Re: should incest between consenting adults be illegal
The only good laws are those that are written to hold some one/group accountable for harming another, where harm is only jointly decided by those involved! Anything more is about controlling natural life, (everyone's parent, that they've never completely known, as of yet), to suit either one's or a group's neurotic/psychotic psyches, in believing themselves gods, that can actually know completely and speak for, the universe, as if it actually has intentions for our limited free will, in steering our life's course, within it's deterministic framework. Of course those that adamantly disagree, are the most fearful amongst us, for what specific reason, they might not even know, but nevertheless, the root of their neurosis/psychosis.SpheresOfBalance wrote:When considering any particular interaction between humans, when is harm actually harm?
Of course the answer is that it's only to be decided by those that are participants in any particular interaction.
Unfortunately people really love to tell others what to do and what not to do.
As long as all those involved, come away from the interaction, unharmed in any way, happy, and glad to have been a part of it, then who is to say?
But one absolutely has to keep in mind my revision of the 'golden rule' which compensates for the problems philosophers have found contained within it. My "fundamental social axiom" is that one should always, 'treat others as they would have others treat them, to the extent that, all parties, knowingly agree, at the time."
The way the human condition is currently going, it can only implode!
