A moment of your time is all I ask, and in it, the answer to a question that has busied the minds of some of the world's greatest and consequently most idle thinkers. Your philosophical standing is not crucial here, merely answer by instinct.

Is it permissable to deliberately cause unhappiness, destitution or even death to the few, if the resulting ( Read more... )

You're being rather obvious.

It must be your age.

That must be it.

There's so little point in hiding anything from you; it would be a waste of my time.

[Mercy is cooking and cleaning. It's a day off for her.]

Are you speaking in human terms or animal? In human terms, no. It's not. We take care of our sick and weak. In animal terms, yes, it'd be permissible. Even some human societies allow it.

Permatext dragonvariation November 13 2011, 14:59:44 UTC

Why one and not the other? What is the difference between humans and animals, as you perceive it?

Permavideo vw_coyote November 13 2011, 15:05:09 UTC

That is the difference. The compassion we show to those weaker than us and those that cannot care for themselves is the difference. Animals care only for the group, for the whole. Humans care about the individual.

And should that be the case? That we allow our compassion for the individual lead to self-destruction?

That would depend on the few.

Propose the circumstances. I would be most interested to hear them.

Re: anonymous text st_murphy November 13 2011, 15:07:19 UTC

Should deliberately cause unhappiness, destitution or even death to evil men? Fuck yes.

dragonvariation November 13 2011, 15:12:36 UTC

Very well. Now I must ask you to define evil.

Only when doing so would save all of time and space.

permatext dragonvariation November 13 2011, 15:05:10 UTC

How specific.

permavid stillhaslegs December 18 2011, 03:05:23 UTC

I'm a specific sort of man, I guess you could say.

text. quackery November 13 2011, 17:03:26 UTC

of course that's not okay!

text. dragonvariation November 13 2011, 19:21:47 UTC

Why not?

text. quackery November 13 2011, 21:03:59 UTC

because hurting people isn't okay!

text. dragonvariation November 13 2011, 21:23:36 UTC

Even if those people will cause greater harm to many more?
