@admitsWrongIfProven Nope, and once it is is the day capitalism would be flawless And there would no longer be a need for social programs.

@freemo I see. Your dream of monopoly control you were silent about for a time. Maybe, some time in the future. Maybe, same chances, some time separate from us. That would be nice.

@admitsWrongIfProven Monopoly? Are you saying monopolies are an indication of caring for one another? Not sure why your bringing up monopoloies out of nowhere

@admitsWrongIfProven Yea but in a world where everyone cares about eachother, which is the axiom, how would you have a BOFH, that would be a person who doesnt have compassion no?

@freemo The BOFH is a caricature of what happens already. And our petty squabbles are naught compared to what could be.

@admitsWrongIfProven

Yea well we dont live in a world where people care about each other. So what happens "already" has no relevance to this hypothetical world where people do care about each other. In such a world, as I said, capitalism in its pure form would be ideal. You cant have the BOFH argument in such a world.

@freemo Oh.

The way you describe it, the world should be barren. Seen in the light of utilitarianism, even barring negative utilitarianism, it would be best if nothing existed, in your world.

Goethes Faust strikes again, it would be better if nothing existed :-)
