    @RyanRSiemers But the actual intentions still matter (and you can often know them rather often).

        Chomsky's entire argument boils down to: "Hitler believed he was doing the right thing" Breathtaking relativism. @SamHarrisOrg @RyanRSiemers

        @SamHarrisOrg @RyanRSiemers but as u often pt out: horror of religion is that perps of atrocity sincerely believe their intentions r good.

        @SamHarrisOrg @RyanRSiemers Chomsky had a strong pt that "good" intentions are relative & subjective and thus largely irrelevant to outcome.

        @goosegill @SamHarrisOrg @RyanRSiemers "good intentions" are not subjective though. Can we not say ISIS's intentions are objectively bad?

        @born_a_joneser @SamHarrisOrg @RyanRSiemers they likely perceive their own "collateral damage" as a worthwhile cost for their utopia.

        @goosegill @SamHarrisOrg @RyanRSiemers just because they think they have good intentions doesn't mean those intentions are in fact good

        @goosegill @SamHarrisOrg @RyanRSiemers exactly, but intentions matter still. It is just a matter of determining what the true intentions are

        @born_a_joneser @SamHarrisOrg @RyanRSiemers what it comes down to is that SH too easily excuses USFP, because of his pet cause (religion).

        @SamHarrisOrg @RyanRSiemers Intentions do matter but they are not ALWAYS the most rational on deciding what is moral. ie. Utilitarianism.

        @SamHarrisOrg @RyanRSiemers IMO very likely Clinton was wagging the dog: Confessed to Lewinsky affair 8/17/98, bombed factory 8/20/98.

        @SamHarrisOrg @RyanRSiemers In some ordinary instances, actual intensions are easily decipherable, not in the case of politicians' rhetoric.

        @SamHarrisOrg if intention is the sticking point it is most always best to push it public, yes? @RyanRSiemers
