All these essentials are indeed needed by almost all people. However, all such essentials require one thing in order for them to be "owned", "had" or "used". Nothing comes without paying the price in the form of the expenditure of energy/strength - power.

Democracy takes the opinion of the majority, over the minority. The respect for the minority being human and their integrity are also taken away. There are countless examples of this throughout life. Thus, this "disrespect" of humans is a common phenomena. So if anyone is overly focused no...

Yes, if someone were to believe that they had free-will, the nature of this choice is selfish. Because that person assumes that they control their destiny - that they are more powerful than the rest of nature. Their being human beings, or their choices being supposedly good or bad has no bearing...

If I may just budge my way in a bit for this: "Truth is the kind of error without which a certain species of life could not live. The value for LIFE is ultimately decisive." This quote gives me reason to believe that art and science can both provide "truths". They are at least similar in...

No, if something was made to kill, it has no bearing on that thing being evil or not (even if we assume that good and evil exist). But bear in mind - weapons are designed to hurt or kill. That means that the only reason someone could think of weapons as evil, is if they say that hurting or...

As far as I know, most people already follow this, no matter of what creed. No one wants to waste their energy trying to infringe upon other people's rights, unless it involves their own interests. Since your freedom is limited only by things that can resist your will - so in this case, human...

How do I brush history aside when I use it to compare to what is now prevalent? The point is to show how we have increased life expectancy throughout history, not that things are the same. This point is flawed! It was easy to understand that double the average life expectancy is what we should...

Actually, that was supposed to say that you assumed that feeling sad equates to acting against one's self-interest. And I state the same retort: "I call that state as being a used whore to one's guilt and conscience." But you assume here that when we act against our self-interests, that our...

Stating the lives of a few rare occurrences doesn't impress anyone...we're not really interested in a few rare occurrences after all. Since nowadays we also have 120+ year old people, your argument that there used to be 90 year olds just goes to show that the maximum life expectancy has...

That means that the collective norm is not actually "right", it's just that they have the power to enforce their beliefs. Yes, morality is for the greater number. And thus, morality supports the weak - it must level everyone's power, or the stronger will take over. The wrong in morality are thus...

ASSUMING (big assumption here imo) that good and evil exist in the first place, guns are not evil, but they COULD be evil enhancing.

I think it would help us a lot more if you explained what you meant by best action, rather than the endless argument about happiness or sadness via self-interests. You may have something, but we need to know what you mean by best possible action. Best meaning the greatest fulfillment of...

I guess it just depends which Starwars he's talking about lol :smile:

Thanks for calling our comments as errors, yet do nothing to provide any PROOF or ARGUMENTS to show that this is so. What's the point of learning about the civilian point of view in this matter? They have little to no knowledge or experience in dealing with national security, and the civilians...

That's a misunderstanding of life! It has constantly changed DRAMATICALLY* especially over our last two thousand years. No other species has had its life expectancy grow double in less than a thousand years, as well as many other major life changes. To say that the discussion of changing life...
