A Hypothetical Question | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 59833572 United States 12/14/2014 01:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have a rather interesting hypothetical question that was brought up while speaking with a friend of mine about the mindset of those who are interested in conspiracies. I would deeply appreciate it if you could answer our absurd query as honestly as possible: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62869669 - Let us imagine that you actually are able to speak with something that is not supposed to exist but is also inherently dangerous. For instance, imagine that I am a vampire. Not one of those moronic people who think they are a vampire, but a predatory creature that is sickened by sunlight and does not age. How would you react? I would definitely be instantly hypnotized by the hypothetical creatures inherently dangerous presence!!! |

That’s the thing about progress; all the word means is “continued movement in the same direction.” If the direction was a bad idea to start with, or if it’s passed the point at which it still made sense, continuing to trudge blindly onward into the gathering dark may not be the best idea in the world. Break out of that mental straitjacket, and the range of possible futures broadens out immeasurably. John Michael Greer |

Would you not be at least somewhat disgusted by something monstrous? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62869669 Don't believe what people say about how they will react to a certain situation, it is impossible to know if logic prevails over instinct. “The living being had no need of eyes because there was nothing outside of him to be seen; nor of ears because there was nothing to be heard; and there was no surrounding atmosphere to be breathed; nor would there have been any use of organs by the help of which he might receive his food or get rid of what he had already digested, since there was nothing which went from him or came into him: for there was nothing beside him. Of design he created thus; his own waste providing his own food, and all that he did or suffered taking place in and by himself. For the Creator conceived that a being which was self-sufficient would be far more excellent than one which lacked anything; and, as he had no need to take anything or defend himself against any one, the Creator did not think it necessary to bestow upon him hands: nor had he any need of feet, nor of the whole apparatus of walking; but the movement suited to his spherical form which was designed by him, being of all the seven that which is most appropriate to mind and intelligence; and he was made to move in the same manner and on the same spot, within his own limits revolving in a circle. All the other six motions were taken away from him, and he was made not to partake of their deviations. And as this circular movement required no feet, the universe was created without legs and without feet.” -Plato |
