RE: Daily Discussion No. 8: Honesty and DIS-Honesty: What Goes on in People's Minds?

in #psychology8 years ago

And that's where the whole monkeysphere approach starts to get a little dodgy for me... who's "in" and who's not? And who defines what "in" and "out" looks like?
I do wrap up the broken glass even though I have NO idea who might handle it (or not) after it goes in the trash. I don't pour old solvent into the creek because someone might be fishing downstream and get poisoned... but both the garbage man and possible fisherman (or kids swimming) are "its" to me.
The ideology looks good to me, but the functional application in our world seems a bit tricky.

Sort:  

You misunderstand.
It's not an ideology...it's the fundamental hardwiring in our brains.
EVERYONE is like that...it's the basic foundation
SOME OF us...you for example...HAVE an ideology built UPON that foundation.
You've modified it to suite your own principles.
Not everyone has done that.

Ah... makes more sense now.
Sometimes I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed...

Perhaps religious people call it 'original sin'
or some such.. I don't buy that.
I yam what I yam

I don't accept their guilt trip.
