No you can't. All you can do, or have done is support your wild suppositions with unprovable suppositions of famous philosophers. Your opinions are worse than reading the bleedy poetry of a suicidal emo teenager, and your writings on this forum would be plagiarism if you published them.
Did someone tattoo "masochist" across my forehead when I wasn't paying attention?
I never swore to loathe you, I just said that you have a tendency to be incredibly annoying, and that I wouldn't sleep with you.

If there were no good in the world, why would we be having this discussion? Would it be only because the appearance of good is useful?
As a rhetorical question only, I suggest you look inside your own self. It is true we cannot fully know another person's motivations, but there is compelling and solid reasons to assume there are people with sincerely compassionate motivations. Looking inside yourself, can you find any inclinations towards compassion that are free from immediate benefits? Are you moved to lessen someone's suffering? Do you ever desire strongly to make another person have a good feeling? I've seen plenty in you to support the idea of goodness in people. I'll leave the personal note in the realm of the rhetorical now.
If one looks deeply enough inside self, it is possible to see a microcosm of humanity. There is some sense of both its cruelties and compassions. Our genetics and environment places outer boundaries on who we have the capacity to be, but we all have some elbow room to self-determine our nature. That is at least my belief based on what I know.01010011 01101111 01101101 01100101 01100100 01100001 01111001 00100000 01101101 01111001 00100000 01110010 01101111 01100010 01101111 01110100 00100000 01110111 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01100011 01101111 01101101 01100101

My ideas were not plagiarism. When I quote, I mention the author's name.
When I borrow ideas, I credit the inspirer.
My ideas here are not exactly like Schopenhauer's, as I've mentioned him earlier on, they deviate in a number of ways. But again, I can provide a logical argument to support what I say. You wouldnt know anyways if I could do that, you're no good at logic anyways.
And...you was the one who said that you wanted to have pity sex with SolitaryWalker... it certainly was not my idea...
Zeitgeist oftenly acts out on Intuitive leaps and this is where his ideas come from Ni... I only act out on ideas that I think are logically consistent...

One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

There is no free will. We are just driven by urges that we do not understand.
Essentially not everything is evil, but selfishness is the root of all human actions. And it is clear that evil has always been propenderous over good... Compassion indeed is the source of all good... yet once more...genuine compassion... one that is not inspired by our selfish urges is extraordinarily rare..

How does evil exist w/o free will? Wouldn't the animal model of behavior be complete for assessing human beings then? How would my initial lighthearted response about feeling kindness towards a violent critter not be spot on in describing human behavior w/o free will?
