Determinist

Something must have a desirable affect on man in order to be good

Must understand determinism of the world

Thats not me :p I don't think something must be desirable to be good. I desire things that aren't good. . .

...i have no idea what that means

Hmm:

#

Aquinas (1225 or '27-1274)

# All life has a purpose

# Meeting this purpose allows one to be happy.

# Happiness is to be found in the love of God.

# God's grace providing entrance into heaven creates the highest form of human happiness.

# Short of heaven, a person can achieve a more limited form of happiness through a life of virtue and friendship.

# Morality is not determined by the arbitrary will of God.

# Morality is derived from human nature and the activities that are objectively suited to it.

# The difference between right and wrong can be appreciated through the use of reason and reflection.

# Religious reflection may supplement the use of reason and reflection to determine right from wrong.

# Societies must enact laws to ensure the correct application of moral reasoning.

# Human nature is good because God made it good.

#

Augustine (354-430)

# Happiness is a union of the soul with God after one has died

# Bodily pleasures are relatively inferior to spiritual pleasures.

# Philosophical reasoning is not the path to wisdom and happiness.

# A love of God and faith in Jesus is the only path to happiness.

# God is the one to allow people to practice the love of God.

# One must love God in order to fulfill moral law.

# People are inherently evil; only the grace of God (or is it merit to be saved?) can save them.

I dont believe all this bull****

Stoicism

# The common capacity to reason allows all humans to achieve virtue and wisdom.

# The external circumstances of a person's life are irrelevant.

# One can achieve virtue by becoming indifferent to external differences.

# Passions must be rejected all together in deciding what is good and what is bad.

# Reason alone must be used in deciding what is good and what is bad.

# The common ability of humans to reason is why ethical relativism should be rejected.

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
