RE: Metaphysics as an Excuse for Crap Ethics.

in #philosophy7 years ago

Well damn I missed this outside the "seven day window"
I can appreciate the fact you are clearly stating opinion here, yet are also open minded enough...
"Now, I might add, that I do believe in the existence of subtle energy or Chi but I simply don't believe there's enough evidence about what it is to call for political systemic government premised on these ideas. Hinduism and the caste system are proof enough that such systems are destructive and abusive."

Yes, i agree about Hinduism and castes
However, i Think it is a very extreme example and an exception to the rule...

No worries, chelsea, I have little financial motivation for the topics I write about. These are my passions:)
Maybe, but they are persistent and cross cultural boundaries. Calvinism, the modern prosperity movement, and even certain New-Age philosophies all espouse dubious economic systems. I reject that the thousands of children dying every day from starvation is because​ they couldn't attract wealth into their life. There is no justifiable evidence for such spiritual assertions​s. Today they are mainly dying from corrupt mafia driven economic systems. The legal mafias of first world nations are the most dangerous, too.
