Yes but if humanity is not saved then what will become of it? Death for sure, but there are those who wish for a different outcome. Is it not good to try to save humanity for the sake of the few true individuals that shape and change the world and who help us to reach new heights? Some don't seek any kind of power from saving the world. No position of higher hierarchy. But it makes you wonder though. If humanity doesn't seek to improve itself why should we just accept that? Should't there be something or someone to shove humanity to the "right" direction? If we as individuals seek to save our species from its fate because as it happens we are also humans, is it wrong if we do it in a manner that most humans of "society" won't understand?

They are using the Hegelian Dialectic to achieve their goals (problem, reaction, solution). And as Catechism 2188 shows, part of their solution for society's problems is a Sunday law.

And Trump's latest appointment to the Supreme Court (Amy Barrett) is also Catholic. The Papacy is looking to implement their social teaching called "the common good." It's ideology is Collectivist in nature and is opposed to the American concept of Individualism.

"'For the greater good': the phrase that always precedes the greatest evil." --Jakub Bozydar Wisniewski

[@doger944]

The "greater good" is such a bizzare concept when you think about it. Like, "If we do all these imorral actions we'll end up being moral" But so many people treat it as a given thing.

[@thenonexistinghero]

It is weird. Since when do your individual actions lead to a better society for others? Take Asian culture, for example. > Individual person loves to walk around with short skirts. > Doesn't do that because it may bother some others. > Becomes less happy as a result of restricting herself. > She also does this with many things she likes, holding herself back with hundreds of little things. > Every single person is pretty much the same. They all sacrifice their own happiness so everyone else can be happier. But since everyone else does the same, the result is that no one is happier in the end. In the end the only ones benefitting from this are those with a higher status/authority. If they bother someone, others won't speak back since it reflects badly on them. And others don't bother them since it also reflects badly on them. And if for some reason you're picked as a victim to bully... you'll just have to endure since there's nothing else you can do to make the situation better and nothing anyone will do for you.

[@michaeljensen4650]

Indeed. Some of us have learned to love our pitiful condition and call it freedom. We are so easily bribed. This a brilliant presentation there seems to be very few people speaking about these ideas. These important concepts have been argued by some the the worlds greatest minds since the time of the Greeks and the dawn of our earliest civilizations. I would pose a question. What makes a family? Is it merely our common blood or the bond of love, trust, respect and mutuality. As members of families do we empower, protect, encourage, reciprocate, and care for one another. These are actions and behaviors not merely ideals. It is the natural desire for these values that keeps a family strong and thriving. If my family is greedy envious and ruthless, my neighbors untrustworthy and my government corrupt could I truly call my fellow citizens friend. Could I then extol the virtues of my country and burden under the illusion of being part of a society. What makes a society, what is the mark of a true society.

I'll play devil's advocate here. The problem with many of the forms of collectivism mentioned here is that it is implemented on such a large scale that participation in the "collective" is involuntary. There is such a great difference between voluntary and involuntary collectivism. I played in bands when I was younger, and a remarkable thing about a band is that the group can be greater than the "sum" of the individuals that make up the group. As individuals, the members may seem unexceptional, but in the right combination there is this this strange synergy that happens and something "emerges" that is greater than the individuals in isolation. That's just something to consider.

Collectivist Ideas when you think about it at first sounds all good, but after thinking for 15 seconds it becomes incredibly murderous.

[@BenSchillaci]

jon deery There are no kinds of individualism hence the term individualism. Therefore there can be no tyrannical individualism because it represents the freedom of the individual to act in accordance with their own principles and judgement of right and wrong accordingly. In no way does individualism suggest that my freedom infringes on your freedom, that would mean my freedom is your slavery. Individualism ensures that we all live our own lives free to do as we see fit, protected from such authoritarianism.

[@BenSchillaci]

jon deery Another thing about individualism that’s so great is you don’t throw ideas out based on the idea of them being held to idealogical headings like socialism. We can simply hold Orwell’s ideas as Orwell’s and not pawn them off because of group affiliation. That sort of dismissive tactic is representative of collectivism. Looking at them as being Orwell’s we don’t end up painting all of his ideas or those of the perceived group in some monotonous wash. Aka the forest is nothing but an abstraction, there are only individual plants and trees and they appear as a group, just as we view animals in this way. Really there are differences in personality even between animals but that we see them as representative of an entire species it can be easy to mistake them all as looking and behaving more or less the same.

There’s an issue here that needs to be addressed. Collectivism can certainly lead to injustice against the individual human, it allows for totalitarianism for sure. The idea that collectivism is based on the unattainable abstraction of “society” and is, therefore a fallacious idea, makes sense. However, the principle of individualism working as long as the individual does not harm another is also unattainable. It is not possible that all individuals see all individuals as equal. This idea is predicated on the illusion that we actually have our best intentions and the best intentions of others in mind. We could even deceive ourselves as much as we could deceive others. So yes, collectivism can lead to injustice against the individual, but individualism can also lead to injustice against the individual and their neighbor. Both extremes do not work at all. The humanistic glorification of the individual, where the individual becomes a” god”, is just as detrimental to humanity as the collectivist glorification of the state, where the state becomes a “god”.

You’re de-emphasizing the destructive history of collectivism and punctuating the possibility for individualism to turn into collectivism (centralized power controlling the many individuals.) And that’s the whole point I’ve been making in these comment threads, that when individualism becomes extreme we’ve met collectivism and therefore there is no such thing as extreme individualism. As I’ve stated on other threads, using the word extreme and individualism together is euphemistic double speak for collectivism. There’s no such thing! They are not on a spectrum of freedom because freedom doesn’t operate on a spectrum. Putting freedom on a spectrum leads to another case of euphemistic double speak. The words conditional freedom together actually mean slavery.

[@BenSchillaci]

As for all individuals being equal, no they are not and that’s the cornerstone of Individualism: all individuals are not equal or not mere copies of each other and therefore should be treated as case by case individuals. All people with black hair aren’t disabled and all people with blue eyes aren’t abusive parents. It’s not about intentions. For ‘the greater good’ is the philosophy of well intentioned Collectivism. Putting them together destroys the true meaning of only one of them and it’s Individualism that gets swallowed by Collectivism.
