@VesselOfSpirit Ahhh. People don't have principles, they have commitments. -
@preinfarction i don't understand -
@VesselOfSpirit We have cached conclusions, compartmentalized justifications, things to protect, no capacity for reason. The usual stuff. -
@preinfarction how does that relate to the good and not bad -
@VesselOfSpirit Failure to accept extreme implication of "not bad" principle. Deciding in terms of whether they presently want to do good. -
@preinfarction it's not an extreme implication of the principle. it's an implication of an extreme version of the principle -
@preinfarction "what is more important? food or water?" "water i guess." "oh so you value a lifetime of food less than a drop of water?" -
@VesselOfSpirit Hm. When I wrote them, I thought my examples were more like "Would you rather starve or dehydrate to death?" - 6 more replies
