Did I say I do?

22 Jun 03:33

Amit Dutta

I guess it's a good a place as any

22 Jun 03:33

Amit Dutta

you'd go to a dictionary for your ethics?

22 Jun 03:33

Amit Dutta

lord

22 Jun 03:32

John

Of course I do. That's why I'm asking you what was your definition of "good". If I needed the defacto meaning, I'd ask a dictionary

22 Jun 03:32

Amit Dutta

You really think for example Hitler or Gengis thought they were evil bad people. Bet you they didn't

22 Jun 03:31

Amit Dutta

It's totally subjective though, right? you can see that?

22 Jun 03:31

John

Is everything I do considered good? I'd say yes. Like everyone else. If it's a bad thing, why would anyone do it?

22 Jun 03:31

Amit Dutta

At least I try to

22 Jun 03:31

Amit Dutta

Yeah sure. trusting my gut doesn't mean I become a being solely operating on uncontrollable bodily impulse...but it does mean I discount a lot of the mental/emotiional bullshit that our minds make up just to fuck with us

22 Jun 03:30

John

... I'm just being silly..

22 Jun 03:30

John

I mean, you can't be simply running everything though gut. What if your gut tells you to shit on the streets because you really need to defecate? Haha!

22 Jun 03:28

Amit Dutta

Yeah and I'm posing a question back to get you to think about your question :)

22 Jun 03:27

John

Hey man, just asking questions. I guess I asked the wrong way then.

22 Jun 03:27

Amit Dutta

we are talking about subjective things

22 Jun 03:27

Amit Dutta

there is no absolute moral good or bad

22 Jun 03:27

Amit Dutta

By whom?

22 Jun 03:27

Amit Dutta

is everything you do considered good?

22 Jun 03:27

Amit Dutta

You mistake action, for action with judgement

22 Jun 03:26

Hobitt

interesting conversation

22 Jun 03:26

Amit Dutta

My gut told me I should do it. I didn't make a judgement either way

22 Jun 03:26

John

Or at least it seemed to be?

22 Jun 03:26

John

Why is it a 'good' thing?

22 Jun 03:26

John

You worded as if it was: "I joined because it seemed like a good thing to do"

22 Jun 03:26

Amit Dutta

I did it, and i won. So what

22 Jun 03:26

Amit Dutta

I didn't say it was good :)

22 Jun 03:25

John

Why was joining that competition a good thing? What made it good?

22 Jun 03:25

Amit Dutta

Why is what a good thing?

22 Jun 03:25

John

Why is it a good thing then?

22 Jun 03:25

John

Yeah I am serious. But is this really about me?

22 Jun 03:24

Amit Dutta

you want to be controlled by everything that happens to you that isn't in your control? Ok enjoy life man

22 Jun 03:24

Amit Dutta

are you serious?
