Best philosophical posters on here?

[2CT]

Yeah

i wholeheartedly disagree

if i'm walking down the street and another person occupying the sidewalk falls over and i continue walking, that doesn't make me wicked or evil because there could be several reasons for that lack of compassion

maybe i'm late for work, maybe i don't like that person, maybe i just don't give a fukk or maybe someone else fell over that is older and more injury prone that i chose to help instead of the first person

but if a person engages in what you would describe as an evil behavior in an attempt to attain more money, is money not the cause for their change in action?

and by your description if we take the fixed points of evil and good and insert a variable such as money, at that point how could the variable not acquire the ability to sway the human's actions in favor of good or evil endeavors? is that not an example of the fact money could not only cause evil but also good results

Money, or whatever material thing, or whatever decision can create a behavior. So money can create evil behavior. That's what I was alluding too.

To suggest that it creates evil entirely would be to suggest that evil was never created in the first place. Evil has been created already. Therefore material things create actions based on defined notions of good behavior and evil behavior.

so if the evil actions of humans inhabiting the earth are not what originally created evil then what is the source of evil in your opinion? you can't say evil manifested on its own as your counterargument to the original question because you can't provide empirical evidence of that and it's based off your own personal theory

evil seemingly was created when the first being did something that was perceived as an evil action, therefore evil actions created the evil and money can create evil actions

based on that how could you argue that money cannot create or cause evil?

Uh...that's evilness...and does make you wicked...just because you choose to ignore something doesn't mean you did not contribute to someone's suffering. Compassion separates higher lifeforms from lower ones.


I would say people who live in the West are wicked because they greatly benefit from Western dominance over the world and idly sit by while millions to billions people are killed, overworked and abused to support the USA citizen's drug habit and consumer goods addiction.

how does ignorance equal lack of compassion? if i'm ignorant to the fact that i'm contributing to someone's suffering (as most of the population in the Western world may be) than that doesn't automatically mean i'm uncompassionate, compassion isn't based on action or lack thereof

it's impossible for me or any single person to alleviate the suffering of everyone on the planet and by your arguments that would make us evil by default, regardless of our actions or our sympathetic dispositions

I feel like when life was created, humans were not created to be perfect. Therefore the lack of perfection would be the representation of faults. Faults can then be broken down into tolerable faults or intolerable faults since it represents the lack of perfection that started at the beginning of life creation. So that's set and fixed. Then as we became more intelligent we began to identify tolerable and intolerable faults that represent lack of perfection based on perceived intolerable actions. However, fault was already created due to the lack of perfection at the creation point. We just needed to identify the actions that were associated with these intolerable faults.

still if you insert a variable such as currency which can not only alter one's perception of both the intolerable and tolerable faults but can also influence the actions of not just one person but an entire colony of people, than i don't see how you can deny the fact that the variable led to the cause of the fault

if lack of perfection is the source of an intolerable fault, than would not currency (which is pretty much just a symbol of security) be the source of that lack of perfection? not to say that the world would be perfect without money as a necessary factor but i'm sure based of your assertion that you would concur with the statement of money attributing to the lack of perfection in humans by default

The variable is the cause of the behavior that's assigned to the already fixed fault.

Currency itself is not the source of lack of perfection. Because currency in isolation without the interference of behavior, action intelligence is just an item. There's nothing attached to it. It's just there. When you combine behavior, action and intelligence together, evil behavior can be created in a joint effort by the item and are behavior.

aight breh, good debate

I'd rep you if I could @CinnaSlim for the mention and the reference to my avatar

My first thought was to say I'm not really don't know if I'd call myself philosophical. And I’m not the most active poster (which is probably an understatement when you look at my join date vs. post count)

But then again, that’s not what the OP asked. It’s not a self-evaluation. The OP asked about any posters if you know of any posters who’ve dropped gems. So if I’ve said anything on any topic that has made someone give deeper thought to it on some level, then perhaps that’s enough. And I’m glad if I anything I’ve said at some point has had that effect on someone.

This thread does remind me that there’s a thread I’ve been meaning to make

yeah that's exactly what it's about homie

TLR overall is shallow as fukk and people complain bout repetitive threads but they keep getting made cause they're the only ones people respond to, all the thinking outside the box threads with some depth flop

shout out to the breh @Code : Karma though im surprised no one mentioned him

 

[Chasing Dopeness]

another glorified shout out thread but i'm looking to follow new people on here

state the names of some dope philosophical posters that stay dropping the witty intellectual gems

Say no more, just peep the jewels that are easily missed and overlooked
