True but, what prompted that reaction from the user?Spiral Out wrote: The environment is not the key factor. The key factor is the user's reaction to the environment. This is the basis of responsibility.
The argument basically boils down to response verses stimuli. The stimuli being the environment and the response being the reaction to the environment. The stimuli is what invokes the response, therefore it's the origin. Anyone can be made to react the same as others. We are nothing more than our accumulated experiences.Spiral Out wrote:What would the "demand for the demand" be?Chriscross wrote:To eliminate the demand we have to eliminate the demand for the demand.
I'm agnostic but this is a good example of my reasoning from Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz
1. There would be no world at all if God had not chosen to create a world. 2. The “principle of sufficient reason” says that when there is more than one alternative, there must be an explanation for why one is the case rather than another. 3. In the case of God’s choosing a particular world to create, the explanation must necessarily be found in the attributes of God himself, since there was nothing else around at the time. 4. Because God is both all-powerful and morally perfect, he must have created the best possible world. If you think about it, under the circumstances it was the only possible world. Being all-powerful and morally perfect, God could not have created a world that wasn’t the best.
Given someones life experiences and what they were taught. Their reaction is the only possible reaction if, it was any different it wouldn't be the same person. To me it always comes down to stimuli, the question is just how far back you want to go.
