This feels like it belongs on /r/iamverysmart.
Most people don't argue within moral frameworks. Most people don't live logic-based lives. Most people prefer happiness to correctness, peace to progress, and quietude to justice. This is a very difficult thing, and not a very good thing, for those who want change.
- sjfjsjdjwvwvc 3y agoI would argue it is a very good thing. Most “bad” things historically have been created by those clamouring for progress and justice. Like Bukowski said those who preach peace do not have peace beware the preachers beware the knowers beware those who are always reading books I would extend it as those who preach justice are not just those who preach rationality are not rational those who preach correctness are not right And those who preach progress are against change /edited for readability
- TOMDM 3y agoEvery new good or bad thing is by definition a change.
- trgn 3y agoHobbes called it. Fully coming to terms with the downstream implications of this assessment, which Hobbes also did, is less palatable.
- wait_a_minute 3y ago> Most people don't argue within moral frameworks. Most people don't live logic-based lives. Yes they do. You may contest aspects of the foundation of their logical and moral framework of choice, but most people on earth adhere to a moral or religious framework. Those are logic-based and that is what apologetics and natural theology and philosophy are for.
