Verdance he/him Posted April 30 Posted April 30 less philosophy and more civics and psychology lol what gets really interested is how human experience has us interpret objective morality differently

No one disputes this, but that wasn't my question. My basic premise is that while different the letter and spirit of the law do not conflict and a truly lawful person will obey both of them. Therefore the Knight Radiant quiz question asking you to choose between them is wrong.
NerdSandwich she/her Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Yeah, that's what I meant when I said that the question seemed flawed. I didn't mean to imply that that was why the question was wrong, but rather reasoning as to why I put Spirit of the Law.

Because there are laws out there that are definitively morally wrong. Edited April 30 by Verdance

Can't quite tell That's interesting because if anything Truthwatchers are the order I relate to the least; while I don't think lying is good, I can very much sympathise with people who do. From what we've seen of the order so far, they focus a lot on the fact people are lying rather than what caused them to do so. 1 hour ago, NerdSandwich said: HEY GUYS IS THAT A POTATO? *catches the POTATO*
Through The Living Star She/Her Posted April 30 Posted April 30 NO GUYS DON'T REVERT BACK TO THE POTATO DAYS!
Ink and Embers Any pronouns Posted April 30 Posted April 30 I thought they were the POTATO days? Did someone steal the bolding?
Through The Living Star She/Her Posted April 30 Posted April 30 No, that's on me, I just forgot to do it.
NerdSandwich she/her Posted April 30 Posted April 30 (edited) No they were the POTATO days. Well now they are Edited April 30 by NerdSandwich
Ink and Embers Any pronouns Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Oh well. I steal the bold from the POTATO, rendering it a POTATO
NerdSandwich she/her Posted April 30 Posted April 30 I put the rightfully deserved bold back on the POTATO.

NerdSandwich she/her Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Eh true. Let's talk about the tastiest part of a chicken
Frustration Posted April 30 Posted April 30 1 hour ago, Verdance said: interesting. do you mean philosophically or practically? Because there are laws out there that are definitively morally wrong. That comes down to how we define a law. Personally I don't think someone with a big stick saying that something is a law makes it a law.
Verdance he/him Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Just now, Frustration said: That comes down to how we define a law. Personally I don't think someone with a big stick saying that something is a law makes it a law. so what do you define as the letter of the law?
Frustration Posted April 30 Posted April 30 1 minute ago, Verdance said: so what do you define as the letter of the law? The same way anyone else does, the letter is the exact writing of the law. I just have an interesting view as to what writings are law and what aren't. My full definition on that would be a long post about justification, concent and governance where I would explain how the only justifiable systems of government are theorcacies(or at least partially theocratic), or anarchy. However as that's highly political I'll refrain from doing so here. 1
NerdSandwich she/her Posted April 30 Posted April 30 HIIIII I WIN AND I EAT LUNCH SO I IS NOT HUNGWY YAAAAY
CoderDrag0n8 He/They Posted May 1 Posted May 1 12 hours ago, Frustration said: Indeed, however can you not also keep the spirit of the law while violating the letter? I do ask why you seemingly avoided the question. Which would you choose to abide by on the fringe cases, the letter or the spirit? Think about all the times Skybreakers and Windrunners clash in SA. I think that is really the big divider there. Yeah, the spirit and the letter say 'dont murder' but in the fringe cases where they don't neccassarially agree, which would you choose to abide by? 10 hours ago, Frustration said: No one disputes this, but that wasn't my question.

Therefore the Knight Radiant quiz question asking you to choose between them is wrong. See, I understand that, but again, sometimes they conflict. Then, which will you choose?
