@Best.Korea

I haven't read many debates and you seem to debate on topics I am interested in.

We can agree at that.

-->
@brynnalicious

Okay, I guess we can leave it at that. Its okay if you disagree with me. I just dont see how I am the only person you disagree with, but maybe I am missing something.

Anyway, person can be both good and evil. I dont think its beneficial to be completely good. Its best to be both good and evil.

@Best.Korea

Did you read what I said at all? I’m not restating myself as it would be the third or fourth time, but I suggest you go reread my reasons on why someone can be evil even without knowledge.

And again, I’m not stalking you. The world doesn’t revolve around you. I don’t care if you know black magic because I don’t believe in it. Just because you’re the only person I’ve messaged doesn’t mean that I’m stalking you. The only reasons you’re the only person I’ve messaged is because I just made my account yesterday, and because you’re simply the only person I disagree with at the moment.

"One can be evil without knowledge"

No, you cant be evil without knowledge, since without knowledge, it is not possible to choose nor want to do something, thus being evil is impossible.

Also, you should probably talk to people other than me. I really dont like when people stalk me. I must warn you that I have great knowledge in the arts of black magic.

@Best.Korea

One can be evil without knowledge, they will just be unaware that they’re being evil.

One with knowledge knows they are evil, and that’s not entirely the schools fault. It’s the person’s fault for being evil in the first place. The reason they are evil could be parents, bullies, siblings, or other things. Being educated is not a bad thing.

If someone is evil and uses knowledge from school to execute any cruel activities, then it’s not the school’s fault, it’s the person’s fault for being evil.

And as for you being the only person I have interacted with, I just made an account yesterday and have only interacted with you twice. That’s not a crazy amount, and I can’t participate in rated debates, so I just comment. Assuming I am stalking you because of that is selfish. The world doesn’t revolve around you.

If person refuses to learn anything, then he cannot be evil since he wont have any knowledge. To be evil requires knowledge.

But schools give knowledge which is used for evil, so schools should be abolished.

Also, I notice that I am the only person you talk to on this site. Is everyone else boring or are you a stalker?

-->
@Best.Korea

Refusing to learn and learning can both enable people to be evil.

If one doesn't learn, then they don't know what evil is and they don't know whether they're being evil or not because they chose not to learn.

If one does learn what being evil is and chooses to be evil using the knowledge they gained from school, that doesn't make the school the bad one, it makes that person evil, not the school.

-->
@brynnalicious

So since refusing to learn isnt evil, and knowledge enables people to be evil, we can say that schools should be abolished.

-->
@Best.Korea

I never said that refusing to learn anything makes you evil. Refusing to learn isn't evil, it's just stupid.

Why would you want to live your life as an idiot when you could get an education?

My point is that schools shouldn't be abolished because the knowledge from them is the reason many people are alive to this day.

-->
@brynnalicious

Okay, so since helping others is not moral duty, then nothing makes you evil if you refuse to learn anything.

-->
@Best.Korea

Of course, it's not a duty, not everyone works in the medical field.

But without knowledge, it would be impossible for anyone to care for people with illnesses or help anyone in general.

So yes, it's not a duty for people to help others because that's not what everyone wants to do, but some people need help, and without knowledge, there's no way to get care.

All jobs require some knowledge that is provided by school.

Without school, there is no knowledge. Without knowledge, there is nothing.

-->
@brynnalicious

Thats irrelevant, as people have no moral duty to heal others.

-->
@Best.Korea

"Without knowledge, there is no way to use it for harm."

There's no way to heal without knowledge either.
