Violet (ataraxia.azemus): hehe
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): /me pats Boxy's head
boxy (alfred.kelberry): :)
Calvino Rabeni: I would like to confess ... the topic for today is Conscience, and I did not write any homework for it, and I felt that was "Wrong" but, ... did it anyway now feel a sense of remorse . :)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): You have a conscience then Cal :p
Fizakaal Wei: no judgements, Calvino :)
Mickorod Renard: I am sure we can just follow threads
Gaya Ethaniel: [back & reading]
Gaya Ethaniel: heheh Cal
Mickorod Renard: my conscience seems such a burden sometimes, it holds me back so much from being ruthless
Gaya Ethaniel: ?
boxy (alfred.kelberry): mick, like going to a nude beach? :)
JS Saltwater: no that's clotheslessness
Mickorod Renard: well, not so much that, that is my lack of confidence
Mickorod Renard: well, lack of something
Gaya Ethaniel: Well give us an example of being ruthless Mick?
Liza Deischer: hmmmm, what is conscience
Mickorod Renard: well, maybe strong words, but I was relating to how I feel I could have been more successful had I been less prone to conscience
JS Saltwater: (should I register on the forum site and be reading the posts there in order to participate here now?]
Calvino Rabeni: No rule, JS, but it would help
Violet (ataraxia.azemus): Hi Fox
JS Saltwater: k thx
Gaya Ethaniel: Sorry to ask another question ... what kind of success do you mean Mick?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Foxy :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Hello Fox :)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Now we have Boxy and Foxy
Fox Monacular: Hi everyone:)
Violet (ataraxia.azemus): heheh
Liza Deischer: hi Fox
boxy (alfred.kelberry): mick, regret?
Mickorod Renard: There is a trend in that to be more successful say at work, one could be more selfish and not consider others
Liza Deischer: is that consciousness
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Fox :)
Fox Monacular: :) Eliza
Mickorod Renard: HI Fox
Eliza Madrigal: Seems a false premise Mick... or maybe it depends on what success would be
Mickorod Renard: well, i was just trying to get us started
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Go for it Mick
Mickorod Renard: :)
Gaya Ethaniel: :)
boxy (alfred.kelberry): eliza, i think it's related
Eliza Madrigal: yes?
Fizakaal Wei: to me conciousness is having the ability to ask yourself if you have consciousness
Mickorod Renard: well, wanting to do the right thing instead of just playing statistics
Mickorod Renard: I could lie and cheat and get on very well
Violet (ataraxia.azemus): I have to duck out early today...my conscience is telling me I have too much work to do :)
Mickorod Renard: :)
Violet (ataraxia.azemus): Be well, everyone :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Bye Atari :)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Take care Atari
Eliza Madrigal: Bye Violet, nice to see you
boxy (alfred.kelberry): maybe it's a boundary of how far you can go in order to please yourself
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Aph
Gaya Ethaniel: Hello Aphrodite :)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): And hello Aphro
Aphrodite Macbain: Hello!
Mickorod Renard: thats a good way to see it Alf
Mickorod Renard: Hi Aph
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Mck
Eliza Madrigal: hm, but could you really, Mick... you could ignore the feeling that 'i don't like this' for a time, but it may bite you later... or get bitten now and take some solace in that, hah
Mickorod Renard: exactly, istnt that having a concience though..
Mickorod Renard: I am talking about something more than being found out
Mickorod Renard: its about knowing yourself
Eliza Madrigal: /me nods
JS Saltwater: makes me think of the line "Character is what you are in the dark"
Mickorod Renard: and living with that knowledge
Liza Deischer: nice line :)
boxy (alfred.kelberry): it's an application of conscience, eliza. in case of mick, he wouldn't say undermine a colleague at work to gain some career points.
JS Saltwater: Is conscience something different from the "internalized surveillance" that Foucault talks about?
Aphrodite Macbain: Does everyone agree that a conscience is something that is learned; that it's not innate?
Liza Deischer: sorry I don't know Foucault.....
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): I know his pendulum...
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Mickorod Renard: I was thinking it was on those lines JS
JS Saltwater: the other one
boxy (alfred.kelberry): aph, yes
JS Saltwater: Michel Foucault
Fox Monacular: there are probably elements of social/cultural control... too.. internalized surveillance and also a superego
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Sorry, didn't know there was one
JS Saltwater: on the innate question - hmm
Fox Monacular: perhaps there are layers... of internalising?
Aphrodite Macbain: yes, films, books etc reinforce those values that then effect our conscience
Fox Monacular: 'repressive hypothesis'
boxy (alfred.kelberry): there are only instincts innately
Aphrodite Macbain: along with our parents, the chirch, our teachers, our friends
JS Saltwater: but maybe a mechanism for a conscience to form in is innate?
Eliza Madrigal: /me nods.. what I would tend toward
Mickorod Renard: I have mused with these feelings, even questioning whether I shroud my exterior softness with names like right and having a conscience, but maybe I am too cowardly to be ruthless?
Aphrodite Macbain: our cerebral cortex/memory
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Or too nice Mick
JS Saltwater: probably just an offshoot of humans' socially constructed self, the internalised other
Aphrodite Macbain: exterior softness... nice
JS Saltwater: the "admonitory voices" Julian Jaynes talks about
Aphrodite Macbain: yes JS
Fox Monacular: internalized other... yes I was thinking something similar
JS Saltwater: (sorry, stream of conscience :-)
Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: haha
Fox Monacular: :)
boxy (alfred.kelberry): :)
Aphrodite Macbain: mine is a torrent
Calvino Rabeni: Reading Eliza's report I reflected on how much courage it would take to act more on conscience, .. both to protect the soft heart, and to face the conditions in the world that seem wrong.. so there seems needed both softness and the "roar of a lion"
Aphrodite Macbain: What "pricks" our conscience?
Aphrodite Macbain: how would it protect our soft heart?
Mickorod Renard: knowing something is right gives you the courage
Eliza Madrigal: well act on conscience in a way that didn't project onto others seems the tricky part
JS Saltwater: good observation Cal, conscience is (ideally) the loving force that has to act with power to have effect, perhaps?
Aphrodite Macbain: yes, one person's bad is another persons ok
JS Saltwater: yes the "knowing something is right" bit makes me nervous Mick
Calvino Rabeni: Or one person's bad is another person's bad-but-numb
Aphrodite Macbain: me too JS
Gaya Ethaniel: Say more JS?
Mickorod Renard: true, there are often two sides of a coin
JS Saltwater: many clearly wrong people have known they were right
boxy (alfred.kelberry): mick, being ruthless against your nature is not productive. eventually, it'll bring more harm and stress than regret about past soft times.
Eliza Madrigal: 'good intentions'
Aphrodite Macbain: or sometimes more sides
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Indeed Alf
Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Mickorod Renard: yes Alf
Eliza Madrigal: so 'one's own hot spot' seems key to me in considering conscience
Mickorod Renard: I am just envious of those who are able to shrug off conscience
boxy (alfred.kelberry): first step would be to embrace yourself as you are :)
Liza Deischer: /me wonders if Ghadaffi has a consience
Eliza Madrigal: :) Alf
Aphrodite Macbain: Those without a conscience would be psychotic, wouldn
JS Saltwater: Mick, rationalization and sociopathy arent that enviable :)
Aphrodite Macbain: t they?
Mickorod Renard: I try, but it hurts
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Unlikely Liza
Gaya Ethaniel: :)
Fizakaal Wei: need to go people, thank you
Mickorod Renard: bye Fiz
Eliza Madrigal: Thanks Fiz
JS Saltwater: see ya Fiz
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): C ya Fiz
Eliza Madrigal: we say they don't have a conscience, but more likely is that it is horribly deadened, potential not cared for?
Liza Deischer: I'm not so sure, is it lack of consious or is it about having the wrong impression.....
Aphrodite Macbain: Bye
Aphrodite Macbain: Bye! Fizakaal
Mickorod Renard: i like equanimity
Mickorod Renard: that poses questions
Aphrodite Macbain: ??
Eliza Madrigal: equanimity seemed to come up a lot for me thinking about this, too
Mickorod Renard: in relation to conscience
Aphrodite Macbain: finding a balance means being open minded to new concepts
Eliza Madrigal: /me listens, mick...
Gaya Ethaniel: Bye Fizakaal :)
boxy (alfred.kelberry): mick, think of all the wonderful things you could do in the time when you just sit and envy :)
Mickorod Renard: trying to find the right path through all these thoughts is hard
Calvino Rabeni: One thing that confuses people, is when others are acting according to a different and not well understood set of values .. their acts of conscience may be according to different rules .. not sure if it applies to dictators like Ghadaffi, but it might.
Aphrodite Macbain: maybe there isn't a "right" path
Mickorod Renard: yes Alf, I am quick to move on when I recognise the feelings
Mickorod Renard: yes Cal
Eliza Madrigal: yes I was thinking about Dao's report of jury duty... and how I can stand for hours in a cereal aisle thinking of pros and cons to each... how obvious I have to let things become before action
Aphrodite Macbain: I wonder what Ghadaffi uses to justify what he has done
Liza Deischer: the set of values detict the conscience
boxy (alfred.kelberry): mick, then i see no problem there :)
Eliza Madrigal: so hesitant to be 'sure'
Liza Deischer: oh, if you listen to his arguments........ I think he really thinks he's right
Mickorod Renard: and this too could apply to say a budhist monk who passes through life and doesnt act when seeing things that we may act from conscience?
JS Saltwater: good observation Eliza
boxy (alfred.kelberry): aph, his conscience and the sense of reality have shifted to some unknown realms
Eliza Madrigal: being authority and ruler IS all, for some of these dictators...
Aphrodite Macbain: we often make snap judgements without weighing thngs at all
JS Saltwater: it's the patriarchal imperative run amok
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): True
Aphrodite Macbain: true boxy
Eliza Madrigal: there is nothing else and anything that bumps up against it has to be supressed
Gaya Ethaniel: Well it can be a relief to just buy a bag of porridge oats :P
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): It can if you're scottish
Liza Deischer: even dictators needs justifications for their acts
Mickorod Renard: it must come down to values, and these are different to different people
Aphrodite Macbain: So. saying someone has a conscience may not indicate that his moral justifications are the same as ours
Eliza Madrigal: :) Yes... that's the thing, eventually I make myself grab something... but am I 'sure'? is it 'clear'? sooo rare
Calvino Rabeni: The people of most countries, I guess as an average, seem to want "tough" leaders.. at least a lot of them want that in a leader
Liza Deischer: maybe being conscious is linked with justification
Calvino Rabeni: and they want something different in a spiritual leader
Gaya Ethaniel: Hello Zen :)
Calvino Rabeni: than in a political executive
Mickorod Renard: Hi Zen
JS Saltwater: Dictators usually think they are the over-father and that justifies their acts, like the guy in The Shining
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Zen
Aphrodite Macbain: they want someone to think and act for them usually
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Yo Zen
boxy (alfred.kelberry): imagine a person who has been a sole ruler of the state for 30 years and never heard "no" in his life
Liza Deischer: not in Tibet Cal :)
Mickorod Renard: the uberman
Eliza Madrigal: /me nods JS...
Aphrodite Macbain: ubermensch
Zen (zen.arado): Hi all sorry for lateness
JS Saltwater: "Father Knows Best" with security prisons
boxy (alfred.kelberry): zen :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Zen
Liza Deischer: hi Zen
Eliza Madrigal: well authority, in some paradigms, comes from god and that's it...
Mickorod Renard: I sometimes thingk about Ayne Rand..who said something about humans being split between the higher order and the ones who are like cows in the field
Aphrodite Macbain: Eliza- apparently most of our decisions are made quickly without much thought- a form of prejudice
Calvino Rabeni: When a spiritual leader .. for instance a roshi, has a sexual scandal, there is so much outrage .. it makes me think people are "outsourcing" their moral thinking to the leader, and disappointed and scared when the leader doesn't live up to the expectation, scared perhaps of their own freedom if it comes with moral responsibility
JS Saltwater: I need to run, folks, but thx for letting me crash the convo. Hope to be back for the next one.
boxy (alfred.kelberry): i'd say that gaddafi and people alike are beyond of scope of our understanding :)
Mickorod Renard: bye JS
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Bye JS
Gaya Ethaniel: Thanks for coming JS :)
Calvino Rabeni: So long, JS
Eliza Madrigal: bye JS
JS Saltwater: ty all
Aphrodite Macbain: outsourcing....hmm
Gaya Ethaniel: Still thinking about you mentioning equanimity here Mick ...
Mickorod Renard: :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Want to say a bit more?
Eliza Madrigal: agree Cal... very easy to pedestalize
Mickorod Renard: only that is a struggle for me to ,,whats the word,,,reconcile that
Aphrodite Macbain: pygmalion
Zen (zen.arado): setting people up to be more pure than us
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: we need our heros
Calvino Rabeni: It also goes to show how much ethical and moral intelligence is collective and distributed, rather than encapsulated in each individual
Mickorod Renard: reconcile equanimity with caring and so forth
Aphrodite Macbain: yes- morality is societal and culural; not an absolute
Eliza Madrigal: a clear conscience would seem to be a calm waters one... but many have never tasted that perhaps
Mickorod Renard: the only way I can do it is to believe I am above the issues of the world
Calvino Rabeni: Religion tries to speak to aspirations as well as morality .. the Law tries to set a lower boundary on what's acceptable
Aphrodite Macbain: Ghaddafi has a clear conscience...
Liza Deischer: maybe consious kicks in when the water isn't that calm.....
Mickorod Renard: he is just tending his cattle
Aphrodite Macbain: zap!
Mickorod Renard: in his mind
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Moo
Aphrodite Macbain: the catle feel good if they obey
Calvino Rabeni: I think we refer to "conscience" as a kind of corrective signal when things are wrong -- thinking of the Lao Tzu quote in the homework report
Eliza Madrigal: mm, nods, sure
Aphrodite Macbain: /me makes a note to read again
Calvino Rabeni: but when things are smooth, it's just using a feeling sense for what's right .. these might be the same sensibilities
Zen (zen.arado): so where does it come from?
Zen (zen.arado): or did you cover that?
Aphrodite Macbain: brainwashing
Mickorod Renard: but if we were to profit greatly by turning a blind eye would our conscience be so strong?
Gaya Ethaniel: oh let me make a notecard sorry Zen ...
Aphrodite Macbain: I think not, it would still prick us
Aphrodite Macbain: Mick
Mickorod Renard: :)
Calvino Rabeni: But people like to pick their leaders / brainwashers and submit to them, seem to need it
boxy (alfred.kelberry): cal, conscience is a measure of what's right
Aphrodite Macbain: It becomes a conditioned response like anything else
Aphrodite Macbain: I must go and call my mother. I haven
Mickorod Renard: you can get embedded in concience, it can be holding back
Eliza Madrigal: :) Aph
Aphrodite Macbain: nt spoken to her for a few days..
Mickorod Renard: bye Aph
boxy (alfred.kelberry): aph :)
Liza Deischer: conscience isn't leaving by making bad decisions, it seems to be the moment that it kicks in, like an extra-internal feeling that comes from or is connected to........?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Take care Aph, bye
Aphrodite Macbain: Bye
Aphrodite Macbain: Bye! all, thank you
Calvino Rabeni: And when things are "just right" conscience doesn't speak, only when things seem to be getting off track .. that's probably the basis of the idea of "sin"
Eliza Madrigal: 'missing the mark'
Liza Deischer: right Cal
Calvino Rabeni: so conscience steps in when there is a conflict and decisions might need to be made
Zen (zen.arado): whre does the mark come from?
Calvino Rabeni: Tao
Calvino Rabeni: :) facile answer, sure
Mickorod Renard: the problem is,,,the world today is stretching the parametres of what traditionally has been right
Liza Deischer: good question Zen
Zen (zen.arado): the standard , the norm
Zen (zen.arado): ?
Calvino Rabeni: No zen
boxy (alfred.kelberry): mick, example please
Mickorod Renard: erm
Calvino Rabeni: the norm seems pretty "sinful" if you'll forgive me that term
Liza Deischer: nods at Mick
Mickorod Renard: cant think of a good example
Eliza Madrigal: I have a toothache, it is a sign that something was wrong with my tooth so I went through lots more pain to fix it... so the dull ache would go away... :) I also may be loopy and that have nothing to do with this...
Calvino Rabeni: Isn't there a common myth that all of humanity is "fallen" .. that is not really at peace with conscience?
Zen (zen.arado): you have to transgress something to feel guilty
Zen (zen.arado): original sin
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Agreed Zen :)
Eliza Madrigal: you have to transgress an 'other' perhaps
Zen (zen.arado): we are all rotten sinners but savable by grace is the Christian view
Eliza Madrigal: I don't think that's the only christian view... but the loudest
Zen (zen.arado): we can only feel guit in relation to others?
boxy (alfred.kelberry): cal, you always bring a theologic view :)
Liza Deischer: there is a series about slavery on CNN International; I guess 90 % of us will feel our conscious kicks in, but when we shop, we still want the best product for the best price....... so how extended is our conscience
Calvino Rabeni: This can't be reduced to simple rules .. I'd guess there are moral feelings arising out of pure delusion too, or out of hormonal states or brain damage, etc.
Zen (zen.arado): yeh E;liza
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Amen
Zen (zen.arado): :)
Mickorod Renard: well I am trying to do the right thing, but feel I am being left behind cos of my concience
Zen (zen.arado): ye must be born again
Zen (zen.arado): they say
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Hallelujah
Zen (zen.arado): I mustn't mock
Calvino Rabeni: So I bring in theology as much as neurophilosophy, I'd say, so that they can mutually correct each other
boxy (alfred.kelberry): praise the lord!
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): No, naughty boy
Eliza Madrigal: good point Liza... we make compromises all the time based on what we think our ability to choose otherwise is
boxy (alfred.kelberry): :P
Mickorod Renard: yea, I tried to stop child labour imports once
Calvino Rabeni: Good point Eliza
Zen (zen.arado): conscience isn't intellectual though - more of a feeling?
Eliza Madrigal: 'most men lead lives of quiet desperation'
Calvino Rabeni: No one I think, likes to torture themselves by taking on a personal or societal moral issue that feels intractable .. that could be a shifting line though,
Zen (zen.arado): we sure do Eliza :(
boxy (alfred.kelberry): mick, can you tell more on that?
Zen (zen.arado): it's so tough for us
Zen (zen.arado): the right thng is your conscience Mick?
Mickorod Renard: well, maybe not
Liza Deischer: /me mumbles, maybe our primal brain isn't made for global conscience
Mickorod Renard: but we think it is
Calvino Rabeni: On a more personal level ... how many of us I wonder, choose friends or a social network to help be more discerning, to use correct judgments, maybe be held "accountable" ... instead of seeking individual liberty from external judgments that seem oppressive to individual freedom .. ? There's a lot to be said for both practices.
Calvino Rabeni: And I agree with Liza there
Zen (zen.arado): yeh Eliza
Zen (zen.arado): we are still ittle close tribes really
Mickorod Renard: o maybe its ou idealistic opinion
Zen (zen.arado): Liza I mean
Eliza Madrigal: /me nods @ Cal re environment...
Zen (zen.arado): we choose friends because they like what we do
Zen (zen.arado): I think
Gaya Ethaniel: A few minutes left ... shall we continue next week with forgiveness?
Zen (zen.arado): not one's who disapprove
Liza Deischer: yes Zen, and that's an interesting point Cal...... a kind of collective more focussed on the survival of the group conscience versus a more personal conscience, they can contradict each other.....
Zen (zen.arado): suits me
Calvino Rabeni: I know I choose friends who can disagree with me where it's appropriate and help me learn .. within a range I can accept emotionally
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): /me nods
Eliza Madrigal: /me nods @ both
Eliza Madrigal: but I sort of let life choose my friends sometimes too
Eliza Madrigal: even when it makes no sense to me :)
Liza Deischer: forgiveness, yes sounds great after putting my conscience under a loop :)
Calvino Rabeni: I think forgiveness is a good topic, if it is balanced with conscience or accountability ..
Zen (zen.arado): /me thinks he should choose friends that way but.....
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Loopy Liz :)
Eliza Madrigal: :) Zen... don't you have friends you've had forever that annoy you but you respect?
Gaya Ethaniel: Would be nice to hear more about that point Cal next week :)
Zen (zen.arado): yeh I guess,,,but made a mistake :)
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Eliza Madrigal: Okay... bye and thanks everyone
Gaya Ethaniel: Thanks everyone :)
Mickorod Renard: bye Eliza
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Bye for now
Mickorod Renard: thanks All
Zen (zen.arado): thanks everyone
Eliza Madrigal: Oh! btw Cal... the soul comments you made last week re earth and sky... nice!
Liza Deischer: bye everyone that is going
Eliza Madrigal: thanks for that
Mickorod Renard: I need to slip away,,thankyou
Eliza Madrigal: /me waves
Zen (zen.arado): blanket bye
Liza Deischer: (I always need some time to get up)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Yea, let's call it a night
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): It's a night
Eliza Madrigal: :) Hugs Ags
Eliza Madrigal: Night it is
