    cool, thanks m_s. yea good and evil are subjective, a semantic argument can be made that everything is subjective but that line of existential reasoning doesn't interest me. from a purely scientific stance, we are beings of order. from biology to sociology, humanity and even life itself is moving along a trend of becoming more and more orderly ie more complex. from a single celled organism to the mess we are today, saying we are beings of entropy is just wrong. life itself is the miraculous order out of the chaos. remind anyone of the first bit in the book of genesis? this is where the spirituality comes in, the divine probability of it all. one day billions of years ago the simplest form of life organized itself and through the goodness inherent in life itself has become ever increasingly more complex. complexity=order, the dead void of space=entropy. 'life is good' is the only subjective value judgement i'm willing to make here, everything else is just science. evil or badness is that which is conducive to a decrease in complexity or order. on a personal level think the ten commandments, on a universal level think black holes which rip apart matter into it's most basic components. as for a formula for evil, cmon now this is a theological discussion, lines get blurred, you gotta be flexable. the tenet that life is good is the only presumption here, the rest is basic natural science. order=life chaos=death good and evil are too simple to warrant some kind of complicated formula. its all pretty simple really

    • I think its more simple then that.
      Good and evil is a force. You have a duality like male and female. each has its own quality, attributes and characteristics.      yurimon
    • At the same time you have good and evil with each having its on quality, attributes and characteristics. However it is only within the scope of our ownyurimon
    • nice rant. i would certify you.

    • experience or reality or consciousness.
      good and evil has energetic attributes as well. so i dont see how you transmute the opposite thing to what you are sayn      yurimon
    • yuri what your saying sounds quite egocentric to me. as humans we tend to think our free will is more consequential than it is. that somehow the evil we are cap

    • -able of is anything more than introducing entropy into the societal order and nothing more. life is good and life will go on with or without us egotists

    • You should study other works. like kabalah in how they interpret things. pretty interesting.yurimon
    • Ya man. kabalah's trending now. even madona's in there too.pango
    • its 5000k old system. c young archetype system comes directly from it. other modern concepts you take for granted. typical Kim Kardashian type response from u.yurimon
    • is how old of an system relevant to how true it is? it just means its old and might have influenced other believes. but if it's not valid from the beginning.pango
    • it's not valid today.pango
    • how come its not valid if its concepts contently being adapted or borrowed from? you dont even know what it is and speak from the anusyurimon
    • I prefer the pizza version though.
