X CIA asset explains the true events leading up to 9/11

marinara says...

Amazing testimony.
What's harder to believe, 9/11 or that the leading CIA asset for Iraq and whatever else was delusional?
I could believe that Hobo john malkovich was delusional, however.
*promote and thank you!

Treatise on Morality

jmzero says...

I like his basic utilitarianism, but I think he's off a bit in the terms he's maximizing. I'd say that an ethical choice maximizes the fulfillment of weighted preferences among involved parties. Why preferences? Some people like suffering. Some people may not like suffering, but may choose suffering (for example, they might choose to lose a leg to save a tree.. or something). I believe it's ethical to allow them that choice, that preference. In another case, some people would object to, say, having to take a happy pill, even if it truly made them happy and satisfied. I don't think there's any reason they should have to. It's a small quibble, but important in some cases, I think.

And, to be clear, pretty much everyone is a utilitarian when it comes to an actual ethical dilemma. Jesus recommended pulling an ox out of a mire on the Sabbath. This is a utilitarian resolution to a conflict between rules. Pretty much anyone who claims to be, at root, deontological (such as someone who follows a religious code) is going to fall back to utilitarianism when a conflict arises. It's natural and, in my mind, right. And if you use utilitarianism to resolve conflicts, I think it's the "real" system.

On the flip side, while you can believe in utilitarianism as the true root of ethics, you can't effectively live that way because there are too many decisions and too many consequences to predict. Maybe punching a hobo is just the thing that will get him back on the road to life satisfaction. Maybe stealing a stapler and donating it to a charity is a net good. But you can't effectively live like that, and a society based on everyone making decisions in that way is not going to work - so you need to find personal rules of thumb that lead to a "good" (though not likely best) standard of ethics, and you need societal laws and norms that allow humans to interact in positive ways (while also allowing for exceptional actions when those actions will lead to better outcomes - like speeding to the hospital). So, for example, we have a rule of thumb that says "don't kill people, except in circumstances x, y and z" - and we live that way and don't have to further consider ethical questions about whether we should be killing people on a day to day basis. Unless we're the President. Or Dexter. But I suppose he has the code.

The other sad part is that this basic utilitarianism fails to address many of the ethical questions we actually have. For example, take abortion. The terms we're talking about - preferences, suffering, happiness - when do they kick in? I have my own thoughts on this, but we're out of the realm of "obvious philosophy people should be able to agree on". Similar problem with, say, terminating those in vegetative states. Who's preferences do we count, and how much? What does it mean to "be happy" for someone with minimal brain function?

But anyways, good thoughts in the video, even if I do think he took his time in getting to them.

Crunchy says...

Quote script doesn't seem to work...

Anyways, to quote luxury_pie "Going to jail to survive - only in America (and maybe some third-world country)"

We have that in scandinavia aswell, especially in winter times hobos tend to commit some petty crime like for instance smoke a cigarette in a shopping mall and without the possibility of paying the fine and as a repeat offender they might get a few months in jail

It's not what you say, it's how you say it

messenger says...

Actually I do get laid a lot. By blind hobo chicks.

No seriously. It's not cynical to think that a marketing corporation would abuse sentimentality for advertising, and even less surprising that they would do a bad job.>> ^Mindfuck:

You sure are quite cynical, I bet you get laid a lot.
>> ^messenger:
Puke. Fake sentimentality for viral marketing. That sign wouldn't work. It's the Amélie-type music that convinces us something deep and meaningful is coming. It's not. Here's a better sign: "I'd like to see my grandchildren. You can help." Or if he's beyond medical help: "You can help me save for my independence."

"I'm divorced from it now." - because I got rich and now can afford to be. Show me someone w/o amazing talent that got that divorce, and I'll show you a guy that lives in a van down by the river.

Please, tell us your pay scale so we can respond appropriately. Me, myself, I'm at a satisfactory low-middle class income.


Same.
I guess my beef is he claims to have divorced himself from the rat race and is laughing at those of us still in it. A luxury few can afford. If he was at our income level and did this, he'd be the crazy hobo everyone avoids.
I'm a happy person myself, not very materialistic, but I do feel that until I throw in the towel and become a hobo, I'll always be a part of this downward slope of humanity. I am, willing or no, a part of this system. It makes me feel spiritially guilty that I keep going to work everyday, but I do and the material things make me feel better about it, (let's be honest here).
The people who call me a fool are either independantly wealthy, young with a parental fallback, or bums prattling as I walk by. Occasionally I see a nomadic guy near my age that sems to have it all in hand, but so far every one has had some base income to keep him afloat.

>> ^GDGD:

Is it okay to be pissed that this will not actually be a major motion picture?

Hey, you never know. Between Machete, Hobo with a Shotgun, and that Clown fake trailer that they're apparently making into a real movie, I wouldn't be surprised if we actually saw this movie in a couple of years.

KnivesOut says...

Disagree. That clip is not nearly as graphic and has 10x the production value. There is no "pussy in mouth" because you don't see any of the bits. There aren't even nipples (to my disappointment.)

So would a snuff film be allowable if it had a happy ending? Or if there was some comedy in the process of murdering the hobo? No, it's disqualified by the presence of this objectionable content, not qualified by the presence of something redeeming.
>> ^gwiz665:

...
Does that belong? Pussy in mouth isn't much "better".

It irritates the shit out of me when people have a clip of a window that gets covered in blood splatter.


Maybe the bullet went into the car frame, just missing the window while the splatter well, splattered.

Out of all the problems splatter-on-a-window type movies have, this one is usually low on my priority list...
