Silhouette is accurate.
Ideals of moral agency and personal responsibility, leading to the “sense of self” people have within their Identity, are just that …ideals. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Morality and agency are processes of power. I agree with Nietzsche and the Nietzscheans on this point. Few people are capable, or willing, to take responsibility over actions and events in life. It’s arguable about who caused what and why. Does a soldier following orders act on his own volition, or the volition of another? That’s what I mean by Innocence, and Privilege. People like to think they’re not responsible for the actions and events they cause. Bob you can relate to this with your little Nazi analogy. Who is responsible for the Holocaust? The Nazis? Or the Jews? It can very much go either way. Blame is another thing. Responsibility is yet another.
But without power, can you really “take” responsibility for anything? No, you can’t. Within society, children and teenagers are perceived as powerless, devoid of personal responsibility, devoid of agency. The same can be applied to Blacks, or Women. Some people are assigned different powers (moral agency) than others. In other words, society, people in general, expect a lot of some people (evil white men) and little of others (everybody else).
Until you delve into these concepts, quite frankly, yes you and others here are complete philosophical amateurs.
And this is more of a children’s lesson than anything else.
I’m read to delve deep, anytime. I like that Silhouette here can remark on the deeper topics, which nobody else really is. Including Pandora. Pandora merely dodges the big points over and over and over again. It’s …boring after awhile. And it doesn’t make for good conversation, which I’m confident we can all agree on.
Who’s fault is this …mine? Or hers?
