I think the terms "Good" & "Evil" in today's society are:
not comprehended by the vast majority.
subjectively applied, "good" is what I like & want; "evil" is what I don't like or want.
Manipulated by those who have something to gain from it.
The technology available to people today would allow them to find "truth", but it's so much easier to look and see what Kim Kardashian is buying, wearing, doing, driving.
I have to sadly agree with @chhaylin's post yesterday that the masses are not ready for freedom.
Yeah, much like people don't get what is meant by "good" in terms of "good and evil", they don't get what "truth" means when used either. It's true that Kim Kardashian is buying, weareing, etc., but it's an irrelevant truth that doesn't have value or utility in life. Higher quality truths are what mater, like moral truth the most.
There is also the word "quality" that I use to refer to content, meaning he quality of the information in the content, i.e. if it has quality truth that can have utility in our lives. Some people just don't get what "quality" is, and make it personally relevant to them alone, i.e. "subjective quality". Quality information can be objectively discerned because it has utility in life, like moral truth affects the quality and condition of our lives.
Great point, thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for inspiring the thoughts.
Sadly I think that there are an abundance of people for whom there is only one quality, and it is "subjective" in it's nature.
Maybe it's a backlash/overcompensation from generations of people being sold on doing something for "a greater good", which always seems to have lined someone's pockets.
Wow, you've dredged up a quote I read about 30 years ago.
