  • Are politicians really magicians in disguise?
    We believe we see politicians do certain things, and hear them say certain things, but then we discover they did, and said, something entirely different. Some of them are really good at it, and charge a lot of money to see their act. Should we applaud, or re-elect?
    ↪Don Wade

    isn't that saying something about the people believing it rather than politicians,etc them actually being experts?
  • Moral realism for the losers and the underdogs
    Some want to learn, some want to teach, some want to do both.
  • Is the reason crime rates are decreasing because nobody calls the police?

    what do you think it would take to make mental health be taken more seriously?

    Public affairs ,I assume public mental health should be more important than it is?

    where does my knowledge come from if I haven't read any philosophy
    Is it all a coincidence, is there any truth in what I speak?
  • Is the only way to live in peace to strive to be amoral?
    ↪Bitter Crank
    your right, to bad I have had enough coincidences to understand everything that's been discussed so far.

    I guess fates on my side

    His (Nietzsche's) book, Beyond Good and Evil , really aims at changing the reader's opinion as to what is good and what is evil
    — Bertrand Russell
    I guess Nietzsches book was so good that it made him doubt himself?
    I wouldn't know since I've never read a book on philosophy in my entire life.
  • Is the only way to live in peace to strive to be amoral?
    If truth can be achieved at all, it can come only from an individual who purposefully disregards everything that is traditionally taken to be "important.
    Nietzsche
    Says create your own
    It's just a coincidence we have the same philosophy
    Nobody has a monopoly on philosophy
  • Is the only way to live in peace to strive to be amoral?
    ↪Amalac
    I didn't try to convince people to change whats good and evil
  • Is the only way to live in peace to strive to be amoral?
    Nietzsche insists that there are no rules for human life, no absolute values, no certainties on which to rely. If truth can be achieved at all, it can come only from an individual who purposefully disregards everything that is traditionally taken to be "important."
    The snake which cannot shed its skin, must die. That's according to the German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche. Writing in 1881, Nietzsche wasn't concerned with snakes, but he was making a point about the ability to change. Or rather that those who refuse to adapt are resisting the inevitability of change.

    striving to be amoral will make myself have peace
    It's impossible to give peace to others unless they seek it for themself

    i dont want to reduce my conscious
    I can't help everyone
  • Is the only way to live in peace to strive to be amoral?
    ↪Bitter Crank
    No, you can't--BECAUSE good people are capable of doing bad things, and conversely, bad people are capable of doing good things.
    I'm not denying that that's why I said I can only trust that I'll do the right thing.
  • Is the only way to live in peace to strive to be amoral?

  • Is the only way to live in peace to strive to be amoral?
    ↪Amalac
    seeing what other people see as good or bad,for better understanding of others and my self , i never said I was amoral but striving to be might be beneficial.

    People who pretend to be good are good?

    I still feel other people's misery ,
    But I would still pretend I dont.

  • Is the only way to live in peace to strive to be amoral?
    Understanding others is what keeps me safe
    ↪Amalac

    Listening to others doesn't keep me safe
    Empathy isn't moral
  • Is the only way to live in peace to strive to be amoral?
    You can be amoral and empathetic at the same time no?
    And when you oppose people's morals your evil no?
    When I do something why does it have to be good or evil?
    Can I just trust that if I'm a good person I'll be a good person
    and if I'm a bad person I'm a bad person?
  • Is the only way to live in peace to strive to be amoral?
    ↪Amalac
    if your evil you don't have to worry about good or bad
    It's more peaceful to be evil
    I suppose amoral is a better word
  • Is the only way to live in peace to strive to be amoral?
    Being evil doesn't mean your lacking empathy
  • Is the only way to live in peace to strive to be amoral?

    Your evil when you oppose people but not when your openly evil.
  • Is the only way to live in peace to strive to be amoral?
    ↪Amalac
    so you don't have to worry about losing things when people say your evil if your actually evil.
  • The "subjects of morality": free will as effective moral judgement
    ↪Pfhorrest
    I don't think you can freely will anything
    To freely will you need to not be restricted by anything.
  • The Problem Of Induction And Free Will
    ↪TheMadFool
    are mental/internal choices hardwired?
    Why aren't people born knowing everything?
    Why would nature not abuse such a thing?
    Is knowing nothing better than knowing something?
  • Solutions for Overpopulation
    Why not let people who want to fight to the death fight to the death?

  • Solutions for Overpopulation
    ↪counterpunch
    even if you had infinite resources, would there be a social structure capable of catering to everyone?
  • The Problem Of Induction And Free Will
    ↪TheMadFool
    Are choices already in your head, do you actually contribute anything to them,
    Are you just observing choices that are already made?
