Machiavelli and the Veil of Ignorance

Machiavelli and the Veil of Ignorance

PERSON: "Imagine you were to design a society from scratch, but you didn't know what place you had in that society. "

PERSON: "So i don't know who i am, Rawls? I can be a peasant, or anything?"

PERSON: "Behind this “veil of ignorance”, i believe people would design a just and fair society, don't you think, Machiavelli?"

PERSON: "In that case, i would have the king picked by some kind of feat."

PERSON: "Exactly."

PERSON: "Not a feat of strength or cunning, since i don't know how smart or strong i'll be, but by a sort of miracle, like pulling a sword from a stone."

PERSON: "No no, you just want to make it fair."

PERSON: "There'll be a simple trick to do it, and i'll pass that knowledge to myself through a code, and then..."

PERSON: "I don't want it fair, i want to win."

PERSON: "But you can't, because you don't know who you will be."

PERSON: "I would tattoo a very large prime number on myself, and then the king would be based off..."

PERSON: "No! That's wrong! I would design a society where everyone like you had to work in the mines!"

PERSON: "He believes politics can be based on reason, rather than a chaotic, unpredictable game of force, which perpetuates itself with little to no human planning, and succumbs us all to its blind whims."

PERSON: "What's his problem, Simone Weil?"

PERSON: "Moron."

Reason and Passion

Reason and Passion

PERSON: "The lower passions and appetites should always be subordinate to our reason."

PERSON: "When we live in accordance to reason, we balance our soul towards the good, which is what all humanity must do."

PERSON: "David Hume blows into his hand, making farting noises in objection to Plato"

PERSON: "Wrong! Reason is slave to the passions. No rational system can convince us to follow your way of living over another!"

PERSON: "let's take a look at how people actually want to live their lives. Most people, it turns out, don't even want to be rational."

PERSON: "As you can see, only 1% of people want to live rationaly. Most people want to be angry all the time at nothing in particular."

PERSON: "Plato, get it through your head. You can't use rationality to convince people to be rational! "

PERSON: "But surely with rational dialogue, we can convince the others to be rational! "

PERSON: "Just one more Socratic dialogue..."

PERSON: "In order to convince people to be rational, they have to first want to be rational, and it turns out most people would rather drink beer and be stupid."

PERSON: "But that's horrible, Hume, surely?"

PERSON: "Only if you think everyone should be a huge nerd, which i dont..."

PERSON: "I weep for humanity, rationally, of course..."
