No... (Why and/or how not?)

Hopefully this works https://youtu.be/o_1aF54DO60, speculation as in speculation of all kinds, speculation that other people will act a certain way or be 'evil' or do certain things... Evil is a protective response to other things right? It can't possibly be a thing on it's own can it?

[FictionalCharacter]

‘Speculation’?
Believing in what exactly?

Also nice song, whoo heard it when I was about 26/27 years old. Oh time flies, Lana del Rey motivated me to get plastic surgery. Cause of how beautiful she is.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Speculation is fun 😊. And evil does exist.

Those who seek seashells will find seashells, those who look a little bit deeper will find pearls.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Sort of, but pearls are rare compared to the number of oyster shells.

i think assumption is more prevalent than speculation and its hard to get away from it because some people trust what you say making it hard to take what you say back.

[sensible27]

People are sometimes quick to assumptions because late to speculation get's you a fine.

[cheapshotbob]

but mistakes can be made when you assume , things need to be investigated sp the speculation could be confirmed

[sensible27]

Assumptions, sometimes about the behaviour of other people are still sometimes speculations aren't they?

[cheapshotbob]

yeah they are unless you have some kind of proof that what you say is valid.

[Regmorus]

Nope, ancient Greeks philosophy was all speculation. Still it was the beginning of all science.

[sensible27]

They are not mutually exclusive.

[Regmorus]

Yes, you are right. Hypothetically it could still be that speculation is beginning of science and root of all evil.

But I still don't think it's the case, because in my opinion evil intentions or evil mindset can be born on a level of self that is below the levels of conscious thinking where speculation can be created.

[sensible27]

Is evil not intended still evil?

[Regmorus]

That's a good question. Well, I have to answer that way. We have to deal with what looks like evil on the outside as with hypothetical true evil in order to protect people and that's what counts, to me at least. And then the original cause can be first neglected.

But the decision "to be" truly evil one makes indeed on a very deep level, in my world view, a level far below level of intention or speculation. There the intention is born, there the first cause of intention is.

[sensible27]

Do you think absolute morality is a thing?

[Regmorus]

Unfortunately I do not know what you refer to as absolute morality. Can you please define it?

[sensible27]

As in morality where things are objectively wrong or right, is what is moral relative or absolute?

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Speculation well it depends on how one is accurate with it and how it affects the events depending on that it becomes good, bad, evil or neutral

[Thatsamazing]

Uhhh... huh? Not sure where you were going with this one, man.

[winterfox10]

I disagree that evil is a protective response. Insecurity is the source of evil

[OddBeMe]

I guess... all acts come from thoughts. Thoughts are speculation.

[josephinelcajon]

Religion is because it makes you speculate

[Anonymous]

no, that's stupid and doesn't even make sense.

[lanadelrey25]

I love that song

[Froyologirl]

No it's trumptards
