Philosopher Question - Ahldagor

[maskedmelon]

Ahld,you mentioned a particular sort of ethic or something in response to a debate Daywolf and I were having on ethics. I thought it was something from Socrates,but have forgotten what it was and would like to read it now. Can you tell me again? Tyx ^^

Got a reference to the debate? Need some context.

It was part of one of the last discussion we had before all the recent bans. We were discussing charity. Daywolf insisted that conservatives give more to charity and charity is a better solution to poverty than government subsidy because it is elective. I suggested that charity and government assistance were both a disservice to humanity because it dilutes the mean and stymies progress by shifting resources from more efficient conditions to less efficient ones.

You popped in and said, "guys this has all already been discussed, you are literally debating _____________"

[Daywolf]

That was ejected into the Doomheim void during the great full retard. Yes it was one of the ancient Greek philosophers as mentioned, not the first time he's brought them up from the graveyard of deep delusions :D

He's dead, Jim.
