Nate of the South How do you determine someone else's intent?

Genderless Rodent - Meth Goose Appreciator So far, the best we've got is adversarial system, a jury for questions of fact, an appeals process, and presumption of evidence.

Good system. Not prefect.

Nate of the South But that's only in terms of legal issues

Genderless Rodent - Meth Goose Appreciator Blocking a bridge is a legal issue.

Moral issues... I'd really need to know you personally too pass judgement and even then, with humility.

Pragmatically, we can't allow people to break down our systems, including systems of transport.

Nate of the South That didn't break down the systems though so I'm not sure what you're talking about?

Genderless Rodent - Meth Goose Appreciator I didn't mean to accuse you.

Consider an important system, ex running water.

If I disrupt that system, I'm 'harming' people. First, I must be stopped at once. Second, I ought be prosecuted. Third, and optionally, my motivations might be judged by people.

Genderless Rodent - Meth Goose Appreciator So we had people blocking a bridge because they don't like Palatine suffering at the hands of Israel.

First, we must open the bridge because it is a critical piece of our transportation system.

Second, arrest them and give them due process.

Third, optionally, listen.

2/3

Genderless Rodent - Meth Goose Appreciator Team red's reaction to bridge shows a lot of moral outrage that is misunderstood by much of team blue.

Blue correctly sees that it's emotional, not rational.

But what blue doesn't see is that it's a reaction to 'violation of the sacred.' Red doesn't see it either.

3/4

Genderless Rodent - Meth Goose Appreciator Red isn't an introspectional group, lol.

This morality has biological basis.

And it's very interesting see play out.

Nate of the South How does it have biological basis?

Genderless Rodent - Meth Goose Appreciator Twin studies. I should have Ben more humble in my claim with 'appears to' or some other softener.
