The Faithful and The Free. Which is better? (leminal.space)

The Faithful have excellent manners and their ethics are impeccable. But they have a chip in their head that tells them what to do and think (so they aren't really all there). This chip was put there by very good, smart people who want only the best for the world.

The Free are good, bad, smart, stupid, depending on the person, day and mood. They are usually pretty ok neighbors but occasionally they are extremely wonderful or terrible (then look out!). They mostly think for themselves and do what they like.

Which version of the "best for the world" are we talking? Your "best for the world" does not necessarily match my "best for the world".

Assume that it's one you like.

@infinite_ass What about everyone else? Will my friends be happy and secure with it? People I don't know or care about? Hell, even my enemies?

I highly doubt it.

You don't think we could hit 99% popularity?

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago

Fuck no. Is this a real question? You think you could come up with away of living that would meet a 99% approval rating? We can't even get a 99% approval rating on thoughts like "education is good" and "killing people is bad".
