Rape is very common among species, our morality has came down through trial & error over the centurys. But remember, there are still cultures in the world where they still live under nomadic, tribal & very basic societies. It's normality there.

I saw a flash of the mic cord behind his neck and thought he was wearing his shirt while it was still on a wire hanger.

Zimbardo's use of the terms "Good" and "Evil" always troubles me. The terms might be useful as shorthand for ideas like "conforms to/acts against societal expectations," but I cringe every time I read one of his papers or listen to one of his talks--even while looking at peoples' outside influences, the connotations of the words are horrendously problematic in psychological discussions.

Drewsuff, I don't want to enter into arguing with you, obviously you are intelligent person, it is easy for two people who think differently to agree to some extent, and to disagree with people who don't think. Depending on situation, sometimes lazy stupidity is better survival technique than wasting energy in reasoning.

I would have to totally disagree. Humans are very rational. The difference though is that all huimans are not rational in the same way. We all have different patterns of reasoning and therfore will not all come to the same conclusions or course of action.

I think what is missing here is that humans are not rational beings, their brains are functioning primarily on self-defense mechanisms, delusions, prejudices, faith, will...

so, evil exists but whether you allow it to.

the people 'doing' these things, [awful school indoctrination schemes, the creation and release of aids, etc] are not evil. they think it's what they have to do for the greater good. they are the responsible class of men. for three thousand years they've shouldered a great deal of responsibility and skimmed off the top the whole time.that's where we're at.

Maurits Cornelis Escher (17 June 1898 27 March 1972), usually referred to as M. C. Escher (IPA: ['ɛsxəɾ]), was a Dutch graphic artist. He is known for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs and mezzotints. These feature impossible constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture and tessellations.Swedish damn!!!

But isn't an evil person, a person pursuing justice?Doesn't a child molester seek to destroy what reminds him of what was taken from him.. Their innocence. To see a child and want to destroy them is evil and the norm in our culture. From parent to teacher to..Our society rewards evil at every level. There is great profit in say intensionally infecting children with AIDS and zero consequence. Look at Bayer.Justice is a thin veil used as a distraction and given to us by evil people. |
