Start with the shortest cycles, the ones we can potentially best grasp and then extend to longer cycles. Consider the logistics of forward knowledge transfer since long cycles extend past any individual's comprehension.Dale Asberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144102722000937328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581401473844438605.post-66776652148958713452012-11-26T19:13:07.034-08:002012-11-26T19:13:07.034-08:00You got it, man!

Certainly at least a thousand, wouldn't you think? A hundred? Bah! Far too trivial a pursuit. And ten, twenty, a human generation? I'd say quit wasting my fucking time to that kind of shit!John Kurmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607323621206823686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581401473844438605.post-61894267971405325862012-11-26T18:05:05.855-08:002012-11-26T18:05:05.855-08:00I agree that morality always contains a time eleme...I agree that morality always contains a time element or it is meaningless. But which time element is the just, righteous one?<br />10 years? 100? 10,000? 10,000,000?<br /><br />It's a genuinely interesting question. Even if you are solidly human-centic (as opposed to pro-mammal or pro-biosphere) you come up with a radically different moral structure based on your timeframe.<br /><br />So, assuming we are all pro-human, and in favor of a meritocracy, what timeframe do we couch that within?DDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12936013880621794157noreply@blogger.com
