@aloilmokka Yaoguang entire point was that the hunt is not the same as the destruction, you read it yourself, saying they are hot headed is just odd when they are known as a silent aeon
It’s like when a hunter silently hunts a deer, nobody calls that hot headed
@aloilmokka Having temperance and self discipline is the opposite of that
A hot-headed person is decisive because they don't think.
A temperate person is decisive because they have thought they have fully weighed the options, committed to a path, and refuse to waste time wavering
@blueraine21@Path_Space The flame on him are mostly because he got the wrong date though, and some fairly insignificant info, which he already said was STC
The guy is still fairly reliable
@SilverPencilBox@Awk20000 Yeah I think the real issue is that, most who says this aren’t actually joking, they’re mocking
There’s a faint line between mocking and joking, and people often hide behind “joking” to justify mocking someone or pretend like they don’t mean it
@IEzerebo You sound sarcastic
Harm is bad, it’s as simple as “a broken leg is worse than a normal healthy leg”
Or as simple as it’s better to have allies than enemies, you don’t ask “why is it better to have allies, why not enemies” that’s stupid
And
@IEzerebo Again if it’s about where to draw the line, it’s an entirely different topic, that's applied ethics the practical question of how we apply the standard in specific cases
Also
@IEzerebo Also “might makes right” is a description of what happened, not a prescription of what's correct. History also said the earth was flat and that kings had divine right. Might made those “right” too until people used reason and evidence to prove them wrong
@IEzerebo Again it’s called empathy, you can unconsciously imagine if what happened to the other person happened to you too
You will feel uncomfortable, and decide for yourself that it is wrong to do that to others as you yourself don’t want things happening to you too
@IEzerebo You're inventing a hypothetical person who eats people just because. That person doesn't exist. When people eat people without starvation or ritual, we call them psychopaths
Which is again, an outlier because nobody goes around eating people for fun unless they’re one
@IEzerebo 😐
that's a total subject change. We were talking about whether empathy is a biological norm or a preference. You conceded it exists.
Abortion is a completely different debate with different ethical considerations
