If you could instantly learn another language, which language would you choose and why?

I disagree with that first premise; I don't think evil implies some root causation outside the control of the individual. I view evil as a privation of some good. What is good is perfectly natural, and easy to discern: life, health, well-being, and so on. If any of these things are lacking to the individual, that is an evil, generally speaking. Intentionally bringing about such an act in oneself or another is a moral evil.

I think you may be misunderstanding my position on what exactly evil is. Describing it as a "possessive ether from satan" gives evil a positive existence in its own right, and that's simply not how I conceive of it. Evil is lack. It's not the antithesis to good or holiness, because the antithesis of something is itself a thing. Evil isn't a thing, but instead it is the lack of thingness, or some aspect thereof.

So probably you would say animals are incapable of committing moral evil, but more interesting is whether humans can commit “natural evil”. For the sake of conversation I will embrace the idea of evil, though I disagree with the fundamental premise of evil; to me there only exists good or beneficial, and bad or detrimental behavior toward others, and the associated motivations for those actions, which frequently do not align with the outcome. The concept itself is highly dependent on perceptive context. Thanks for linking the conversation Michael.

What's your earliest memory of the Internet?

I think the word good has been hijacked to be synonymous with holy. Good and bad are antonyms, while evil and holy are antonyms. It’s a nuance that I’m sensitive to, probably unnecessarily. 😊

I think there are people who commit immoral acts, and do bad things for a variety of reasons, but the concept of evil suggests some force acting outside of the realm of the person’s control. It’s the same as blessings, I don’t believe one person can be blessed any more or less than anybody else.

I solo hike and I'm often in areas with no cell coverage and having a means to send an SOS is a comfort.

You hope you do. It's OK, for now, but gosh, I wouldn't want to have to rely on a cell phone that's droppable...

But it sure is better than not having that.

I bought the new Motorola satellite communicator. Waaaay cheaper than the inreach and you get a year of service to start, with much more sensible plans than the Garmin or others.

I have an inReach I use to get lost in Swiss backcountry. My Alpinist brother also has one when he goes snowshoeing for hours to go ice climbing. It’s a “nice to have” for emergencies.

Some of my friends think I'm silly for doing that, but... If you get stuck you're boned!

I used to be more on board with people focused but I've grown tired of seeing the same shit over and over again. Topic focused makes it so much easier to filter and compartmentalize the feed.
