Junk Drawer 7/28--Ring Of Gyges Edition

Suppose you had a ring that could make you invisible when you wore it. What next? What would you do with it?
Glaucon in The Republic tells Socrates of such a ring--The Ring of Gyges. He says that the true nature of man is to be the better than his peers--that is, human nature is a dark nature striving to rule other individuals. And, this is best exemplified when man is given the ring. As Glaucon says with the ring:
No man would keep his hands off what was not his own when he could safely take what he liked out of the market, or go into houses and lie with any one at his pleasure, or kill or release from prison whom he would, and in all respects be like a god among men
So what would you do with such a ring? Is it in our nature to be at war with other people and try to be their better?

I thought about the Banhammer
but figured I would just go there… I always do what I am told not to do. That’s why I think I’d be all set with having the power ring and wouldn’t abuse the power because no one would be able to tell me what not to do and make me want to do it. I’d be on my own.

Rare is the individual who will readily admit to himself, much less in a public forum, that he would use the power of the ring for evil. But rarer still is the individual with the power to act as a god but who would use that power to further positive ends.

I helped a stranger (a friend of a friend of mine who lives on the east coast) move. This person desperately needed some help moving (loading a Uhaul). My friend called me, I did it no questions asked.
I had another friend who was in a blue period of her life. I made a care package consistent of a painting and a shirt I made, and secretly shipped them to her.
That’s it. That’s all I can muster…

Interesting dilemma.
I would venture to say that it would be impossible for anyone to avoid doing evil wielding that kind of power. The power is not the invisibility itself, but the removal of consequences, as it would be rather impossible to be caught. Without consequences, anyone and everyone would succumb to their worst and most evil desires. Because consequences are one of the few things that hold us back for indulging them.
μὴ φοβοῦ, μόνον πίστευε.
I agree and disagree
let me give you a hypothetical situation: you find a wallet on the ground in the park with money inside. Nobody is around — you can steal the money with impunity. You can also call the individual and return their wallet to them without taking a dime.
I called the person and returned their wallet to them, and I don’t think I’m unusual. Free of negative consequence, I still chose to do what most would consider “the right thing”. How does that jive with the statement, “Without consequences, anyone and everyone would succumb to their worst and most evil desires”?
The Michael Ruffin of BlazersEdge, cuz Amlmart said so.
by BlazersOrBust on Jul 28, 2009 9:01 AM PDT up reply actions
I think it's more of a general rule than something that works in every situation.
If all consequences are removed, odds are that somewhere, something will lure you to evil.
In your particular case, you chose the better of two possibilities. Perhaps another philosophical question might be fun: Did you return this wallet purely because it was lost, or because it made you feel like a superior person by doing so? I’m not trying to impugn you in any way, rather trying to see and think about what motivates us.
I don’t think if it was me that I could honestly say that I would have had the purest motives in returning said wallet. Returning it would simply be feeding my selfishness. Returning it so I could be morally superior. So I would be better than those other people who wouldn’t. That would be worth more to me than the money inside the wallet. What would look like a good deed to everyone else would simply be a cover for my ego to feed further upon itself.
There are certainly degrees of evil. And one should probably strive to be less evil. But I don’t know if many people really realize what human beings are capable of, even when looking like the best of citizens. Of course, I have a rather pessimistic view of a human being’s capacity for doing what is good on their own.
μὴ φοβοῦ, μόνον πίστευε.
I had no idea John Locke was such a Blazers fan!
You’re absolutely right that I derived an inflated sense of self-satisfaction from doing “the right thing”. But I don’t think anything, and I mean literally anything, that motivates us can be boiled down to one sole compelling factor.
You can do something because it’s right AND because it makes you feel like a better person. Giving money to a worthwhile charity, for example. How many philanthropists are motivated solely by the good that their financial contributions bring about? How many can honestly say that the intrinsic satisfaction and public acclamation that they receive as a result of their giving don’t affect their desire to be philanthropic?
Does that somehow make it less of a good deed because other motivations beyond “pure” altruism played into their choice? Pure altruism doesn’t even exist if you ask me.
Here’s a question for you: do Milgram’s obedience experiments indicate to you the extent to which human beings will act with depravity when their depravities are sanctioned by an authority? Or does it say to you (as it does to me) that much of what we call “evil” is nothing more than situational and that people, while fundamentally good, will do terrible things given a certain set of circumstances?
The Michael Ruffin of BlazersEdge, cuz Amlmart said so.
by BlazersOrBust on Jul 28, 2009 9:30 AM PDT up reply actions
I agree that human beings are incapable of pure altruism.
But does that mean that we shouldn’t strive for it? You’re right in that there doesn’t have to be either/or’s in this, but both/and’s are indeed possible, and I would venture to say probable. It’s just that we tend to fall down either/or paths in our arguments. I was trying to point out the path less travelled. It’s an uncomfortable path for most people, but one worth exploring sometimes.
I think Milgram’s experiments come back once again to consequences. The presence of authority naturally brings one of consequence. Disobeying an authority figure will bring consequences. Electrocuting another human being with your own hands will bring consequences. Milgram showed where those consequences reach their tipping point, at it was not the point where people thought it was. Milgram showed that consequences against self weigh more heavily than consequences to others.
Perhaps the root of our argument comes down to whether or not human beings are fundamentally good. You have already stated that you believe that they are. I hold the opposite view. I think that they are fundamentally evil. That’s not to say that humanity’s situation is utterly irreversible, just that it lies beyond ourselves.
μὴ φοβοῦ, μόνον πίστευε.
if there is a whole race of invisible people
then we can create a whole new moral code for them, otherwise, it doesn’t really matter. “Good” is something we’ve created and is relative. If the Invisible people moved to Berkeley, they’re tendencies to steal, go in HS girls locker rooms, to screw the man and take free college courses, would all be tolerated because of their condition, if they got arrested that have to go to Invisibles Anonymous, and get treatment for their invisible peoples disease.

I like to describe human nature in terms of a garden—something often done in literature. Only, my garden is at night, and no longer cared for. It’s a savage, dark place, passionate and sensual. It’s the place of great virility and great mystery. As gardeners, we are always trying to keep and control this place. But, in it’s nature, it’s a dark and evil place….

Good point.
I should surrender my ego and avoid doing all acts of good. Let evil overwhelm me until I finally throw my self on the mercy of the church, the only true bastion of good in this mortal life. Or something.
Too hot for this, but man I hate that argument. Blah blah you wanted to feel good so you yanked that guy out of the path of the bus. No, I wanted to help him because I don’t want that fate for any fellow human. Period. People are capable of doing good without either laws or religion. Deal with it.

I agree though. I think human nature is much like that described in Leviathan—namely that we are all at war all the time. We come together to form laws not because community is primary, but rather the fear of suffering injustices.

You'd get caught.
Invisibility, like most superhero powers, is overrated. You couldn’t see your own body, so you’d constantly trip over stuff. Animals would know you’re there and probably bite you. Folks could hear you and smell your cheap cologne. You’d leave foot impressions wherever you walk and butt impressions wherever you sit. Before long, someone would grab you and you’d be in a jail cell awaiting a visit from the DoD and a team of scientists and you’d never be seen again.
Other overrated superpowers:
- Teleportation — I wonder how it would feel to re-materialize inside a wall.
- Super strength — Great, you wouldn’t need a jack to replace a flat tire.
- Flying — Hope you like the taste of bugs and enjoy making a spectacle of yourself.
- Athleticism — How many times can you win the gold medal in gymnastics and not get bored?
The only powers I can think of that would be really useful are these:
- Telepathy — Crown me poker king for life!
- Mind control — Money, women, power… so this is what it’s like to be Ted Kennedy.
- Telekinesis — The couch potato’s wildest fantasy.
- Instant healing — We’ll all need it when socialized medicine kicks in.

My other Buddhist cognitive dissonance moment:
I was working in a hospital in San Francisco and a group of Buddhist monks with shaved heads, orange robes, sandals, etc. were visiting, don’t recall why. I was left alone with the leader of the group at one point when our secretary, a black woman, left the room with the others. The dude began dropping n-bombs and nasty remarks about her and blacks in general, all with a smile on his face. I still have a scar on my chin from where my jaw hit the floor.
Wow, I have a hard time imagining any of the monks from my temple doing something like that.

Look I don't mean to sound like a vulgar dullard

I'd take the invisibility ring if I could get it.
But I honestly think there isn’t much anyone could do with it that isn’t illegal or immoral. Getting Hinrich in trade for it is probably the best use.
In all of this junk, I think there is one ‘good’ use of the ring: BRP suggested fighting terrorist in Afghanistan.

Sometimes at the airport I think about walking away with someone's luggage
It’s a pretty easy crime, but likely not profitable since most people store their valuables and electronics in their hand luggage. And you can bid for lost luggage in special auctions. If I had such a ring, I might do it. But likely the same thing that would keep me now from doing it would still keep me from doing it: Imagining how pissed I would be if my luggage didn’t come that I need for a trip, even if it’s not all that valuable it’s still a pain.
What I would probably do with an invisibility ring/cloak/whatever would be to go where I usually can’t go. Sit in meetings like a fly on the wall, visit events and stand on stage, sleep in empty rooms in expensive hotels, etc.
i always see golf clubs in the "Extra Large" baggage claim areas and wonder what type of clubs they are lugging around...
that’s what I would do if I was to steal…then go panhandle $35/year to be a member at Costco so I can eat, then sleep at convention centers until someone bought the set of clubs for $200-$300 cash
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
Wait......panhandle $35.00 ...but Costco no

True, although I learn well from class notes and anecdotes, and you can get recorded lectures or forums on some sites in audio or video.

I’m not following swimming, but it’s the top sports news on Google News Germany and reported e.g. by the Financial Times and Sueddeutsche Zeitung. They are saying he didn’t pass the swimming examination for elementary school kids on the first try, lol (25 m swimming in any style, jumping in from the edge of the pool, getting an object out of the water).
The top news is a minister/secretary not using her state-paid vehicle correctly. She was on holiday in Spain at the Costa Blanca, her driver had to bring her the car, and then someone stole it. Lol again. As if that’s the worst thing politicians do. She is ruining a fine health care system, that should be the big topic.

A ? for the tech savvy folks
I am helping a local guy get an acoustic guitar shop up and running and it looks like its going to turn into a prettty cool part time,only employee jig for me.The subject of the need for a website has come under discussion,we both know how to make guitars but dont have a lot of nerd skills.So what would be a ballpark figure to get a site going and what kind of admin,maintainance would it require?

thanks tinny for the ups…i’ll try to help…email me Southern if you need help…if you are not doing ecommerce i can pretty much get a site up for you on a weekend’s notice
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
You're looking at anywhere from 10-15k/year in development and maintainance costs
You could do what my dad did tho, go to the web design course instructor at a high school or college (he chose college) and ask the instructor to use your business as a model for the course project. You may have to pay some but it’s worth it in savings, but then you need someone to run the maintainance on it later down the road.
Blazers win!
could you do something
on the cheap like a facebook page?

you might also open a twitter account

It will cost you less than $500.
Here’s BRP’s sure fire way to get a professional site up without professional money.
Step 1: Go to http://www.monstertemplates.com…buy a website template…cost around $50…a lot of cool ones…don’t buy the original there’s a high chance no one else will have it.
Step 2: Go to http://www.elance.com…post a job that says you need a simple site, have to change a few logos off a template you have…List it for $250 or less. Some firm from India or Russia or some independent kid will build it for you in less than 3 weeks. I did this once and had 50 bids for less than $300 for a full ecommerce site.
Step 3: Go to http://www.godaddy.com and get yourself a hosting solution…
BOOOM! Professional site under $500.
Pay BRP with beer and love later:)

Squarespace.com is also a nice hosting service where you don’t need web development skills to design a good site. If you can use word or a layout program, you can use them. They are also very robust against a lot of traffic, and let you export your content if you ever want to move away. But most of their templates are rather “blogish”, not so much e-commerce.

I was thinking about this today
I think there is a double standard between offensive players and defensive players when we as fans evaluate dudes. Somehow it is ok if a guy plays poor to mediocre defense as long as he can score on the other end then he is considered to be an asset, but if a guy can really play defense, but is only poor to mediocre on offense then he is seen to be more of a liability and a guy you can only play in certain situations.
All of the talk about Greg Oden only playing so so, but being a really nice player in the USA mini camps has got me thinking about this.
not really a fully formed thought, but feel free to comment away in the JD

my 2nd paragraph is retarded
it should be more along the lines how he is getting bagged on while still being a really good defensive player, while a guy like KD, a nice player, gets super high praise, but at best he plays mediocre defense.

Actually some of the concern was
That he COASTED during a contract year at times.
Of course, I think he just played like himself, and didn’t play extra hard for the deal, but he is likely prone to coast if the game(s) don’t matter much.
That is fine on a team like ours, where we won’t rely on him, just enjoy him when he’s rollin’.
he also coasted when he was a Clipper

I recently watched twilight as I have been telling all comers that Let the Right One In blew its doors off, so I felt I should actually watch twilight. I have never been so right in my life.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
Also, Raiders was set in 1936… pre WWII… so Shai le whatever would have been 21 in the latest “movie”

Indy #1 is set in 1936 or so
BUT, we are supposed to think he and Marion were together after the events of that movie ended.
So, the kid could’ve been made a few years after Raiders ends.
No… the kid was made on the set of Raiders… Did you EVEN watch the movie

I didn't make an unhappy face for what you said
But HOW you said it, by stressing the “even” in your sentence, which makes it sound weird when said out loud.
Should be, did you even WATCH the movie.
I like to put the emphasis ON the wrong part of the sentence

at which point
are we supposed to believer they consummate their relationship? When they are on the freighter?
I dont think there is a definite scene where they hook up, but like Morty says it appears they are about to engage in a relationship after they find out what happens to the arc.

They're together when the guv'ment takes the arc and hides it
So I’m sure they got super freaky deaky sometime after that.
I got a PDF file of the script conference notes Lucas, Speilburg, and Kasdan had with each other before Raiders. They wanted to imply Marion was like 13 when Indy first started sleeping with her.
was it a marryourdaughter.com relationship

wow
I guess someone wanted to show off that they had read Lolita
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

Yes, it is what they wanted to sorta' reference
And that the relationship between Indy and his mentor’s 13 year old daughter is what led to their falling out as partners.
yep
also IIRC Marion briefly mentions it in Raiders of the Lost Ark. she says something about how she was young…
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
whats IIRC mean?

It was an abortion of a film
I love love love love Raiders, think Crusade is ah’ight, and have grown to appreciate elements of Temple that I didn’t like as a younger man, but Crystal Skull still makes me angry.
I watched it over my honeymoon the other month, having not ever seen it because I expected awfulness. So I went in, just hoping it would be abysmal. My expectations could not have been lower. They still managed to exceed them.
Such a lazy, lazy, lazy, awful, horrible, silly, stupid, insulting movie.

they have somethings that are similar
Papaya Pok Pok is probably the closest to som tom as I usually eat it.. but they also have a Khao Man Som Tam that adds rice and pork and makes it really different.

i just order it medium
but i get a few different chili sauces on the side. My dad makes it really hot, so i can take it, but safe to order medium at thai restaurants, if you are white you can get varied results if you order hot, or really spicy, they either give it to you way hot, or mild because they think you are just bluffing, so i hear, but i dunno, i always just say medium if they ask.
"Everybody is crazy. It's just some people are more upfront about it." -fanfaraway
"love is only universal if you know what to do with it" -broyposse
it is exactly right
I still go for hot, and sometimes even have a conversation with new restaurants. Fortunately, there are already like 3-5 good thai places in the metro area that know me and don’t serve me like a gringo. :)
One of my favorites is Lemongrass because they have a 0-20 system. They claim most thai food place extra hot is about a 2 on their scale. When I first went there, I was able to negotiate a 7 out of them, but since I was able to handle that they will give me higher. I wouldn’t dream of a 20 (or even a 15).. it’d be insane.

how does salary cap work?
how is it that dallas can sign tim thomas and drew gooden as free agents even though they are over the salary cap?
you can sign players for the veteran minimum
or use exceptions your team may have
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
I'm not sure about Gooden Magnum
But Thomas signed for the vets minimum.

did Dallas have their MLE because Gortat was matched by Orlando?
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
If it wasn't used on anybody after Gortat
Absolutely.

Probably the vet's minimum
At least that’s true in Thomas’s case, and Gooden might have signed for part of the MLE.

Why is it so hot?
It feels like LA over here.
The Kings have the best bench I’ve seen. There are easily 14 guys on this team good enough for every bench in the league. Now if we could only get some starters, I’d totally jizz in my pants.
Kings fan
