Ah, an appearance by the Bard, at the very beginning! :)

I miss the discussion questions that are in the book. It would be nice if they were included in the description or in the comments.

After viewing what people do with their "choices", I'm beginning to be quite anti-choice.

[@funwithmagnus8570]

I know right. But looking back at history and the bible, it seems to be by design that choosing to do the right thing with your free will isn't the easy choice. This is why most people are a neutral evil and immoral. It will always be this way.

[@TedSeeber]

@@funwithmagnus8570 So since we know it will always be this way; should we not design culture to create a tradition of making doing the right thing an easier choice?

[@funwithmagnus8570]

@@TedSeeber we have, quite a few times over the arc of our history. Christianity covers it quite well, Hinduism covers it quite well. Communists tried new incentive structures, capitalists try new incentive structures. Men have turned into tyrants in that pursuit.

Interesting discussion. Seems to me that in order to be "pro-freedom," you also have to be "pro-individual responsibility for your choices." We have to stop (as a society) underwriting poor decisions. Also, ^yes - we should also make a society that makes good choices easier and teaches good / bad - right and wrong. The relativism prevalent today has resulted in nothing but bad outcomes.
