Universal morality lies in respect and responsibility.

Respect the free will of others, and use your own free will responsibly, and you will walk a morally sound path.

Neglect your personal responsibility or to respect the freedom of others, and you will walk an amoral path.

i guess, then, it would be one's ability to coexist with their peers and environment without forcing their will to change either.

Those who display ease in coexisting MUST be intelligent, for a stupid person wont be able to handle it. HOWEVER, intelligence, being a man made concept, like distance, time, weight, and speed, must be measured with a linear numerical "weight". right now, we have I.Q. points.



i dont think that works, nor is it fail safe, i prefer my example, but ultimately you have to take into consideration the diversity of intelligence.


i kant spell but i noez my maths very gud!


doesnt mean im stupid, doesnt mean im smart, it means i know some things, and dont know others.


i say one's intelligence should be best gauged by their actions, and interactions with the world around them.


those who cause more harm than good are idiots. those who create more happiness and less pain are geniouses!
