Sounds more like a perfected introversion to me. Which nothing wrong with it, I'm an introvert and can understand. I spend a lot of time talking about the differences with my extroverted associates and it sounds like they are easily more offended by everything by default, regardless if it is directed to them or not. There are positive reasons for this, but not relevant here.

But... Would you kill a man?

Maybe. I'm also very flexible in applying ethical concepts. There is an old German proverb that goes like this:

"Laws are for people who cannot behave".

I live by a strict codex. And i don't like inconsistence and inconsequence as attributes or character traits anyway. So if it was personal and i had consistent and verified evidence... Yeah. Possibly i would.

This never occurred to me, because i never needed to actually think about it. Most people are numb enough to contradict or rebut themselves sooner or later, so i never "felt" the need to. It rather has been a question of patience for me so far.

But if i would do smth. like this, it of course would follow a strict plan. Not from impulse or emotions. So it definitely would be homicide not manslaughter. And i possibly would spend a lot of energy into the plan to secure multiple tactical options and make very sure, i wouldn't get caught.

Very good, the logical introvert. However I do not believe you mean this:

I'm also very flexible in applying ethical concepts.

Sounds like your morals are grounded, thus any application of ethics is logical and/ors that lead to yes or no. I might be wrong, you could be talking out of your ass, true moral groundness can really only be found in predetermine rules, such as in the christian bible. But fanaticism to ideals, such as codes like bushido or a guild doctrine also can work.

Maybe, tiny chance, we could be friends. But there are no friends on the internet.

Further food. When someone says something that contradicts your morals, you might say "I would rather die than follow" that. But would you say "I would rather kill than follow that".

Well, Sung Tzu teaches that attack always is costly and the goal of every fight or war is peace, at last. Which is a mostly forgotten fact for me.

I'm doing very well in my life so far by thinking defensive first, first and first. Then letting people around me pull off their bs. The laughs they produce with this kind of self-contradiction are always free and sometimes even interesting. I don't know, if i'd ever actually attack sme at all. Because this could be very costly, not even only the risk but also the mental energy that has to go in an attack plan that has a chance to succeed.

This concept i implemented is rather an energy concept than a moral one.

The problem I have with Sung Tzu is that he is often used in business tactics also. It is common in the high power managerial world to be referenced. But business and war do not apply to morals. For example, here where I live, you either take an experimental injection, or lose your job. Many many people took the injection, because they couldn't afford to lose their jobs, posting pictures of them taking it with signs saying "I was coerced" and the like. They didn't attack anything at all and lost the entire moral battle. Those of us that lost our jobs, won the moral battle. But both are victories and both are loses, but which one will triumph in the long run?

I am a big fan of defence, as I am societal isolationist, but you can not win any fight if you're only blocking. A fort is useless unless you can attack from it.

This concept i implemented is rather an energy concept

Dont be lazy.

My concept in this goes like this: Rather build smthg small, new and consistent with your own tools, skills and moral metrics. Because only bs basically needs marketing.

Really well done concept sell themselves. It's a trust dilemma. As is money itself.

That is why my group omits a lot of people when they don't pass certain hidden tests.

Yep, good concepts are good. In a good world, with good people. Try to sell wisdom in a land of retards and you wont go far. Land of retards = every one everywhere at the time of writing.

Oh oh oooohhhhhh. I want to do a test. Test me. Test me. I'm CONSTANTLY judging and cataloging data on people, always. I want to be judged and catalogued.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (14 children)

This only works when we meet face-to-face. It's a requirement. And i'm not collecting data because i don't need to. It is very simple, as a fact.

You can lose valuable resources if you don't take the time to sift through the brain damage on the internet. You might even miss out on true love. Or very bad for your health love.

I hate every one too much these days that I don't get out in public much anymore. So not testing for me. Anyway, I would pass, because I am the best and my standards are the best and every one else's standards are not, therefore, I pass.

You believe you are something so you stopped becoming something. I can respect that. And i dig through a lot of bs people produce. But the real gold, the things of an actual value, i keep hidden.

That's my nature, my inner core.
