wolven7The Last Dance - [Somewhere More]--- School was ok. I got a B+, on my most recent CR. Something about lack of clarity. Then, in explaining my point, my words failed me. I couldn't put it together, and it still eludes me, to a point. I wrote a succinct statment. One sentence:
"Psychological harm is debatable, based upon factors of enculturation and arbitrary norms."
Meaning that the more the societal factors and norms are simply A way of doing things, and not an across-the-board genrealisation of "we don't do this because it harms us all." And even some of those can be refitted, with better education, with advances in technology. (Android Lust - [Sex And Mutilation]). My point is that the moral judgement of a thing can no longer be done in the form of a simple right or wrong, all the time, in all ways. Now, more than ever, we have, within us, an understanding of the nature of mittigating circumstances.
The trick is to not mittigate ourselves into a corner.
Read the Aeon Flux graphic novel, today. I've had the damned thing for a fucking decade. (Attrition - [Feed the Crow]). It's really intersting, especially because it's the introduction of Aeon Flux. The Herodotus File. It's good stuff and, with the advent of the movie, I'm sure they'll be reprinting it soon.
Later.
