>>3766346

Thinking evolution is not real (stupid though it may be) has no importance, means nothing, and generally helps you dismiss others easily. There is no cost to think it. In contrast, there is a cost to thinking people must give up a portion of their labor to the state though. One is irrelevant, one shakes the very requirement for life.

it's not that bad. greatest good for the greatest number is more or less a sound moral doctrine. it's the basis for democracy. Although I do find difficulty keeping it consistent when it comes to dilemmas like 'kill 1 to save 5', but these situations are contrived to say the least so I think it is possible to stick to utilitarianism. In truth, we have all sorts of ways to rationalise moral dilemmas like using the age of the victim, chances of success etc. You will never keep to a single firmly defined ethical code no matter how hard you try, but we cans till appreciate the merits of one in general even if we acknowledge this.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 19 20:15:53 2011 No.3767277 >>3767231 I think the kill 1 save 5 also depends on the value of the people you kill/save. For instance, if the person you killed was Carl Sagan, and the other 5 were homeless people, I would rather keep Sagan.

The post I was referencing actually says "greatest good for the greatest number". Honestly...

Also, pure democracy is mob rule. Constitutional democracies or republics are the unification of large groups of people towards a larger goal (protection being the most notable but also including many others, like providing education, contract enforcement, etc.), while still respecting the rights of the individual.

Pure democracy isn't for the greater good, it's just anarchy, pure and simple. It has no tenets beyond the will of the people at any given moment and whatever threat said people can bring to bear against those who disagree.

Well that's a false account of the moral philosophy

utilitarians generally determine what is right by what constitutes the best possible state of affairs all round. There is no need for compromise because utilitarianism already accounts for that compromise.

Democracy present in most countries - as in representational democracy - is more akin to preference utilitarianism than anything else where the will of some can supersede the will of others.

I, for one, find no problem with their argument. There is more than enough scientific justification for eugenics, seeing as it has recently been shown unequivocally that IQ is based highly on genetics.

Actually, I don't even think we know the shape/topology of the observable universe. It isn't necessarily spherical, at least it hasn't been proven for sure it is.

besides that you are entirely right.

Exactly my point. Arrogant kids in high-school and armchair neckbeard "scientists" are the only ones who actually think science talks about facts rather than likelihoods. They're also the most outspoken proponents of things they know almost nothing about, too.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 20 01:16:53 2011 No.3768713 >>3768703 Fair enough. I knew there was an issue with the universe as a whole, but I guess I just assumed that the observable universe was spherical. I expect the acceleration of the expansion of the universe fucks everything up, though.

Then you're putting a value on human life, and what makes you qualified to do so? At least in our society, the correct answer would be to let the 5 people die because it is wrong to kill someone. I also agree with this view, no matter what subjective value I may think a particular human being has.

Defending eugenics on the basis of IQ also puts value on human life. Is IQ so important that others should be sterilized? Do low-IQ people have no function in society? Should we at least try to improve the knowledge and intelligence of the lowest common denominator before resorting to something so extreme?

I recently read that the uneven expansion of the universe led to the collapse of an unimaginably large amount of mass that is now pulling superclusters of galaxies towards it at hundreds of miles per hours. This mass may also lie outside of the universe. It terrifies me to imagine the scale of such a thing.

Nothing. But if I was placed in a situation where I had to make such a decision, I'd compare their relative value from my perspective. You think that's wrong? Cool. I agree with the original poster. Carl Sagan>5 homeless people.

I also think eugenics is retarded especially based on something like IQ which has no evidence of being a proper measurement of intelligence.

Eugenics seems like an idea doomed to fail to civil war. Selective breeding doesn't though. Wonder why that never caught on.

Seems to me the proponents of eugenics would be willing to pay to have a child with somebody with a useful phenotype.

I would pay for a smart girl from a family with above average intellect to bear my kid to term. I wouldn't even demand to fuck her, its a sound genetic investment.

Eugenics in practice would infringe on personal liberty. Any governmental body that could forcibly sterilize, "cleanse the gene pool" or remove undesirables would obviously be tyrannical. Such a means to an end is not acceptable. Especially when such an end can be solved by voluntary education/gene therapy/augmentation.

Wouldn't the practice of giving black offenders harsher sentences than white ones, which leads to them spending decades in prison as free labor for corporations and when they are finally released don't have the economic position to start a family, technically be a mild form of eugenics?

When I was 7 a question at the top of one of those kiddy IQ tests asked what the biggest number we knew was.
I didn't have space to write 'there is no biggest number', so I put 'a googol'. Looking back on it, I wish I'd given a real explanation.

Isn't eugenics are comp out?

It's basically a sign your country fucking sucks at education and all your citizens watch 2 1.5 Men and work at Wendies flipping burgers?

Conservatives want them killed or put into swet shops.
Liberals want them to work at farms.

How about none of the above. If your stay out of trouble do what you will. However to off set this liberalism, if you are charged with multiple felonies, we will harvest your organs and use your corpse for anatomy class or medical testing.
