I appreciate your candidness and am aware of the model. There arises the problem of incentives and individual subjective values.

The basic issue remains:
"the good society must accept men and women as they are.”

The problem with the model is it attempts to change people to fit the model, instead of changing the model to fit the people. That is why so many die.

Sort:  

Why would a good society accept the toxic?
Thats like saying cancer cells have the same rights as healthy cells.

If the model is the right one, and the people fail to adopt it because being cancer cells gives more pleasure, it is suicide to let them prevail because of some squeamshness on our part.

I was hoping the context of the quote would unwind this a bit.

The good society is the cancer. It is the social construct that runs over whatever is in it's way, and justifies it as collective will.

Ah, ok, im pretty dense and dont often pick up on clues.
Born to lose,...

Rule by force is the disease, who and how are symptoms.

Eliminate that, and this debate becomes mostly academic.

I think your heart and intentions are in a good place, it's just the models you reach for that are a little sketchy.
;)

Im making this up as i go.
Have been for over ten years.
Ive been consistent, though.
I can link where i said the same things in '05.
