I've now been down fourty percent of my processor level for quite some time. Here I imagined somewhere down this road at least a little bit of challenge in going through life with your energy so much depleted, but alas... nothing happens.

Do they not even realize there is a difference?

	Ah, I think I get you. I wonder if many of them actually view themselves as entirely good, though? I mean, everyone has flaws, and I'd have thought that most people recognise that. That said, though, there are people who are considered to be 'more good' than others, if one is looking at it from a standard moral compass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The thing is not if they see themselves as good or evil, but if they believe they can see others as either of those two variables.

The whole theory of a so-called moral compass is highly flawed in itself. Who was the first to decide which definition should be used for it? Was the prehistoric killing of spawn evil if it made the tribe survive? Or was it good to let them live if it lead to suffering for the whole community?

Where does one begin and the other end?

That's true, but speaking with regards to humanity, the majority of the population has a standard set of rights and morals that people are expected to live by. While it is flawed, and it is entirely a matter of opinion, the fact that so many people agree with the majority of them make it easy to live by them. People grow up with a set of beliefs, and if you learn them early enough, humans are creatures of habit.

Many things rely on circumstance, and human morals and beliefs have changed throughout time. It is impossible to judge people of the past by standards that are popular in today's environment.

I know what it means when past standarts change. I people were once invading conquerers who assimilated near to any interesting tidbit any culture they encountered ever produced. But the instinct to do this is still there.

My question is: Why did humans stop to listen to their instincts? If you hadn't done that, you'd me quite the matriarchal society. More aggressive than you are now, but definitely matriarchal.

	bakuhatsushinji 2008-06-28 02:56 am UTC (link)
	No idea. Think it's got something to do with the fact that as a society we developed technology with the aim of making our lives easier and better, with functions that took the place of having to rely on our instincts. Not sure, though. Why matriarchal? I don't know a lot about our history or anything, so... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Matriarchal, because the best warriors in any sentient species of organic origin are 98,86% always female. The only cases where that is not the fact are species where the male bears the offspring, thus needing the genetic good fortune of a female pain resistance.

If you look at your females, they follow their instincts more than the male, but as your society is so male-dominant it is only a by-note in the great farce that is your evolution.
