The GOOD IS NOT YOU, Fixed Balls.
I don’t like you, turdslimethread.
You’re still a bad, sad person!
The saddest thing in my life, by very, very far, is your infatuation with me, and the way you handle that.
You could also just opt for staying out of my threads, slimey (a pun on your use of smileys)
Count my trolls bitches.
Even the dude that says he has had armies of trolls since birth is now my troll.
I got young trolls, old trolls, fat trolls and skinny trolls, i got girl trolls and crone trolls, i got dudes and grandpas trolling me, and godfather is lurking.
Thank you all. Youre welcome.
keep it coming, assholes.
lol
Well, we have certainly established here what some of the GOOD is NOT.
At one time, you did write beautifully and I mistakenly thought you had a brain, but no more. Now you are simply a sock puppet joke who needs psych. meds rather than street drugs.
Stop using my name and fuck off into the oblivion you crept out of. I chose Joker, not a whiny bitch like you, never you,
understand, 'Lil lady?
Jakob,
Didn’t someone in here mention that you are going to be a father?
If that is true, my congratulations to you and her.
My Jihad brings all the girls to the yard; damn right it’s better than yours; damn right it’s better than yours… And they’re all like ‘allah akbar! allah akbar! allah akbar!’
Good is this day.
Sorry for anyone who feels shitty in my presence and still has the urge to come seek me out. I will spare myself any further interactions with you, as I assure you I take as little joy in you as I would in witnessing some worms navigate some mud.
And that is precisely how it is - my trolls on ILP are simply worms, ploughing away their lives making small paths through the mass accumulated by greater forces (we, the Philosophers) so as to unwittingly carry some seeds and minerals hither and thither…
A good day to you too, worms. Enjoy ploughing through my work.
Oh, Duder, skater, surfer, DMT-houd, duderino,
The fact that you can’t discern Platos head from Zeus’ head is… amazing, and as a fact, enough standing by itself to illustrate your whole gigantic cosmic ignorance of culture, and by extension, the entire nihilist degeneracy of the West.
You are… the man, for your time and place.
Eventually all Dudebros grow up:
Eventually all Brat Princes become rightful rulers and Kings in their own right.
I see you relate to what I offered you.
Good.
God, Yahweh, the Father of Jesus, is the good.
People think, mistakingly, that good and evil do not exist, because they can’t examine them empirically, as in looking inside of a box and discovering them. But there are objective things about reality that are not merely physical.
Yes, some values are subjective, like one’s preference for vanilla ice-cream over chocolate, but then there are spiritual values that are objective, because God is the standard of what is good; He is the good.
For those who don’t believe that good and evil are objective, or that they are mere human constructs, just imaginations, I dare you to witness first hand the barbarities of war and child sex trafficking, and then reaffirm your stance that morality is a mere human contrivance.
It’s easy to say good and evil, as objective values, don’t exist, while you are sipping on your latte macchiato and reading Nietzsche in front of the fire place. It’s a whole different ball game when you actually have first hand experience to the spiritual reality of good and evil.
Am I appealing to emotion? Pavlovian responses?
Yes and no. I am appealing to emotion, as emotion is a form of intelligence. But, no, this is not pavlovian conditioning; this is a fundamental part of who we are and a fundamental aspect of reality itself.
For those interested in the Truth, check out my thread on True Christianity. And let go of all of your negative impressions of Christianity. Look at Jesus himself, not at how he has been misrepresented by supposed followers throughout the past and today. Seek him in prayer, heart-felt prayer. Jesus bless you all.
If the things you mention were objectively evil (or more relevantly, objectively not-Good), then do you think people would still be capable of wanting to do these things?
I can say it is clearly objectively evil to draw foie gras from a live birds innards, just as you can say it is objectively evil to traffic children for sex. But this doesn’t help us prevent it, as it is only an opinion, and opinions aren’t workable.
To do the work of your god, it seems you would have to be effective in having people comply with your standards. You would have to exert force, might, even if it may be a spiritual force.
This is the reason Dante was commissioned (I suppose) to create a really scary notion of hell.
As soon as “good” or “evil” are defined, things automatically, objectively fall into those categories. Since all words have at least one inherent definition assigned by the user, the only way to avoid objective good and evil is to never allow those words to be used.

Back to philosophy:
The Good as a notion must be derived from the capacity to value.
Not simply in the sense that the judgment of what is Good is a valuation, but much further down the line of investigation into phenomenology - we must state that the Good is the capacity to evaluate and praise existence as good.
The good is that which establishes “good” vs “bad” as a measure of relative existence-to-itself. Good is what can endure itself with open eyes, bad is that which must make sure its own eyes, as well as those of the rest of the world, are closed.
Eyes, or nostrils.
Is there a connection between morality and one’s psychological state of good health?
Plato and Aristotle, said that there is a close relationship between moral goodness and a healthy mind. Health, beauty and well being are connected to virtue and those who are immoral will be unfulfilled and physically unwell. Immanuel Kant said one should be guided by the universal moral law coupled with the capacity to reason and a good character, which basically means you are a ‘good and moral person to begin with’. Are these opinions too austere, with no room for erring on the ‘wrong’ side of the law, whether it be man’s or God’s? If faced with the dilemma of how to treat others we undoubtedly would turn to ethics when questioned on how to deal with a situation, but when it comes to treating ourselves what do we do. If we are individuals we have to decide for ourselves. Who can decide for you, if you can’t decide for yourself. How many people do you know that you would trust to do this? I know of none. I am convinced there are far too many who really do not know how to treat themselves kindly. The old saying, do what you want, but do not hurt others. Which of the two is moral philosophy? It surely cannot be bad if our wants are not a factor in what is good. I assume there is goodness in humanity but this goodness is becoming increasingly more difficult to be found.
It seems to me we may all have different perceptions of “what is the good” and if this is so, the question therefore, is unanswerable to everyone’s satisfaction.
