You are heavily oversimplifying (to the point of incorrectness) every concept you outline, reducing them all down to various flavors of utopianism. On top of that, your final call to action is a mirror reflection of what you just criticized. The truth of the matter is these concepts and many others are all weaving together in a complicated and nuanced way.
- stareatgoats 8y agoSimplifying - guilty as charged. Please show me a statement that is not. But agreed there are limits to how oversimplified things may be portrayed. I sometimes grant myself some leeway in search of a larger picture however, when I assess that someone applying some philosophers charity might find value in it [0] The main difference between those "Utopian dreams" I refer to and my own suggestion is that they hitch hopes on some technology or extraneous happening (the extent to which certainly is debatable), I just wish we would put ourselves and our own moral agency in the drivers seat more.
