What the F hell, absolutely not! The current dystopia is literally killing me.
I am a genderfluid autist, you think i am ok living in this world that has been harmfull to me non stop?
I just also a philosopher and like to know how reality works and what i discovered is that “evil” is an emergent concept from how humans express themselves in ways that overruled others consent. From being forced to listen to insults by the boss to physical assault.
You could not have judged me more wrong friend(?).
Not op that you replied to, but i find it funny to read your comments. I distinctly remember as a kid that i was playing with lego and i then realised that things like “justice” and “evil” are just in the eye of the beholder.
The good guy wanted to “protect his people and slay evil” (very hero-ist of the king lol) while the bad guy wanted to “have justice for being exiled and have better living conditions”. I realised they were both, essentially, the same thing. Both involved evil acts ( killing and fighting ).
So reading this chain of comments reminded me of that memory, and how true it is, at its core.
When we add factors like humans and power things gets vastly more complicated, but the core is the same.
Just like how current AI at its core, is interesting and super cool, but its been twisted and turned into something terrible because of humans, power and money
My autistic secret is i never stopped playing in my head.
The ability to build words from fantasy with my
drive for scientific realism allows me to experiment and study any idea or concept i encounter. I struggled a lot to understand my existence as a kid and it provided much more then school possible could.
But shh, dont tell anyone. People tend to find this weird (although i am getting the perception people are much more open to the action of daydreaming these days)
Huh, interesting. Im autistic myself and whenever i try to imagine a situation or place i kinda generate a world or scene in my head and apply what i know, or try to think of what could happen in that situation. In my day job this helps a lot to detect problems or make designs for things.
But i have never stood still to think that what you linked is what i might have, and is like a mature, overpowered version of what kids have. Thats flipping interresting
Great point. A dystopia in science fiction is indeed harmless. Because its a game i cant actually be physically harmed so i fully enjoy giving my consent to playing it
Wait you where arguing against me.
Are you saying we should ban violence and evil in games? I know this maybe common in orthodox religions but i can’t agree, media like cyberpunk are proving positive value by how they critique how concepts can be expressed as evil. Thats majorly important for the growth in society.
(Either the religious angle or you completely misunderstood my entire point, context is key. The way and when it is expressed is context)
You knew the context of the thread, and you chose to be like “um ackshully, all concepts are benign” as though the context in which we were speaking encompassed fiction and roleplay instead of actual harm to actual people. It belittled that harm for no reason.
I said the same thing about what was harming you, and now you have a problem.
“Capitalism isn’t bad. It’s what humans do with them that is bad.“
My reply was to someone who failed to understand what this meant so i provide additional context.
If you don’t understand that this conversation is literally about the differences between a concept and the context that makes it evil then i have nothing to tell you except you may want to work your reading comprehension.
Nothing i said says i find all concepts benign, the opposite is true they are all very interesting to think about. What i state they are not is inherently evil like its a cosmic fact written in the stars.
Also, i have not been attacking anyone merely engaged in friendly philosophy. Unlike you who suggested i am fine with bigotry.
This is a community for leftist thoughts, infighting makes us weaker.
If you have nothing more that is friendly to say, please don’t say nothing at all. Have a good day.

Dystopia exists in cyberpunk fiction, therefore it is harmless and you’re fine.

I quote the context in which i was speaking.
The top comment states:
“Capitalism isn’t bad. It’s what humans do with them that is bad.“
My reply was to someone who failed to understand what this meant so i provide additional context.

When the only context in which it’s evil is “the world outside of games and fiction,” then it’s evil.
It sure is buddy. I will take your holy word for it.
:eyeroll:
As long as you can think of some convoluted circumstance in which it’s ok, everything is fine.
