The app for independent voices

Yes you are very right. There is nothing wrong with discussing radical ideologies as long as they are examined critically and factually, which as we all know, has not been the case. Being a university student myself, I never cease to be amazed at the way in which students have been stupefied by a postmodern sense of morality. One great recent example: in a philosophy class the problem of free will and moral obligations was brought up; the illustration provided was of an individual who if they were to take their free will to the extreme, would allow a child to drown in the interest of not wetting their pants to save them. Our professor was interested in knowing whether or not we would consider such a person to be free or merely a psychopath. I was amazed at how one student tried to defend the position of the "psychopath", employing the preposterous meta universal example of: "Oh maybe in some other universe there may be some deities of pants for whom it would be blasphemous to wet them." Later when discussing meaningful ways of living more than a few students professed their enthusiasm for a hedonic way of life that entailed little work.
