Equality

Post by RWStanding »

Pragmatism is about what we are.
Ethics or ethical values is about what we and society aspire to be.
There is no innate equality, either physically or ethically.
But if we and our society aspires to become equal in ethical terms, then we treat all people as being potentially virtuous in altruistic terms.
We do not treat all aspiration as being altruistic, or equal.
We do not treat people as being innately inferior etc.
There are three alternatives for us and society.

Are you speaking of the philosophy "Pragmatism," or only of the idea of "being pragmatic," small-"p"?

Of your philosophy, what I found to be the key component was "we treat all people as being potentially virtuous in altruistic terms"; the reason, for the extraction, was that it was a heavy creator in my mind of definition-logistics.

In terms of innateness question, I would espouse that there is the proof, of means having no ends for itself, in regards to the psychology of "all peoples": the reason, for the lack of ends for means being special, is that it could be a game-changer for the daylight-idiosyncrasy logistic.

My preoccupation, isn't with equality anymore, because that's folly in the event of daylight's inevitability. Daylight's inevitability means the inevitability of before as after, which means the inevitability of judgement being evil.

To my mind, the solution to this paradigm is the left to right sequence, which would find its force in the all peoples activation.

There is no such thing as "equality" in that all things are unique.

Equality is nothing more than lazy thinking [a concept scraped off the bottom of the intellectual sludge bucket].
