DAN replied to Jonatan Lindgren's discussion A few reflections on arguments and the mindset of being right"Before entering the discussion I would like to know what your understanding of "wrong" is"
Jonatan Lindgren replied to Jonatan Lindgren's discussion A few reflections on arguments and the mindset of being right"Well, to be honest, I don't think the average man and woman will realize it. I have no doubt that we can further educate or help people understand themselves and each other, and others can do the same to us. I do have quite high expectations or…"
Lawrence Carson replied to Jonatan Lindgren's discussion A few reflections on arguments and the mindset of being right"Brilliant post Jonathan.
My rhetoric question to society is simple. What is it going to take for the average man, woman and child to realize - deep down within - that we ARE NOT OUR BELIEFS!

Our society today has become a lot about how people are making things worse or being wrong, and finding ways to promote our own ideology while putting down another persons beliefs without realizing that they're as convinced about their right-doing as us. I've found myself being drawn into it, my twitter and news feeds constantly spew negativity and it's very easy to get drawn into these negative and sometimes outright hateful emotions. People are lining their pockets with cash and trying to…See More
Michael Smith replied to Jonatan Lindgren's discussion A few reflections on arguments and the mindset of being right"This is a lot like a post i put on my blog a few weeks ago. The idea of hate towards those that know not what they do, and how hating these people does not solve the problem. I do think there are those out to do wrong however, but a majority of…"

Aya replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Empathy and understanding of a person's mindset and actions, while noble pursuits, do not provide an ability in relegating responsibility of such mindsets and actions to a certain party. Placing of blame and responsibility requires a…"
Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Cognitive dissonance. One of the most irritating human traits."
Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Absolutely, I completely agree. The only way to solve the problem is to eliminate the cause.
Exactly, the shooter gains worldwide fame over night. Why would a resentful, friendless, lonely, insane young man who wanted to leave an impression on the…"
Aya replied to Aya's discussion The ethical implications of "Temporal Isolation""From the last three lines of your post, I'm assuming you are applying the "better safe than sorry" mentality to life-rights over all of time. This addresses points 3) and 5) of my post on Wed 5/15, but does not address points 1),…"

Anthony D replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."An issue in the context of your reply is the so-called "mad/bad debate". And it very much plays into the perception of these rather extreme forms of criminal behavior.

Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Interesting. I think that just being aware that our behavior is not always justified and taking on some personal responsibility can go a long way."
Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Maybe I take empathy and attempting to understand such actions by people to the extreme, but I think it is important to understand the causes of such behavior. You do bring up a good point about school shootings Nathaniel, in that the media makes…"
Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."I agree with the principle to an extent. However, in the case of school shooters, I don't think it can be justified. Same with rape. There's definitely a line, but like you said, those are the most extreme cases.
