Do you think good and evil in the world balances out, or do you believe that one is more concentrated on Earth? I'll wait to speak my opinion once someone else does.

Progress exists, therefore the good outweighs the evil.

QUOTE(ComradeRed @ May 18 2004, 3:38 PM)  Progress exists, therefore the good outweighs the evil. Wow, this is an extremely old statement, but heck, I'm going to refute it because it sounds like something an imperialistic neoconservative would say (sorry). For too long, the United States has attributed "progress" to "good", and in many cases, the U.S.'s power in this world lies in its ability to determine the definition of "progress" in order to suit its political goals. It seems to me like many aspects of "progress" (technological, scientific, economic) are amoral, whereas the label "good" implies a sense of morality. Thus, I don't think that society's "progress" as it is conventionally defined can act as an accurate barometer for the world's "goodness". |
