• Are morals necessarily empathic and not logical?

  Can we logically conclude what is morally right and wrong without empathy?

  I feel like what is morally right and wrong is logical and doesn't necessitate empathy, but maybe I'm still starting from an empathetical framework.

  For example, I understand that it is morally wrong to enslave, exploit, and slaughter animals for our taste pleasure (people eat plant based and are perfectly healthy, so eating animals is not necessary for health), entertainment, etc.

  However, I don't care about animals. I have no empathy for them. So I feel like it's a logical conclusion, not an empathic conclusion.

  Then again, I am basing my moral reasoning, I suppose, from my empathy toward fellow humans.

  So is empathy a necessary factor for concluding what is morally right and wrong?

  Can a society of sociopaths conclude what is morally right and wrong through philosophical discussions, despite not personally caring?

  Granted, empathy is an evolutionary trait that helped societies survive in the first place so a society of sociopaths would not survive.

  Or could they? Could they understand moral right and wrong, perhaps not actually care, but for the good of the society, abide by the rules?

• Does infinity vanish when you can go anywhere in the universe?

  Let’s say we invent warp drive that allows you to move almost instantaneously. You can visit any planet in the universe. Do you eventually go everywhere destroying the concept of infinity or do you just never stop?

• Philosophy: would you consider a satanic being, a sadist, crazy?

  Let's say there is a Holy God and an enemy called "the devil" by many. That being would surely be an extreme sadist. My beliefs are that satan has power more so than anyone cares to admit. And that he uses this preternatural power to mutilate man in hell. (I'm a dystheist; I don't believe in a Holy Father type of God. I believe he is truly saidistically ruthless as hell. And omnipotent and eternal.)

  Would you consider satan, whether he be god himself, or an adversary of a Good God, would this supernatural sadist be crazy? Can sadists be called crazy, or are they just pure evil?

  (The DSM doesn't include Sadistic Personality Disorder, but the ICD 10 does.)

  Also, I ask here because I know I will not recieve real answers in R&S. Just people saying he doesn't exist or that I need religion (because of my dystheism). But my dystheism isn't resentment or a delusion or rebellion. It's based in reality.

• Why do we value intelligence over looks? ?

  People always say things along the lines of "I don't care about my looks, I value my intelligence". I have a friend who actually says he only makes friends with people he thinks are intelligent. As if that is a measure of someone's character... How is this any better than vanity? Why do we look down on people of "lower" intelligence? How does intelligence make someone more valuable or admirable (whereas we criticize those who value and admire good looks)? Put plainly... what's wrong with stupid people? How does being smarter or more educated make you better? I think intelligence has a lot more to do with your upbringing, financial privilege, mental health, family background, "natural intelligence", etc. (things you can't really control) and less to do with your personal qualities or morals... I don't get it.��

• i'm confused.  i don't know what's going on.  what's life about?

  if you live life.  what's the point of life.  the people you impress may be part of your virtual reality world.  if you are in a real world.  then there are big problems in the real world.  if this world is an illusion.  a fake reality.  then what purpose do you have to fulfill any destiny.  and if this world is real - why are we so self centered that we think we should get everything our way.  when eventually it'll terminate.  you can be rich like amazon founder and you'll die.  you can be the average joe and resent people for many varieties of reason.  who's to say any of this matters.  we all want to be happy.  but it seem for me - my sadness is that people don't like me.  i can't make my self more likable and fun.  i'm just tired and on meds.
