Just a reminder
8 2018-04-23 by Beat_bit
It's easy to get caught up in the gnarly plans the powerful have for the world. There is evil in the world, it's the duality of magnetism making itself known through human nature. A weird fundamental concept of thermodynamics. But, remember that the internet started as a tool for war, we developed nuclear bombs before power plants, etc. Don't underestimate the power of good in all of us. Don't get discouraged. This world/intelligence is complex for a reason. And I truly think the end result is good. So don't give up, and if you have a good heart remember to speak up. That's all, thanks for your time.

Good will always defeat Evil in the end!

There is no pure good and there is no pure evil. No black and white, only grey
1 DonnaGail 2018-04-23
Well, I don't believe that.
1 cokedoutboohbah 2018-04-23
That's too bad

Well, grey matter. Everything is magnetism. Good and evil is a silly concept, the equation is as balanced as possible without annihilating. It's just that positivity has some extra energy behind it.

I don't believe that's true.

Well, I believe it. I've always believed it.

I'm 49. Our thoughts and words hold great power. I wish more people knew this and realized the truth.

The truth is that all throughout human history psychopaths have been able to take positions of power from good people because of their willingness to do anything, and hurt anyone, to get that position of power.
At present a small handful of wealthy psychopaths have hijacked the most powerful government and military on the planet and are using them to carry out their own personal world domination agenda with virtually no real opposition.
They're two steps away from having so much power that nothing besides a massive meteor impact will ever defeat them.

When the numbers come together we'll throw a collective spear.

So really you're going to be pretty much dead by the time anything happens after your generation polluted our culture, raped our government, and handed down trillions of wealth to your kids and grandkids, and you wanna say good always wins in the end? Seems like the opposite is true, the boomers won. You just think your generation is good.

The problem is we don't agree on what is good and what is evil.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2018-04-23
We have established morals and Natural Law. Don't let TPTB trick you into compromising them.
1 daysOFdelusion 2018-04-23
If these "natural laws are so dominant," why don't I know what they are.
Can you list the "natural laws," and tell me where they are recorded and who created or agreed upon what they are?
What are these, natural laws,?

Wikipedia was created for the single purpose of providing misinformation and lies and history rewriting all delivered with a libertarian/Bircher vision.
We cannot rely that any of the ideas posted there were not altered from their original.
These "natural laws," are all written by men. And the idea of God is from the brains of men and or women.
There are many ideas, and some are directly opposite of others.
Stoic natural law
Cicero
Christianity
English Jurisprudence
American jurisprudence
Hobbes
Liberal (libertarian) natural law
Islamic natural law
Brehon law
Catholic natural law
Contemporary jurisprudence
Which one is the "Natural" Natural laws
So no, you cannot provide me with a list of "natural laws."
1 Putin_loves_cats 2018-04-23
-US Declaration of Independence
Do you agree with this declaration?
1 daysOFdelusion 2018-04-23
No, it excludes women and there is no "right to life" and you know not even the founders gave it a second thought when they decided the slaves were 3/5ths of a person so the slave holding states could have good solid numbers in the House of Representatives.
And it was written by men, it is not a natural law by any stretch of the imagination.
Who defies "equal" and how can you have a "right" to life when you are dependent upon another human to acquire that life and to stay alive for several years.
And who is this, "creator?"
No evidence on that one at all.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2018-04-23
Glad we got that out of the way.
No it doesn't.
All men have a right to life, which means, the means to protect and preserve one's life. (ie. the Right to Keep and Bear arms - protection and hunting - feeding oneself)
Irrelevant to our conversation right now.
Irrelevant. Furthermore, do you feel the same way about math/sciences (for example)? They were also developed and written by men.
Yes, they are: "that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights" Meaning, no man or institution (Government) can take them away.
It's right there: "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." If you are a human being, you have certain unalienable Rights. That's what equal means, this context.
Irrelevant to our conversation right now.
That's the beauty of it. It could be anything, regardless of whether someone believes in it. It just is.
1 daysOFdelusion 2018-04-23
Thanks for the thoughts they are your beliefs, not "natural laws," that apply to all humans. As I said befor you have no natural right to stay alive just because you are born. You are entirely dependent upon others to gain that life.
I in a general sense love that opening sentence of the Declaration of Independence, but it really is and always about the men of property, who wrote it.
1 LurkPro3000 2018-04-23
You should watch some Mark Passio explain Natural Law and then come in here and argue against it. I'd love to hear your talking points then: since as you said before, you had never heard of it. So why should I take alyour flippantly negative assertions as anything but that. Your ignorance is showing and my patience is low for someone who chooses to ignore.

Very good points. I honestly think we try our best, and the collective realization of good and evil is why things get better as we get smarter.
1 Beat_bit 2018-04-23
Good point, what is good and evil? I think it boils down to human emotion. Don't make others feel like shit, help them feel positive emotion, and feel good doing it. Boom simple enough for the most idiotic.
1 daysOFdelusion 2018-04-23
Nice, thanks.
1 Beat_bit 2018-04-23
We don't need to agree. Without competition there is no progress or purpose. Just saying it's a clever situation of yin and yang, in which we use our intelligence to find consensus and the eventuality is pretty fucking sweet as long as we fight for the obvious stuff.
1 daysOFdelusion 2018-04-23
Good illustration about finding agreement, I disagree that competition is the driver. I think it is need, individual, family, community, an outward expansion of needs to be met and goods and services to meet them.
I am not sure though what kind of competition you mean? do you mean for social and financial status?
Or are you saying competition produces the frictions of social and financial status and that is the need, to win a place in a hierarchical system?
How does competition work in an ancient culture like Hinduism, with really strict hierarchies, but a long history of trading and building?
1 Beat_bit 2018-04-23
I mean the competition of ideas. The collective competition of you raising a counterpoint, me considering it, and arriving at synthesis more towards what we want collectively.
1 Beat_bit 2018-04-23
The problem is that people figured out they could hack the system. But, eventually, we will collectively clean up the stain, even if it's a nasty one.

Try posting a comment critical of the US military on any popular sub.
Something's really wrong right now.
1 Beat_bit 2018-04-23
On a thread about how awful war is and how TPTB makes money on both sides, exponentially increasing their capacity for domination.. I got -42 for saying "don't pay taxes and don't join the military." I seriously doubt people were THAT opposed to what I was saying, considering the thread. It's obvious what scares them, and it's all of us waking up together and actually acting.
1 captain_obvioused 2018-04-23
I think adopting this view point comes with being a bit naive at this point...
