- einhverfr 13y agoBut is your view that small tribal societies without a professional judiciary are necessarily violating human rights for lack of a professional judiciary or even clear code of laws?
- oleganza 13y agoI don't hold people responsible for their actions until they've been exposed to an argument against them. E.g. ancient doctor is not responsible for not using antibiotics. But if he does not use them when he knows about them (and they are accessible), then he is responsible.
- einhverfr 13y agoDoesn't that mean though that it is our moral imperative to modernize all traditional peoples in the world? Under that argument, shouldn't indigenous peoples be discriminated against to encourage them to modernize?
- oleganza 13y agoI don't believe in moral imperatives. I simply try to teach people things I understand when they are willing to listen. I'm not obliged to do that. They are not obliged to listen. But if it happens that I tell you arguments why government is evil, I will hold you responsible if you simply disagree without a convincing counter-argument. So we could have been friends before, but after could be not anymore.
