How Can People Kill Another Human So Easily?

Kill! Kill! Kill somebody!
Take a deep breath, grab a knife and just do iiiitttt

 

Alrighty, no rush! (its a forum happily, not a chat room)

I thought I recalled from earlier convos you roughly shared my thoughts on what evil is (a human concept with generally supernatural connotations for bad or harmful thoughts, actions or whole beings). I personally think no person is evil as a whole. That will always remain an inaccurate description for someones being.

Btw: I don't mean this in a moral way, like 'there's good in every person'. I mean that its essentially a wrong definition altogether. If we take the word evil literally i have little use for it in reality.

 

A few years ago I read a book by a guy who was deaf in one ear and had an ear implant, which apparently was different than a hearing aid.. Maybe it's called a cochlear implant or something like that but I digress...

The book was essentially a futurism book and a lot of the burgeoning tech discussed was already in development, the author projected how he saw the tech might be put to use in the future. One of the parts talked about chips that essentially would allow for telepathic conversation and a quite literal hive mind. He did mention potential applications in law enforcement.

I found it all quite frightening and as someone who values autonomy and mostly distrusts authority, I think by default it is more evil.

 

A little knife poem I wrote some years ago.

Notch you/shank skank, Familiar Evil.

 

It gets easier the more you do it. I've only murdered about 54 people in my life. Sometimes you just get bored and need something interesting and amusing to do. I don't know what the fuss is all about. Its just death, so what.

 

And that is indeed
Total darkness!

 

There are many ways to adequately defend such a hobby if we would simply abide by the right of the strongest/law of the jungle.

It can be put people who adhere to such another set of principles are simply stigmatised as 'evil' by those who prefer what is now (perhaps misleadingly!) called natural law.
As put: the term evil is often merely a substitute for bad or harmful actions, thoughts or beings (especially when its experienced as unreasonable bad or harmful)

 

i just came across a video on pornhub like 2 days ago that, as far as i could tell from the preview, consisted entirely of a guy wrapping a woman in several layers of tape to turn her into a mummy.

i'm not sure if this is an established fetish that i'm not aware of, or if this is the kind of innovation that is brought on by quarantine boredom.

i don't have a problem with hunting in concept, as long as the animals are being used and not just killed for the fun of it and left to rot. all i'm saying is i don't understand why people enjoy doing it.

i know all too well that living in a small town there's not much to do with your time. but when i have a day off, the last thing i want to do is get up in the middle of the night to go freeze my ass off while sitting motionless for hours, just in the hopes that i might get an opportunity to kill a living thing.

 

Yeah mummification kink is legit lol.

 

With these stay home orders, advisories, and quarantines people are starting to run out of new ideas to keep themselves entertained so why not a mummy fetish.

I've got the Mummy Trilogy movies on DVD with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz so I kinda get it.

 

there was a third one? or is that just the scorpion king?

 

No there was a third one with Jet Li

 

Seems like people use the term evil when they want to label someone or something that threatens and scares them on a deep level that they don't understand. They don't understand why people murder, rape, or torture so its far easier to label such people as evil than try to understand them. Listen to them from a detached perspective.

Stumbled upon this quote not long ago: "If we could see without the distorting influence of ego, everything would appear as it is, perfect." - William Blake

 

I've always defended the "evil people" serial killers etc. I just think that, like who is anybody to seriously tell me or anybody humans are not dangerous or shouldn't be capable of committing such atrocity?

I mean there's not just laws, there's religious commandments about it so that tells me that thousands of years ago people were cracking each other's skulls and committing heinous acts from the get go of human civilisation. We're an omnivore species, a predator, a survivalist. Of course we hunt and kill. That's what predators do and the common belief is we derived from animals right? Well monkeys eat meat. Monkeys kill one another. Monkeys war. Monkeys rape.

Why is decided that we are meant to be any different? It's just monkey business.

 

I view it like Evil is to Bad as Great is to Good


I was being a bit facetious with the hive mind example as being evil but I do think there are levels to morality, for instance, there is a notable difference between someone stealing something and someone chopping up a victim to pieces and using their skull as a chair end cap. Some immoral acts can be justified circumstantially such as the soldier kill or stealing as where immoral evil acts devolve into those without justification.

 

But the only justification for us not to kill anybody is because God said it was a sin and that has set the tone for thousands of years now. If man didn't invent religion... People always say the world would be better but I highly question that logic. Religion turned us somewhat humane in a way, at least when Jehova came on the scene. Before that, nobody gave a fuck. We were cooking people in steel bulls and impaling folks onto sticks. God said that was totally uncool, we shouldn't be doing that.

 

There is something to be said about religion providing a structure for morality, which even I, as someone who is not all that fond of religion cannot really say for certain that society would have progressed in the way it did without it. However, I think being a social species, a sense of morality is innate in us and given where we are now, we can get along with something like a secular type of Categorical Imperative.

 

I think religion has done wonders for the world and not even in the terms of human progression but it's the other things you don't really think about such as architecture that has played significant importance in religion.

Like yeah we may or may not be the same people today, we can question that until the cows come home but step back and actually think about it for a second... All those cathedrals millions and millions of people flock the world to admire in their beauty and creation.... Is all gone without religion. From the ancient historic places to artifacts, temples and statues, stone circles, pyramids.. all are significant to human religion and they're the types of architecture that makes you sit back and understand how awesome we are..

On the flip side we could have totally reinvented architecture and be living in the futurama type world and even that I think wouldn't even be as cool as what we've accomplished.

On the double flip side a lot of those structures were built under slavery and horrendous conditions, akin to the subject of evil...

 

Didn't Kane kill Abel in the bible? if yes the why did "God" allow for such a sin to happen, I mean surely someone who created the universe in six days would have the foresight and perspective to know which path this would lead mankind (yes Trudeu I know it's peoplekind but I don't give a shit) down.
