Great Video! I believe there is no predetermined right or wrong, there's only experiences, which in turn forms a society/culture with certain rules. If Hitler had won the war, somewhere down the line of generations, i'm pretty sure what we today look back on and think of as an extremely delusional man, would be remembered as a founder of sorts, and that his beliefs would'nt appear so horrific! Someone simply has to be the bigger part in stopping the cycle of hate, and revenge. or it won't stop!

@Kapteintonton The inability to recognize moral relativism as a FORM of nihilism is common among those who, perfectly unware, subscribe to it as a belief system, as the insane rarely know they are insane. Your premise describes a cultural template that replaces any innate moral structure, dependance on whether that cultural matrix determines a behaviour moral or not, right or wrong is the quintessence of moral relativism. Seriously, lots of 19th philo's have addressed this...

@Cudoine My views are those of a buddhist, so i do believe in putting yourself in other people's place, and seeing how your actions, would affect them, and that that is the way to progress towards justice, morality, and so much more that is good. I would say i mostly agree with you, but i still believe in some cases, a person could do wrong, believing he's doing right, not because of evil, but because he simply hasn't been shown a better way. and no, i'm not saying that makes it okay :)

@Cudoine There's a difference between Moral Relativism, and Nihilism. My stance is not that there's no point or value in laws, moral and life itself, quite the opposite in fact. I'm simply commenting on how a person, raised in a certain culture, would maybe be able to believe anything he's told, simple because he hasn't been shown an alternative, and therefor, may not consider his actions anything other than normal, in other words, not wrong! Like polygami with young girls in sects.

@Kapteintonton You live in a world of moral relativism, which is ultimately nilistic. Whether you recognize it or not is of consquence only to you. I suggest you familiarize yourself with the arguements against this nilistic outlook, philosophical and other. They are plentiful, and life affirming in the greater degree.

@Kapteintonton To the wife beiing beaten it was "considered" wrong and as her position was the truely and inately moral on,e a society that strives toward justice and morality assumes her position. Same goes for slavery, a society directed toward justice and an inate morality progresses toward the abolishment of slavery. Opposed to a society that uses the example of it's "perfect man" prophet to institutionalize slavery, the case with mohammed, islam and it's five schools of law

@Allaho1 For those that don't know...this peice of shit is engaged in what is called "takkiya" that is religiously sanctioned deception in the cause of protecting muslims or benefiting islam. It is a doctrinal practice as much part of islam as a rejection of contraception or the Trinity is to Catholicism. His English is shit but he tries as he lies, poor demented douchebag.

@theadam22 You already have a problem and it will only get worse for you. The fact you ,even after stating it, cannot recognize your countrY's future speAks of the fallacy of the ideology to which you have been indoctrinated. INDOCTRINATED.

@Cudoine part 2: Beating your wife many years ago, was not considered wrong. Today it is. Thankfully! The same goes for slavery, and if we go even further back than african slaves in america, people thought highly of houses where they had slaves, making slavery a "right" in certain cultures. again, I'm glad slavery was abolished, all i'm trying to get across, is right and wrong has been and is, a product of many factors, yet they're all human factors, such as empathy for instance : )

@Cudoine god no! I'm against rape/any sort of violence, and i'm extremely grateful that we have many of the laws which we do today. What i meant was more on a philosophical level, meaning that when (however) the world was created, i don't believe there was an instruction manual that came with it, and by that, no universally predetermined right or wrong. Right and wrong have been formed by humans, and vary between cultures. That's quite far from Nihilism, as i see it!

@therequiemjig The imbecile who made this vid is a pampered, pretencious psuedo-intellectual fuckwit, whose ignorance of the subject he attempts to address is rivalled by his nanometer shallow approach to history, causes and effects.
I wish I could see the world as clear as this man, and that I could find the words to express myself as him. What a fresh wind in this deluded world!
