Forgive my slow understanding on this one..
If hypothetically you were allowed to go live somewhere with friends and people who agree with you (free to settle unclaimed land, wouldn't have to pay for it). and could govern as you wish and be sure that you wouldn't be messed with in any way..
Would that be fine? Or would you still maybe be a victim of some type of injustice?
Where does the injustice come in?
Curious and wise. Not slow.
Well what I think is that there couldn't possibly be any injustice..
Any time nobody is actively interfering with you in some way, to my mind there's no possibility that any injustice is occurring to you.
But then think of a lot of things people get upset about and consider to be injustices..
(I'm not sure how it is in your part of the world, but thinking about the US..)
Not having free health care and free college education is something that some people consider an injustice. Or even that some people have more money than others.
So think about anything that people would claim to be not fair or an injustice. The thought experiment is basically: If, hypothetically, the people who disagree with you had a force field around them and couldn't harm you or interfere with your life and behavior at all, does that more or less settle the issue?
In my book, ya. That's all I demand every time I consider something to be wrong or an injustice.
If someone would answer "no", that the injustice would still be there, then I'd say the "injustice", whether they realize it or not, is that they aren't able to use people how they want to.
So it's kind of a litmus test of whether a cause or an issue you have in mind is real or bs, I believe.
Okay....
I catch your drift
We've got that kind of sentiment over here too
It's funny how people blame everyone but themselves for their misfortune
Ya, for sure. And another thing I wonder about is like.. it seems like a mis-use of their righteousness hehe
Like I imagine we all probably have some capacity or instinct for rallying against injustices.. if we were all focused on the things that really are injustices, the world could get so good so fast
Thanks for your question.
but who decides the things that REALLY are. Damn I love the existentialists!
Albert Camus. lol.
you're like next-level right now! I need to go get coffee and try to figure this out.
Am I an existentialist? I googled, and the beginning of the wiki page sounds pretty dope.
But I don't know if maybe I'd keep reading and it would be like oh THAT'S what they mean
haha...this guy puts it pretty succintly lol. >>>>
What I like most about it is it has its dark gloomy side for people like me 😣😣 and then its optimistic side which is exactly the way you expressed it up there haha
Nice. I like that the French guy with the funny eyes realized that if there's no answer, then no authority knows the answer either.
