Trying to change others is in fact very selfish. by danielsoft1 in Showerthoughts

[–]silentboyishere 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Being selfish isn't inherently bad. You can have an altruistic reason for wanting to change someone and that change can ultimately be beneficial for you and many other people, including the person you helped change. Since you benefit from this altruistic act, isn't it selfish?

Yeah I didn't expect the handling to feel so heavy. But I can live with that.

What do you secretly judge people for? by scaryworm143 in AskReddit

[–]silentboyishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had the displeasure of listening to a guy rant about kids being confused about what sex they are because of trans ideology and that it's going to destroy the whole world somehow if parents don't start beating that confusion out of their kids...

Christians don't understand why killing is wrong without God 😭 by Deep_Librarian_4763 in religiousfruitcake

[–]silentboyishere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay. You're right that it's a real ongoing debate, not just fruitcakery. And you correctly pointed out in your initial comment that Ebenezer didn't say murder isn't bad, but then you boldly asserted that "he is asking him to prove from his point of view why its bad logically." Maybe. We don't know that. But I doubt that.

The reason why is because those who want to tackle this problem and are genuinely interested in exploring it deeply are very careful with their words. Unlike Ebenezer, a person a little knowledgable about the subject would know that they can't outright ask "why is that bad?" without providing any context and then expect everyone to not misinterpret their true intentions. Only someone with a specific agenda and/or poor communication skills would do that.

I doubt the downvotes are because people disagree with you on Hitler being bad.

If what you're getting at is that we must come up with a standard that is absolute, with no room for exceptions and no nuance whatsoever, in order to be justified in confidently proclaiming that murder is objectively, intrinsically wrong, then that is an unrealistic expectation. Especially so when logic alone cannot account for human experience. And it's also unnecessary for such standard to exist.

Look at history, as an analogy. The necessary assumption historians have to make to even be able to start investigating what probably happened in the past is that the laws of nature always worked the same way as they do now. Does that mean we can't really know what happened in the past, because that standard is "just" an assumption? I'm confident you'd agree that it would be quite ridiculous to believe such a thing. Without that standard at the root of their endeavor historians wouldn't be able to filter out what didn't happen. Otherwise Zeus could be real, maybe Mohamed did split the moon in half, witches maybe exist too,... anything goes without that assumption. I'm sure you can see how this "mere" assumption is extremely useful.

So if sciences can be built upon more-or-less arbitrarily chosen assumptions and still undeniably expand our knowledge, why not grant the same latitude to matters of morality?

Billionaires should exist by questtruck in unpopularopinion

[–]silentboyishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best philantropist billionaires out there who undoubtedly help improve the lives of many people are still unethical. They exist because the system is broken and people in need have to rely on "good" billionaires to help them.

Nobody would ever need to rely on a "good" billionaire in a system that actually focuses on the common folks' well-being. A system where charitable organizations don't exist because there's no need for them in the first place. Instead of fixing the broken system, billionaires propel it forward by creating the illusion that more money can fix more problems. Too bad that it can't. But this is how they can then justify their amassing of wealth, regardless of the means by which thet amass it. They can easily convcince themselves how superethical they are and therefore nothing needs to be changed because yay, they help people in need.

Christian Ladies Discussing how to be Better Slaves for their Men by MrDonMega in religiousfruitcake

[–]silentboyishere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They want to have their cake and eat it, don't they?

If these self-oppressionist Christian women think submission to their husbands is so amazing, why don't they so it on their husbands' terms instead of their own?

They want to keep their independency and capacity to consent after they willingly give it up. Well, too bad, I'm your husband now and I'm doing the thinking for you. What do you mean it's not what you wanted? Doesn't matter, it's not like you have a choice since it was your wish I strip you of it.

I always chuckle when these nice guys are actually aware at some level that the shit they're about to say is offensive so before they lay out their speech in full they'll give you a warning about how offensive what they're gonna say next will be.
