MODERATORS
Seems a bit off topic of my comment, but I’ll bite.
I don’t believe in free will. I don’t make choices or decisions, as such. My biology responds to environmental stimulus and cues.
Having said that, objectively I’m not very effective at being a human. I’m in a straight marriage, but bisexual (leaning gay) and only figured that out after a decade. I shout at my kids when I lose my temper. Or I sit in the dark and mope instead of dealing with my problems. Or use recreational cannabis. Although I’m physically healthy, I’m not very social and don’t have or provide a social safety net. But I have a good job that I enjoy.
Am is good person? I don’t think that means anything. But I know there are a handful of people who like being with me and benefit from my actions. So I’m a net benefit to my circle. I think that’s good enough for me.
I wasn't asking you the question hehe, it was more rethorical to prove the point that everyone probably thought "yup, I'm a good person". Thanks for supporting my point though. I don't think you're a bad person, I just think everyone thinks they are good.
Yes, I believe that you’re right on that point. As crazy as it seems.
