Do Good.

Does anyone here plan to become a vegetarian, this week?

 

I do.

 

Eating meat is just so very wrong, and I want to do right.

Hmm. If we weren’t meant to eat meat, we would never have evolved the way we did, esp the brain. As to the sometimes barbaric way we treat cattle, well that’s another matter.

Yes. Very risky.

As for the no god thing, and C&P, I wouldn’t count my chickens on that either… not in the way it’s been sold. 

 

No Country For Old Men… a classic. Hate that Brolin and wife had to die, but of course they were secondary and the story was all about the sheriff and the changing world.

Very barbaric when they have sex with cattle, and even horses, as sometimes happens...as you know.

Your clip from 2001 is great, interestingly, it's been given a modern twist,

 by of all things, The Barbie movie, watch this...    

 

 

If you have to ask the question then you are probably not ready for the answer.

Exactly. Vegetarians have this imaginary moral high ground that they preach from, but they have no standing to do so. Cattle and every other meat animal are by and large treated horribly, yes indeed and that sucks. So how do the "veggies" feel about meat from humanely treated animals who volunteer to be euthanized after long productive lives? Just kidding, but there are farms who do in fact purposefully treat the animals well, but that meat is expensive, and most regular working people can't afford it. The problem with people is, our bodies (and some minds) are still at cave man level of evolution, while society propels us light years ahead faster than we can reasonably adapt. So lets go all the way. How do they know that vegetables don't feel pain? I swear I hear screaming every time I mow the lawn. 

Can't being good simply mean "not purposely harming someone? Accidents happen but purposefully doing bad is evil.

not to mention little old ladies who try and eek out a living selling bananas

For most of us, when we do good, we feel good.. 

Yes, you should always do what you think is right, regardless of the consequences.

Maybe he's talking about the multiverse of madness

Try them both and see which one you like better

Just now, Jonathan Swift said:

In that so called mind of his.

BTW I just thought that AI/BOTS don't have a mind!

...goes without saying!

There are very complex body chemistry, psychological and social factors behind doing good, helping others. The Thais call it "making merit".

 

Normal people feel good when they do good. Sociopaths and psychopaths don't, they are wired differently.

Because I've been a biker for 50+ years.... I ride a lot in CM.  Because I inherited a well used scooter, twice I've had mechanical problems while driving.  Both times I was on a busy ring road, so I started pushing my bike down the road to get if off the road.  Both times it wasn't long before a passing Thai scooter driver stopped and offered to push me by putting his left foot on my right side passenger peg while driving his scooter behind me.  And both just smiled and nodded to my thankful wai at the end.

 

Even you can probably see why I disagree with your assessment of the Thai attitude.
