#357 β Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil
Like, why is there there's only goodness if there's justice?

I mean, that doesn't make... I think the goodness...
Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 β Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil
Why does the goodness have to be tied to that, right?

#357 β Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil
Maybe it goes back to the counterentropy and the fact that when there is something, there is not nothing, right?
Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 β Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil
And where there is something, there can be awareness, there can be goodness, there can be compassion, right?

Is it that what's really going on is not about justice?
Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 β Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil
Yes, we have free will, but it's that goodness, creating, shoring up, making better, that is...
Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 β Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil
the meaning that is the good, right?
Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 β Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil
And that the evil is the destruction as evidenced by the fact that it's overdetermined probably a million times that we're in this eddy current of counter entropy and we could destroy that quite readily, right?

And then we're nothingness like everything else that we know of that's not us, that doesn't have the ability to do something that's creative or constructive.

#357 β Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil
I mean, I think that that's...
Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 β Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil
And I think that our science really tells us that that's the answer.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 β Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil
And I think it beckons us with ideas like we know that things happen outside of space and time, right?
Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 β Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil
I mean, they're physics experiments, right?
Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 β Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil
Like we know this from the science of it, yet we don't stop and look and say, wait, is that the magic of the idea?

Einstein said, God doesn't play dice with the universe.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 β Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil
I think, okay, maybe...

God doesn't play dice with the universe.

That quantum indeterminacy and all of that is not just a flip of the coin, so to speak.

But maybe it's in that indeterminacy that we're given the opportunity to assert ourselves, to make something one way or another.
