About lying to each other, another contradiction. Of course everyone wants honesty, as long as it doesn't hurt oneself.
- hutzlibu 10y agoYes, of course it is meant to maximize the potential of the individual ... but that doesnt mean it is useful from a objective view, meaning is it useful to humanity as a whole. (The whole discussion is a theoretical "wouldn't it be nice if" ...) For example we value clean skin ... maybe because people with clean skin are probably less likely to get skin cancer ... but with cosmetics people are just hiding their not perfect skin ... and maybe even improve their chances of skin cancer with side effects. So from a idealistic point of view, I think it would be better to accept that most of us don't have perfect clean skin, so what? Where is the point in spending so much effort in hiding it?
