It's wild to me that grown adults still use "good" and "evil" as an actual heuristic

    Of course evil is an actual heuristic - what point are you trying to make here?

    It's a useless heuristic, because it's a fuckin magical metaphysical one. If you're not a christian who believes in a spirit world, then stop letting the church define reality for you. Good and evil as concepts have no more valence on physical reality than karma or sin, and have no power to explain why things happen.

    Children think in good and evil. Adults think in cause and effect. Be scientific.

    Does River think their special for calling an unspecified murder a cause and effect instead of an evil? I dont think in a Christian way. I still think its fucking normal to call shit evil instead of explaining how the effects of murder are painful for the following litany of reasons

    If anything, done by people like them. A ML user posted this in ML itself, some of the folks from other instances come in with bad faith and/or bullcrap arguments, other ML users come in to defend and debunk, and we're apparently the ones brigading in our own space.

    Colonizer attitude, these belligerent natives are invading their own land just because we're here shitting it up, how intolerant of them, something needs to be done to end this barbaric inexplicable hostility.
