GMO itself might not be bad thing, but the way its control by cooperation is the real threat. farmers used their former own previous year yeild to plant a new crop, but with GMO every year they most buy seeds from the cooperation, imagine in near future when most of natural seeds has been replaced GMO seeds and they cooperation reduce to sell their seed to particular group of people or country. just like your beloved american workup and place sanction on Iran, Sudan, china e.tc if they place those saction on seed export to e,g zimbabwe what will people from those country cultivate?

[@patstevenswhohatesbuttermi5861]

People say "Batman doesn't have any superpowers," but I once heard someone say that's incorrect--in a roundabout way. He has the power of time travel by virtue of having more money than a person could possibly accumulate or spend in a lifetime. In the time that others spend working just to meet their basic needs, if they can meet them this way at all, Wayne/Batman can do combat training, have gadgets made and tested, and prowl the city in search of crime to fight. If time is money, having a lot of money also means you have a lot of time. That said, Bruce Wayne/Batman is notoriously unhappy. This is explained by his parents having been killed and his endless quest for (what he sees as) justice always being out of reach. Studies have shown that money has diminishing returns at a certain point for buying happiness if you define it materially. Once your basic needs are met and you can provide for your family and set up a comfortable retirement, anything beyond that isn't going to bring much more satisfaction, and can even have a reverse effect. And of course money can't fully eliminate the pain of the loss of loved ones or seeing the injustices of the world if you have any empathy. But it can certainly make them more bearable.

I believe morality is subjective to one’s self.

The way computers are 1s and 0s I think there is a basic principle the underlys us and everything else. I think of morality like a train that you can be a passenger on. You don’t understand every part of the train and you don’t control where its goes but you can surely hop on board

Objective universal morality is not difficult, and it always begins with the self, not a group. In essence it is to do unto others what one would have done unto themselves, AND to NOT do unto others what one would NOT have done unto themselves. When speaking of universal objective morality, concepts such as culture, society, government, country and religion have no place in the discussion as they are neither universal, objective or moral.

Religion is unethical. You are simultaneously saying "I don't believe in scientific facts." And "I rather live in a fantasy world than face my own mortality." Religion has only brought pain and suffering to the world. Anyone who tells you otherwise is ignorant or lying. Nearly every major war throughout history has been caused by religious leaders exploiting the masses. My favorite quote is one my father said to me when I was a teenager. He said, "Surely your religion is the right one because if you were born in India, you would still be a Christian." He was implying the concept of proximity. Had a Christian been born in India, they would be just as certain of their faith in Hindu. Thus, your religious beliefs are just a product of where you are born. Christianity,Buddhism,Islamic faiths, and all the other religions are just competing companies trying to recruit you for their own gain.

[@archangelarielle262]

You're wrong, even if there were a God, morality would still be subjective. It's true, as an atheist/ moral non-cognitivist I cannot say what is objectively wrong (because it's not truth apt), but neither can a theist. Even if there is a God who dictates morality to us, it is still not stance independent, because a) God is a subject and B) there is no objective non-circular reason why we ought to follow his moral system. Theist use a more practical argument; "if you don't objectivise morality, then you have no basis on which to say one particular action is wrong and another one is right". And I agree to an extent, that you can't really make any argument for why one action is right, and one action is wrong. But that doesn't mean you can't make a judgment about the rightness or wrongness of particular actions. Because I believe moral judgemental are ultimately based in moral intuition, it's a non-rational intuition (I don't mean irrational, nor anti-rational, I mean it's something that is separate from reason). And ultimately if you're going convince somebody not to do something that you believe is wrong, you're going to need more than just an argument. Morality can be accounted for empirically. Accounting for it simply means explaining why it exists. You don’t want us to account for morality, you want us to justify morality. I don’t believe that there can be any ultimate, objective, non-circular justification for morality, even if there is a god who dictates that morality. Even if there is a god who gives us moral prescriptions, what is the objective reason we ought to follow them? Is it because God says to? That is pretty circular. Is it because of some principle that ultimately is not based in God? If there is such a principle, then there can be at least one moral principle which does not depend on a god. The empirical sciences can absolutely tell you it’s wrong by the way I define “wrong”. When I say something is wrong, I mean that I will behave in such a way to oppose it. You can empirically test this by observing my behaviour. I don’t say that anything “ought not exist.” I say slavery is wrong, by which I mean I cannot tolerate it, but I don’t think that saying it “ought not exist” has any objective meaning. Even if you believe that it ought not exist because God says so (which he doesn’t, by the way) that is still circular, because the answer to the question “why ought we do what God says” will in one way or another amount to “because God says so.” Evidence of a metaphysical or theological nature still can’t justify “ought” statements. Even if there is a god that makes prescriptions, it simply does not follow that anyone ought to obey them. This is not a logical inference. Also, if moral statements are contingent upon potential states of affairs, you can’t say that I “ought” to oppose gay marriage, for example, because my conscience won’t allow me to do that. Another argument that theists use in favour of objective morality, is that God created the universe, he laid down certain rules, therefore they are objective. Let's say that there is a god, and he did create the universe with specific rules. Why does that make them objective? If God created the universe, and put rules in that universe, why objectively ought we follow them? Then sometimes they'll say, "well, because if you don't follow them, he'll send you to hell". But then you have to ask, why objectively ought I be concerned with going to hell? Well, because you'll suffer for all of eternity, and I think that doesn't sound very nice, I don't like the idea of that, but why objectively ought I not like the idea of that? Why objectively ought I be concerned about my own suffering? Also, this does not really make morality objective, because what does objective mean? Something is objective if its existence is independent of conscious. Something is subjective if insofar as its existence is dependent on consciousness. Something is objective only insofar as it could continue to exist even if all consciousness in the universe were eliminated. Now if we think of God, as a conscious mind, then morality comes from that consciousness, which is subjective. Why ought we obey God’s commands? “Because one of Gods commands is to obey God’s commands = Because we ought to obey God’s commands!” Which is circular. Even if there were an objective morality, it is not body armour. It achieves nothing. That is just the brutal reality. Fundamentally, every person’s behaviour boils down to doing what they want or don't want to do in the light of consequences they expect to create from their actions, whether those consequences are physical; going to jail, psychological; guilt, spiritual; going to hell. This is a scary thing to realize. That everyone's around us is really just doing whatever they want. It's simply just good fortune that most of the people around us happen to want similar things. This realization does kind of feel like having the floor fall from under you, but that's just the reality of human behaviour. In practice, we are all forward-thinking hedonistic consequentialist. This may not be the right way for humans to behave, it may not be how we should behave, according to any particular moral framework. But this is the only way we can behave. This is just how people are, regardless of your beliefs or religion. This just leads you to Euthyphro's “Trilemma”; Does God command something because it is good or is something good because God commands it? If God, commands something because it is good. He is appealing to a higher standard, which would make the standard of morality external to him. If something is good because God commands it, morality is subject to God’s arbitrary preference, and would make morality subjective. Apologists answer the dilemma with a third option; goodness is God's nature. It's not something he creates or appeals to, it's something he is, therefore not external or subjective. It's not actually a third option at all. The basic Euthyphro problem arises again just in different terms; does God have control over his nature, or does God's nature have control over him? Could God alter his nature if he chose to, or is his nature unalterable? If we choose the first option, God decides his nature and in so doing, he's deciding what is good and what is not, making morality arbitrary and subjective. Based solely on the caprice of how God decides to choose his nature. If we choose the second option; that God has no control over his nature. Set aside the problem that this is problematic for the claim ‘God is Omnipotent’. If we choose that option, then something other than God, is dictating what God's nature is, ultimately making this external force independent from God, and the true ground of morality. God is just the unnecessary arbiter. This is ignoring the fact, that Yahweh committed/ commanded 7 genocides/ infanticide, condoned slavery, rape, homophobia, sexism and racism etc. Not to mention condemns people to eternal suffering for simply, not knowing he exists, despite the fact he knows what it would take to convince and save everyone, and decides not to. And ignoring, that free will is incoherent under any definition. As things are either determined by prior cause (cause and effect), or random (quantum indeterminacy)/ a mixture of both, in either way, we do not control. E.g., He knew everything about Satan and what that specific arrangement of particles (it doesn't matter he's nonmaterial, but whatever he is) called "Satan" would do before he created him, and still decided to make Satan the specific way he was which resulted in him doing exactly what he did. You cannot blame a car for being faulty, if an engineer beforehand purposely created a faulty car, knowing he could have done otherwise. Therefore, God knew and purposely designed Satan to rebel, everything is Gods fault, including evil. God could have altered him so he wouldn't rebel. He's omnipotent so he could have, and omnibenevolent so would have. But he didn't, therefore God wanted Satan to rebel. Therefore, God is responsible for all suffering and is malevolent. And if every variant of Satan was “freely” evil regardless of how you designed him, then God shouldn't have created Satan to begin with. There were angels like Michael Demiurges that knew and did not rebel that he could have replaced him with or just leave blank.

[@mjfraser04]

The biggest moral dilemma is creating a life/having kids. Most people will argue that having kids is the main purpose of life and no life goal should be without kids in it. Then most if not all of those same people will preach about not being selfish and to consider other's before making a decision that will directly involve another person. Yet, when unpacked it becomes apparent that by definition, brining a life into existence is once again by definition, one of the most selfish things a human can do. Ask someone WHY they have or want kids and 99.9% of the time their response will begin with "I want...". A person is quite literally gambling on another person's life (the life to be created) for something that THEY want. It is somewhat of a paradox to a create a life (which is for selfish reasons as mentioned above) juxtaposed with the required SELFLESSNESS to raise that child and to deal with any handicap it was born with due to the selfish act of creating life for ones own wants and desires.

[@juansanders-ck1ol]

What? This don’t make no sense. What was the point of evolving to reproduction if it was a selfish act?

[@gizmogremlin1872]

By this logic if someone said they "want" to dedicate their life to helping others you would consider their acts of helping others to be strictly selfish. To this logic the only way one could be considered selfless would be to help others against their will. Basically you are only considering selflessness to be fufuling compelled obligations rather than any real kindness.

[@mjfraser04]

@@gizmogremlin1872 Yes, you are correct. What you’re referring to is altruism. But I don’t think altruism exists. We are ALL selfish. It is how we are able to stay alive. But there are degrees of selfishness. And that degree is dependent on how many victims and the type of victimization being done. In your example of “by using this logic” you claim that helping others because someone wants to is selfish, and you’d be correct. Like I said, everything we do is because we want to to some degree and in some fashion we benefit. But by helping others it’s a no lose type of “selfishness”. All parties involve benefit. No victims. Now let’s look at creating sentient life (humans). Existence comes with terrors, pain, sorrow, and at the end is death (usually unpleasant and painful). So you are creating victims and sentencing them to a lifetime of pain and misery. You can say, “yeah but what about all the good times?”. The good times are only good and are in proportion to the bad. You can’t have good without bad, but you can have bad without good. If you truly care about this subject and idea look into Antinatlism. Furthermore, a person is gambling when they bring life into existence. They don’t know the genetic diseases or abnormalities they are passing down. They don’t know the psychological state of the life they are creating. And they can’t control the world they are bringing them into. What makes it supremely selfish they are gambling on someone else’s life for their own “want”. And for what? So they can have a family? So they can love and be loved? Because they want a “mini me”? A legacy? There is no selfless reason to bring life into existence. Now, caring for and raising a life has many elements of a type of selfLESSnes. But creating life is only selfish. By definition. Make sense?

[@gizmogremlin1872]

@@mjfraser04 Only really need to focus on one section of what you said here. "But you can have bad without good" If there is no good to compare the bad to then there wouldn't necessarily be any knowing of the bad. If you lived in near constant extreme pain for instance then any moments of less pain would be comparatively good and a relief. To this good and bad are generally quite relative but you saying that you can have bad without good is strictly subjective and frankly just a pessimistic veiw point. I for instance have many aches and pains, various sorrows and troubles and at times have gone through depression and have experienced much anger and hatred in my time but I basically can't complain about my overall life. I have met people who upon describing large portions of their life I would find their life to be far more stressful, painful, and so own than my own but have a better outlook on their own life than I seem to have on mine. I have likewise known people that seem to have a remarkably charmed life compared to mine but appear to be miserable. Yes in some ways what you said can make some sense in some ways but it's mostly still just illogical thinking. Doing something good for someone else might also make you feel good but that doesn't necessarily make it a selfish act, I for instance do at times do good things for others without that making me feel good, some times it's just a drive to do what...seems like the right thing to do. Yes any bad that happens in one's life could potentially be considered the fault of the parents but but for many life itself is a gift even if the majority of the experience in that life are arguably bad as even having a life to experience is a wonder in itself (not necessarily my veiw per say) In short you are generally focusing on the bad and putting more emphasis on that bad. The end result of life not procreating would be no life at all and on one hand you might conclude that would result in a more neutral position of no good or bad for most the idea of no life at all would be more of a negative (yes definitely a subjective thing mostly) but frankly without life to experience the good or bad of this universe...what's the darn point? And why would and endless void be in any way good with no one to be conscience of it?

Anti-natalism is edgy and cringe. Ask people if they are glad to be alive, the vast majority will say yes. Life may be suffering, but existence is a gift. If you're worried about the welfare of a child, be an adult and properly care for it ffs.

5:22 Just because many are doing something, doesn't make that thing good. Many people would be happier if more options were available, not just by being in a different environment. Also, people must be mature with information to even be able to pick the option that best suits them. The modern fight for "rights" does not help with that, even though in the past it did

There is so such things as playing god. We don’t even know if there is even a god. It shouldn’t even be called playing god. It is our responsibility as humans to create better living conditions for ourselves which is why we have the ability to do these things for ourselves. That’s why we are able to do these things. The things we we want to do and are able to do, we do them to the best we can. But there are some things that we will never be able be able to Do and we won’t be able to do. And thats it.

I think your definition of morals is, in fact, the definition of ethics. They are not the same thing.

[@GetPaidtoMonger]

True

[@SelfPoisonBand]

Hmm... The defintion from oxford dictionary says other wise... eth·ic noun a set of moral principles, especially ones relating to or affirming a specified group, field, or form of conduct. "the puritan ethic was being replaced by the hedonist ethic" adjectiveRARE relating to moral principles or the branch of knowledge dealing with these. "the ethic question is of wider import" So... Yeah... It ethics are morals. What you going on about?

[@SelfPoisonBand]

To be more semantic, tou cant have morals without having an ethic, to even attempt to have a moral without an ethic. Would be using an ethic.... Etymology may help you in the future

[@auntiethetical]

@@SelfPoisonBand Ethics are created by a group or a society, based on shared moral principles. Individuals may follow them or not. Moral principles are personal. They belong to the individual and are not necessarily shared by a group or society. That’s what I’m going on about.

[@SelfPoisonBand]

@@auntiethetical And your point runs a full circle when you are running on a cognitive distortion, that is somehow making a "group or society" not personal? Sure, the hypothesis of ethics is nice and dandy on paper. In reality it can't be applied without people, so at the root of all ethics must contain personal morals. There is no separation (beyond the cognitive distortion of detachment and separation from the personal and ideals), morals and ethics are in fact interchangeable, and your moral subset view vs. my moral subset view, is causing us to explain different means through our own ethics. Yet I am aware of the cognitive distortion, and am having my own trying to explain it to you. I can see the paradox. Can you?

That’s not how it works. Seek and ye shall find. It’s a gift, known as grace. You have to receive it. Start by learning about how Jesus lived. If you truly want to know him. Unfortunately humans have distorted Christianity mainly Christians. It’s a relationship between you and him. We come to know God through him. If we want to. It’s free-will. But if you don’t care to know the truth, and put in the work. He rarely reveals himself to a non believer.

The main problem with EVERY statistic in this video is that the data is calculated in a FALSE way. The average lifespan is a meaningless stat when you average in children dying before age 5 with the adult population of the exact same country. Once you factor out child mortality, if a person lives to 10 years old, in virtually every country on earth for all of human history, the average expected lifespan has always been about 70-80 years (outside of war or natural disasters).
