But who will win in a fight?
Example: To me the culture of the Yupik people is far superior than the White American Culture.
"Superior" or "inferior" or "better" or "worse" are all individual judgements.
And I fully support the right of the individual to make such judgements.
The only problem I have is when said individual tries to force his/her view on others (unwilling others). Particularly when said force involves splatting said others (unwilling) because they are unwilling and others.
The problem I have with Marlowe (and those like him) is that they confuse the ability to apply such force with the "moral" "justification" to apply such force.
Translation: Because we CAN kick your ass, it is RIGHT that we SHOULD kick your ass if you ever even THINK of doing something WE do not APPROVE of.
Of course, it is never phrased in that manner. We are always "saving" the "savages" or "civilizing" them or whatever.
The "morality" of the bully.
"Morality" cannot be defined in military strength or effectiveness or by numbering your dead/defeated opponents.
Well, the ABSENCE or "morality" can be defined thus.
Outside of a religious structure, where do morals come from? And I'm still taking the view that your morals are the lines you will not cross, not what you claim.
Might makes Right is very popular with certain individuals as it produces immediate benefits......while they're at the top of the food chain. It's easy to see how this can be someone's "moral" principle.
But where do the other, more complex, morals come from?
