RE: Three Ways

in #philosophy3 years ago

Yeah, I must have have been pretty young when I thought, "I love being wrong because next time, I'll be right."

It seems pretty natural to me to just let ideas and information flow through me, without being all that possessive about any singular fact or idea. I couldn't imagine feeling so incredibly right that I have to condemn someone else for being so incredibly wrong.

I figure an open-minded discussion is just a lot more fun and educational too. Just an exchange of perspectives. When someone else doesn't play along, and they wanna be a bit more forceful and coercive, I'm just lucky I'm charismatic enough to deflect it most of the time and keep things on good terms.

Sort:  

I used to enjoy those discussions, I think downvote drama has gotten to me lately where my patience drops real quick when it comes to things like that and I just see things in a dark light and think how insignificant and a waste of time everything is. I also get very vulgar when bullshitters try to bullshit their way out of taking responsibility. Maybe I need a vacation.

I think most people are very aware that things like responsibility, accountability, and honesty... are very inconvenient and simply detrimental to have.

Anyone lacking those things is better off.
Even to the point that a person who is forceful and coercive is better off than a person who is not.

All of those things sound nice, but in practice, anyone with them is just carrying more ethical baggage, and all it does is limit them. Sure, they get to feel good about themselves for it, but often, there's a way out, such as literally just running away, or just getting someone else to take the blame.

The sort of world we live in is an evolutionary one, where ethics and morality are objectively meaningless, and instead, it is raw profit, surviving, and thriving that matter.

Thriving not in the cute PAL sense of having enough for everyone, but thriving like a swarm of flies on a corpse.
