I look forward to your contribution to FFA.

I had a big change in my mindset lately.

I believe that each person is interchangeable. In other words, if you grew up in the body and circumstances of a person who ended up being a serial killer, you wouldn't do anything different to what they did.

I also believe that most evil acts come from simple ignorance of the right path, and that the only true evil is ignoring what is right in favor of being self-serving.

Can you guys help me find some books that expand on ideas like these? As you can tell, I'm not well-read and can barely articulate myself.

There aren't really any words that bother me, aside from bullshit jargon.

However, there is a phrase that bothers me:

You just lost the game.

Is there such a thing as "emotion"?
How is it any different from "taking note" or "belief"?

Yes, Socrates existed. All we know for sure about him is that he was just a dude who loved ethics, conversations, and making analogies about arts and crafts.

Also, yes, Socrates is like Jesus or Muhammed, only he fucks the faces of your stupid prophets in every way imaginable. He was stronger, cleverer, funnier, and had a much more positive influence than your bullshit godbois.

Where is your God now?
