[QUOTE="John Cracovizk, post: 1898, member: 45"] Yea, ofc. I would probably continue to write about people's tendency to want to govern the world and impose their ideas about what is best for everyone. But I would use Dorian Gray's phrase to point that this is immoral and that good intentions do not always lead to positive results... Of course I do not fully agree with the phrase, since weighting positive influences[I][COLOR=rgb(163, 143, 132)] (such as studying)[/COLOR][/I] with negative influences [I][COLOR=rgb(163, 143, 132)](using drugs)[/COLOR][/I] is illogical to me... You can do that if you want to, but you have no duty and no responsability with society or anyone else. Stoicism as a philosophy that recognizes and accepts reality as it is, without trying to change or control it, emphasizes a lot the importance of living in accordance with nature and understanding that the world follows a determined plan... I would also addresses the formation of groups and gangs as an expression of human tribal instincts and I would advocate for a selfish approach to life, prioritizing individual well-being. Finally, highlight the importance of emotional and social intelligence for navigating society [I][COLOR=rgb(163, 143, 132)](maybe writing more about the Maskpill)[/COLOR][/I]. Basically, this thread would advocate for a rational selfishness. [/QUOTE]
