Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

Like, why is there there's only goodness if there's justice?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

I mean, that doesn't make... I think the goodness...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

Why does the goodness have to be tied to that, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – 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 – 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?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

Is it that what's really going on is not about justice?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – 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 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

the meaning that is the good, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – 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.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

I mean, I think that that's...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – 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 – 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 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

I mean, they're physics experiments, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – 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 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

I think, okay, maybe...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

God doesn't play dice with the universe.

#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

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

Lex Fridman Podcast
#357 – Paul Conti: Narcissism, Sociopathy, Envy, and the Nature of Good and Evil

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