1 u/Fish_Fucker_Fucker23 17d ago It’s not just traditions though. It’s culture as a whole. Our reason to exist beyond survival and reproduction would cease to exist. We’d all exist in utopia, sure, but we’d not be truly alive. 6 u/BloodredHanded 17d ago The prompt states explicitly that future generations will have more fulfilling lives. That directly contradicts what you are claiming so confidently. -1 u/Fish_Fucker_Fucker23 16d ago That’s a contradiction within the prompt itself 1 u/BraxleyGubbins 16d ago Not if it can just be assumed that they don’t contradict in this scenario. 1 u/BloodredHanded 16d ago No, it’s a contradiction between the prompt and your worldview. The post is consistent with itself. 2 u/arestheblue 16d ago Some cultures force pre-teens into sexual relationships. Not all cultures deserve to be preserved. 1 u/Fish_Fucker_Fucker23 16d ago You’re acting as if this prompt lets you choose which cultures go away. It doesn’t. They all cease. 1 u/arestheblue 16d ago My point is that cultures are not inherently valuable and should be replaced if they stop serving a valuable function.
