I'm not going to debate whether or not fossil fuel executives choosing to lie to us and burn the planet is moral or rational, "because teleology". Ugh.

- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoNot the point at all. You seem to feel fairly certain that humanity is "on a path", and that there's going with that flow and there's going against it. You're welcome to believe that, but it's far from a settled POV. As for lying executives, they are immoral and only rational when viewed through the lens of their own selfishness.
- mandmandam 3y ago> You seem to feel fairly certain that humanity is "on a path" Look at a climate graph. That's the path I'm talking about. Look into the Anthropocene Extinction - that's us. We're walking that path; or more accurately, sleepwalking on it. It's not subjective whatsoever; there's mountains of hard data on this. Extrapolating that into teleology / philosophy / my worldview was entirely your invention and interpretation.
