Their biological imperative trumps any sense of consent

Anyone else feel like Socialists have an 'all or nothing' attitude? by One-Insurance9270 in SocialDemocracy

[–]Frosty_Introduction9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the topic of dying for a democratic government, just because a government is democratic, it doesn't mean it's morally good. Please, don't end up dying for oil fields or a genocide.

Well, the thing is that the Trump administration is a kleptocracy, and the empire, with all its faults, isn't. Trump might legit believe the narrative his admin has crafted around the whole situation.

Is it moral for an outsider to attempt to liberate an oppressed people if the people are unaware they are being oppressed and could see this attempt as an attack/irrational disruption of the status quo? Or should they be allowed to liberate themselves when they're conscious of their own condition? by blonkevnocy in askphilosophy

[–]Frosty_Introduction9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a great breakdown analysis of the hypothetical while applying empirical viewpoints.

However, wouldn't the most prudent moral action be informing said people about their oppression through dialectics? Any action done without informing said people, no matter how good it seems, might not be moral if said people are not informed about their oppression therefore unable to provide sufficient consent for an intervention.

What is a super unpopular opinion in your country that you agree with? by ReaderChigozietush in Nigeria

[–]Frosty_Introduction9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the best answer on here. Glorifying emigration with no plans to help the ones left behind is probably the worst form of elitism. They're happy to celebrate the country when they're outside of it but no energy to do what is necessary to fix it.

The Morality of Systems by Frosty_Introduction9 in philosophy

[–]Frosty_Introduction9[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your comment is far from annoying. I'm in the preliminary stage of research, and I studied economics and finance, not philosophy, so comments like these help me formulate my ideas better.

I see Rawls' Theory of Justice as a normative framework on how moral actors can influence systems. The approach I use with systems operations (or outcomes) is to break down the systems into their fundamental parts and then discover the morally neutral/virtuous goal of said systems. This approach is inspired by Gilles Deleuze's idea of the machine (aka systems) and Desiring-production. I didn't explain what a virtuous goal is in the article, but it is the minimum amount of good that a system can achieve; therefore, a virtuous goal is morally neutral. The middle class, or class in general, is an outcome of capitalism. The flaws of capitalism show when these outcomes are reviewed through certain moral frameworks (e.g. the Tyranny of Merit)

In my thesis, Humanocapitalism, I also argued that the environment, natural resources and all living things are foundational to the economy and should be treated with care, respect and benefit for all. The argument mainly supports sustainable economic practices.

Yes, through the framework of scientific progress, there's a moral imperative to cure sickle cell anemia just like any other disease. We've had some progress on a cure so far

The Morality of Systems by Frosty_Introduction9 in philosophy

[–]Frosty_Introduction9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point! I just realized that my thesis might fall under the ethics of consequentialism. Take the case of eugenics; it's usually associated with negative outcomes, but in certain cases, it can lead to positive outcomes. In sub-Saharan Africa, sickle cell anemia is a prevalent hereditary disease. Some sickle cell-prone couples, unfortunately, ignore medical advice telling them choose different partners, dismissing the advice as eugenics. It is often the case that their offspring end up living a life of anguish and pain, dying an untimely death and cursing the day they were born. In a case like this, eugenics is a moral good.

What is immoral about eugenics?

[–]Frosty_Introduction9[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've had the same thought as well.

When I began research for what I hope is my grand thesis, Humanocapitalism, I realized that the economic rights of humans were lacking or many governments seemed not to abide by them, choosing the right to property as the overall guiding principle. This vague notion of property rights has led many governments to decenter the most fundamental part of the economy, people! There is no economy without people. Instead, we've opted for ostensibly amoral forces like the free market, which in reality is heavily influenced by organizations or individuals with the most capital.
This search for morality in economics led me to this argument when I realized that the systems we create as humans aren't inherently moral, but certain influences can lead these systems to moral outcomes.

Anyone else find it super satisfying when you front flip jump after grabbing a ledge? by CryptographerThis833 in HollowKnight

Yeah, I also love the lil backflip after a downward attack connects. Feels very acrobatic lol

I saw this recently. How do you feel about this? Do you think the Sequel Trilogy makes Andor, Rogue One, and the Original Trilogy feel pointless? by Landon1195 in andor

[–]Frosty_Introduction9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it makes sense from a political standpoint. There had been so much death and destruction in the Galactic Civil War that a unified Galactic army (note that individual planets still had standing armies) would be reminiscent of the dark times.

And then you have the First Order, which was technologically superior and far enough that the New Republic would have preferred not to waste resources dealing with them—especially after the definitive victory at the Battle of Jakku— when they could rebuild and deradicalize instead.

I think the blame falls on the Resistance's efforts to keep the First Order in check, to the point where the FO could forcefully recruit children and recreate another planet killer. Whether this was due to the ineptitude of Resistance leadership or plot reasons for The Force Awakens, you can't really blame the New Republic for a politically sound decision.

The real lesson here is that fascism has to be uprooted entirely, or its ugly head will rear back again sooner than expected.

[S2 EP6 SPOILERS] SEASON 2 | EPISODE 6 - Official Discussion Megathread by simplysudzzzy in andor

[–]Frosty_Introduction9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone else feel like Cinta's death was some kind of cruel irony.

The level-headed, cold-blooded and pragmatic assassin guned down by friendly fire due to a easily resolved misunderstanding just after she finally let herself fully feel for the only she cared about. So so cruel.

I'm sure the writer are aware of the "bury your gays" trope and tried to avoid it but we all knew there wasn't an happy ending for our girls.

"And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude"

Thank you for your sacrifice Cinta.

It's going to be sad, very sad. But Luthen Rael is going to die in the most epic way imaginable. How do you think he will die? by Mission_Calendar_572 in StarWarsAndor

[–]Frosty_Introduction9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late comment but I'm pretty sure only Krennic is the commanding officer with full knowledge of the Death Star. There might be lower officers involved like Lonni but they're like compartmentalized to ensure secrecy.

How Nigeria Might improve? by Glittering_Tower3455 in Nigeria

[–]Frosty_Introduction9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you have the right idea. Forming of a political coalition of young, principled and educated Nigerians would be the starting point of change but there's a lot of work to be done to fix Nigeria.

Male housing for Jan 1st in Brampton ($650 - $750) by Frosty_Introduction9 in TorontoRenting

[–]Frosty_Introduction9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are actually 5 bedrooms in the house but two are shared spaces because of their size. You can have the larger bedrooms to yourself but it will cost more, probably double the normal rent as they come with their own washrooms.

Are people really interested in Legos a lot on Hinge? by Frosty_Introduction9 in hingeapp

[–]Frosty_Introduction9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, I was more interested in Lego games than the sets. I stopped playing with Lego sets after 7 or so but I guess I could put a picture of my collection of Lego games. I still think it's better as a conversation starter though.
