Re: Are you a good person?
Not all values are 'arbitrary'.
We are physical creatures, grounded in the physical.
A man starving to death, a man being flayed alive, a man dying of a horrible disease knows that freedom from pain, from suffering, from hunger, is an Absolute value dictated by our physical existence. The intellect plays no part here. None at all.
A man caught between the couplers of two freight cars does not spend his last minutes reflecting unpon Nietzsche.
