Now this is a new idea for the thread: creation.no one will create equally
I think this is an important distinction, and not just in a hermetic sense: those who create are not acting within what is, but forming something that did not exist prior to their intervention. This is growth, as opposed to maintenance, which is what other work involves.When we bring our thoughts and ideas Into fruition, we have created from nothing.
And another excellent point. Those who would be helped cannot be so inert that they do nothing for themselves. Also, as you saw, they often become resentful, because each gift from us to them hammers home the message that we are successful and they are in need of help. It's like tweaking their noses, at some point.You cannot help those who will not help themselves.
Well.... I dunno. It just kind of seems mean. Maybe it will make our society meaner. Does it work? It seems like most of the people getting paid a lot today are government workers, union babies, affirmative action hires, Facebook consultants, bureaucrats created by 10,000 lines of government regulations, middle managers of no particular utility, and entertainers. Are the right people succeeding?What's wrong with Social Darwinism?
Only if people are using their logical faculties and are mature enough to pursue the truth. It's an egalitarian fallacy to say "we" are above base animalistic drives; it's more accurate to say that some are, most of the time.I was taught humans were not animals as we have the ability to feel and reason. We are above base animalistic drives.
I find this compelling. Oddly it's very much Romantic (Shelley, Keats, Byron) as well.I personally find the civilian world to be disgusting. No honor, everyone just doing whatever will make them money.
For me civilian life is nothing! In the field we had a code of honor, you watch my back, I watch yours. Back here there’s nothing! - John Rambo
For the record, Ford... I would gladly give every dime that I pay to support the lazy, unmotivated, leaches in our society to every veteran that needed it. I may be Libertarian in my views, but it in no way implies that I do not appreciate and respect the sacrifices our soldiers have made for me and for this great nation. The more disgusting fact is that our own government doesn't seem to appreciate it like they should.I let others fight for my libertarian rights, but not me thank you I just want to live off the blood of soldiers.
