Default Re: Researchers Creating Life From Scratch

unfortunately, although you claim to not be able to fathom it, it still happens before your eyes, and its the reason why humanity is on a downward spiral. Mass Corporations are quite possibly the best way to provide an example in this area, i really don't have the mettle to go through the number of examples when there are enough publications that do it much better (the corporation is a really good one).

In anycase, nobody genuinely cares for the rest of humanity. i'm sorry to say it bluntly, and it sounds like a ridiculous thesis with no substance, unfortunately (yes, unfortunately because even though i believe i still acknowledge it sucks :P), i can provide logical arguments and proofs behind this matter.


First and formost, altruism displayed by real people (not in stories), is not altruistic at all, it is done for the satisfaction that you have helped someone, it is done to achieve that feeling of being good because your hand directly helped someone and you recieved nothing concrete in return (the "warm, fuzzy, feeling if you will). All things done, although most concious minds don't accept it, are done for a purpose that will eventually suit you. This is the truth i accept, people are no better than a pack of wolves, except we get what we want intelligently.


Second, THere are no "genuinely good" people, or "genuinely bad" people, creating two extremes on a scale that represents an entity that can make decisions is nonsensical in my opinion. actions can be garnered as good or bad, the person taht creates them is not. Thus is why people are persecuted on what they do, not who they are (or at least it happens ideally). Life is not like a video game, there are no bars indicating how far to the good side or dark side you are, and everything you do, is soley based on what criteria you consider. Everytime you make a decision it is based on what criteria you have taken into consideration, and upon that information, you come to a conclusion which best serves to meet you need or want. Labelling someone as bad or evil does nothing to enlighten anyone about why he/she did something, or how to avoid it. Thus good and bad are unjust rulings in rating a person.
