Q: What happens when we stop agreeing on what the “good” is? A. I am right and you are evil. Age old conflict resolution method.

He with the biggest gun wins. Now I'm not exactly sure why the side which is currently stoking the culture war is also the one that's disarmed itself, but here we are.

  I’m curious, I genuinely dont know what sides you’re talking about. Who do you think is stoking the culture war?

      I see folks across the political spectrum all repeating different mantras. Who are you referring to?

    Which side is currently trying to make science fit their world view?
    - landryraccoon 4y ago
      I'm still not sure what you're trying to say. My first guess is that climate change deniers are the biggest culprits of trying to make science fit a contradictory world view, and my second guess would be anti-vaccine advocates.

        Yes, anti-nuclear activists and supporters of MRNA treatments are indeed two very dangerous factions of the anti-science crowd. Unfortunately it's not only limited to the left wing of the political spectrum.

"Good" is not well-defined so let’s rephrase it as "interests". People with the same ideologies flocks together. So when conflict of interest happens, each flock believes that > "We" are good and "they" are evil. > "We" are right and "they" are wrong.

  As mentioned elsewhere here, good cannot be reduced into simpler terms. You're correct, we must refer to specifics.
