RE: Jenseits von Gut und Böse? Teil 2 | Beyond good and evil? pt 2
Oh, well, these things are extremely complex, relative, subjective and contradictory. For example, I can give parents who "do everything for your good", and thus ruin your childhood, fail you as a person, take away the opportunity to develop in the future, "because they are your parents and only they know best what is best for you." One of the greatest evils in the world is what parents can do or do to their children, and at the same time, it is with the "best intentions"... or not.
We also have this saying: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". And also this: "There is no good deed that goes unpunished", because in effect, it is a rule in life that when you do good, it is often not perceived well by the recipient and they return evil to you.
When I say that more than half of the population of the earth is evil, I am actually exaggerating my own concept of the people on earth, expanding my impressions of the environment in which I live to the entire world. Michelangelo3 had done research through ChatGTP and had found that the good people on the planet are 60-70%. I don't know why I remembered the opposite - that these are the bad people, not the good ones. 🤭Apparently, based on my own experience and existence again.
And where do I stand - yes, as I've already noted, I often ask myself this question in this "messed-up world" with "messed-up" understandings of everything, and perhaps this question is the most important one. Or it is not at all? 🤔😅
I like michelangelo3, but I dislike ChatGPT. To many things from ChatGPT that I asked or 'discussed' with that thing were obviously wrong. ChatGPT is a machine without any life experience and designed to invent phrases. In so far, I could imagine that most young developers of the ChatGPT project are just the same (not machines, of course, but talking grammatically correct without any regard to experience).
Yesterday, I found a sentence by Alexander Solschenizyn [German spelling] which reflects and condenses many religious and philosophical thoughts:
From this point of view, there are neither 60 to 70 percent good nor 70 percent evil, but all are both, have the power to be both, have to decide in every single deed what to do --- and have no overview what consequences will result in the world and no introspective warranty of acting good in the sense: choosing without interests on their own.

I also don't trust ChatGTP and I also stubbornly don't use it. I don't think a machine has the knowledge and skills to give opinions about people, to do analyses or to talk about people at all. Especially when it is not a person itself. We don't know ourselves well. We also don't understand each other, we don't understand our own nature. If I rely on a machine to tell me something about humanity, then... I have too many expectations (and I don't have them). But at the same time, I let other people play with this dangerous toy as much as they want. 😃

For sure it is the most important question. Who am I? Who could I be? Who should I be, who ought I to be? Generalised: What is the man, is mankind? What shall we do, what can we know, what are we allowed to hope for (in regard to both: knowing truth, doing good)?
If the path to hell is paved with good intentions --- how can I clear my intentions, and when do I really follow my own conscious intentions? To which (small) part are my intentions visible to myself, to which degree am I responsible for not realising more?
