There are multiple factors at hand.
For example, soldiers kill people, because it's "war" or they have "orders" or it's "the just way to deal with things".
If they'd kill the same person on the streets as a civilian, everyone would be disgusted and angry. Yet for it's former reason people feel the need to give medals and applaud.
You should think about this really hard for a second.
Our minds are not entirely our own, and simple cognitive pushes here and there can change our entire perspective just like that, while OBJECTIVELY it's still a dead human in this particular example.
With that said, one should not seek black and white answers in this concept. Mentall illnesses and for that matter the law system are dynamic and constantly in motion.
- xxxdarrenxxx 9y agoThere are people who are blind, deaf, have organ failure, have malformed limbs etc. Yet we expect that people's brains have 99.9% succes rate, if our perspective sees fit. ..this is our GREATEST BIAS ever. And anyone with a brain (no pun) should consider themselves less than objective, if they think they or anyone else has anywhere near full control of their own brain. A few simple example, but there are many; - Try holding your breath untill you pass out, Your mind won't let you. - Try to get rid of anxienty, just by thinking "anxiety off". ..never happened ever - Go in a rollercoaster, and turn off your adrenaline function. How did that go? - Remember that time you got drunk and didn't remember the night before? But you did remember to navigate the road, walk towards your house, put the key in your door, walk to the correct room, and distinguish object bed from object chair, carpet, pc etc. ..but you don't know anything?? If your mind can do that without you at the helm, then why is it hard to see for some that control is more illusion than reality in many cases. Even when the evidence is right in front off us. Our sense for acknowledgement, or better yet the fear that we might not have full control is so scary, we try to push control on ourselves to a point where we border denial and pride. tldr; People only experience their own cognition, that they forget so many off our brain systems are out of our direct control and beyond our knowledge.
