Pohl posted:Morality is probably the easiest thing in the world. Humans have built in empathy pathways, they are built into our biology; that is where our morality comes from. If you have to actually stop and think about whether or not something is moral, then you have some serious issues. But Hobbes said we needed Burger Kings and Dairy Queens to keep the rabble in check because of

Pohl posted:Where did the OP go? We were having such an interesting conversation and then he just vanished. Maybe he found out he was living on stolen land and is voluntarily returning it and all his former possessions to the rightful owners of that land?

Don't bother telling him to read Rawls or Marx or whatever the gently caress, just make him confront the fact that supporting property rights over human life is intuitively wrong and hosed up in the abstract. The great thing about the a priori bit is all you have to do is destroy the foundations in the abstract and the whole thing immediately implodes. By engaging woth the shell of pseudointellectual garbage they put out you legitimatize it. The assumptions it's based on are flatly wrong and this is apparant to all people who aren't sociopaths if you present it that way. Basically yeah, this. absolem, ask yourself why anyone who disagrees with you shouldn't.

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:Hobbes is basically the anti-libertarian so it'd be the weirdest typo. I 'unno dude, the line between advocating for Randian Supermen to be given full control over society because the drat dirty takers are inherently inferior, and claiming that humanity needs monarchs because plebes are just too stupid and selfish, is pretty fuzzy.
