I wanna start a debate, what makes a good person a good person? What defines what's morally right, n what defines what's morally wrong? What makes a bad person? What makes morality n ethics in the first place?

Philosophic Vampire Discussion Questions

Warning: Vampire-related content including the usual things (blood, but not graphic description), mentions of addiction (not specified which)

What are some human traits that would make it easier for them once they're tramsformed into a vampire?

What are some that would make it more difficult?

Assuming that:

-vampires have to drink blood every now and then to function properly

->they can have big blood cravings

-they're vulnerable to religious things like holy water or christian artifacts (correct me on that, if it's not only christianity)

-vampires can grow very old/can only be killed very specifically

Examples:

Would having a strong sense of morals make being a vampire easier (being as nice to humans as possible->them not growing suspicious), or is a certain level of immorality neccessary?

Would being vegetarian before (for the animals, not just for the climate) be more helpful or difficult? Would the control over themselves help in holding back when they get the craving for human blood? Or would not wanting to drink blood make them too week? What degree of vegetarianism would be the best: from someone who just started to someone who's been vegetarian for very long?

Would being aromantic/asexual be of any help when it comes to craving human blood (which is often depicted as a sexual and/or romantic thing)?

Would knowing a lot about history help in finding new vampire friends, or would it make them angry to see someone act as if they knew more than them/were alive in that time?

Would having an addiction in the past make it more difficult because the more addictions someone's had, the more likely they are to become addicted to something else. Or could first-hand experience be useful because that person has already developed some distraction techniques?

Would being outgoing be of more help than being introverted? With being outgoing having the advantage of having an easier time approaching (& learning from) other vampires, who may already have centuries-old friendship, while being introverted would make it easier to protect humans from yourself, and keep out of vampire/other fantasy creature drama.

Would having human friends make being a vampire easier (having connections to humans, staying grounded), or more difficult (them passing away before you)? What amount would be best?

Is there an ideal age or point in life for a vampire transition?

Are there certain jobs that would make transitioning easier?

What kind of person would arose the least suspicion?

What are the (dis)advantages of being famous & rich prior to transitioning?

Do you have any recommendations of vampire media that go into some of these things (& that don't feature a minor x a very old vampire thing being presented as romantic/sexy)? 🤩

1. State in your own words the issue about which Socrates and Euthyphro are in disagreement.

2. List some of the definitions of “piety” or “holiness” that Euthyphro gives.

3. What are Socrates’ objections to these definitions?

4.  Euthyphro obviously believe he was doing the right things. Would you have done the same? Why or why not?

Is it all right to do something "wrong" if nobody ever finds out?

It depends on the situation. If you’re starving and need a loaf of bread to keep yourself alive then I believe it is right for you to steal the loaf of bread for yourself. That doesn’t mean you should always do it though, and in the end you should find someway of repaying the person you stole from. 

When it comes to killing or murder… I believe that if it is self-defense, you have the right to hurt or injure the person. If you can avoid killing them then you should; however, if you must murder them then you should make sure you have a reason to.

"A man kills his brother because he is jealous of what he had. The son of the brother promised his father he wouldn't even slay a man if he didn't have to. The son wishes to slay his uncle. Should he keep his old vow or take a eye for a eye?"

Killing is wrong period. Even I as a soldier hating taking a life away. If the son truly wanted revenge on his uncle for his father’s death then he should testify against him, or report him to the police. Never should a civilian take such violence into his own hands, even if the action has resulted in the loss of a family member. In the end I would have to say that he should keep to his old vow, and let his uncle rot in prison.
