In Response To: Re: So, we need a topic...Lets try this? (Superfoborg)
: Basically... I look at the universe as a system, a big
: program more or less, whose function is to have as
: many beings happy as possible, in all places, at all
: times. ("Happiness" which I define as
: "known contentment" - having what you want
: in close, observable contrast to the possibility of
: not having what you want, so that you appreciate it
: most). The time part is important, because if
: everybody in the universe wants to do something, and
: it will make them all happy now, but will make most of
: them miserable for all eternity later, then it's still
: a "bad", dysfunctional thing to do.
Ethics question for you then.
What happens if a sadist [presumably a bad thing] tortures [presumably a bad thing] a machoist?
Both enjoy it.
Is that "Good"?
