. We absolutely conform to the systems that govern us, and they are NOT equally likely to produce bad outcomes.

Around me sativa/indica is just a short hand for how sleepy weed is. No one (around me) pays attention if the weed is actually genetically close to either.
I think its just habit that I use those words rather than saying sleepy or energizing.

That was way more explosive than I expected.
If anyone else see this can they explain how wanting voting day to be a national holiday before juneteenth is so touchy?
Like having voting day off would be a tangible benefit to everyone, especially any folks that live paycheck to paycheck or have more abusive employers. It would literally swing our politics in the favor of our most vulnerable.
To me juneteenth is important, but more in a historic and emotional sense. Which is cool, but like if we were gonna do just one I’d pick the one that helps the most folks.
- Comment on Midweek feels 2 months ago:
Well for me I guess I would’ve liked voting day to be a holiday before we got to any others. It felt like a vibey culture war win rather than actual progress.
But like it is a thing worth celebrating. Much better than Columbus day lol.

I think social media can be used for a large variety of things. Many important movements (50501 for a current example) greatly rely on social media to mobilize folks.

I totally respect having boundaries like that. Some folks just won’t hear a word you say.
- Comment on We gonna fight 4 months ago:
Like you have a point, it just feels like it’s against the spirit of the post.
I see liberals (at least in the US) as folks that mean well, but maybe aren’t so informed. They can have a seat at my table.
