Within the limitations of free will, yes, you can change. Acceptance is a good thing, but if slaves accepted their fate, we wouldn’t have the democracies we now have.-laust
The part to not having any choise is just for theoretical completeness. In practical real life there is always a choise. Obviously only as long one hase an according capable decition making organ in a physical sense.
I think we need to decide what this conversation is about. If it is the question of whether the universe provides a universal right and wrong, and we can discern it, then, the conversation is over, the answer is no. If the question is, can we, as limited humans, create a system that defines right and wrong in a way that promotes happiness and flourishing for more humans, then, my opinion is; yes.-laust
Indeed, but because "limited humans" have already made such a ethical system that defines right and wrong. Is the answer yes and the conversation also over.
My last question about this would only be, are humans aware of the difference to objective truth and the fact that they have a selfmade ethical system which they could adapt at will?
We might be agreeing here, but using different words. When you say “my own mind”, I think that means the thoughts you have based on a combination of instinct that comes from evolution plus culture... - laust
Yes we agree basically, I just like to add the point and focus on "self-awareness" which is capable to change the effect of said bases (instinct, culture) on the mind/thoughts.
@mriana alles gut. Doesn’t matter where you’re from, I was just trying to penpoint possible countries you might be from. I haven’t used German since high school though, so my ability to speak and write it is almost non-existent.
