you're trying way to hard to look clever by deconstructing something for the sake of deconstructing it. i even felt bad and messaged you, apologizing for reacting in a mean way, when you accused me of being nice to try and get you to agree with me or something even though nothing i was saying was trying to persuade you in any way. i said "the saying is older than dirt" or something, as if to say "who cares, it's an old saying." now you're trying as hard as you can to look like you're "thinking freely" and "independently," or whatever your idea of that is, just for the hell of it. YOU'RE EVEN COMPARING YOURSELF TO WHAT YOU IDENTIFY AS THE ELITE OF SOCIETY! so great excuse for doing that.

what you're bitching about in the first place is a pretty abstract concept. it can be applied in different ways to different contexts. it's not by any means suggesting that ALL good intentions pave the road to hell. this is what you're assuming. so YOUR premise is fucked up, dude. not mine. have you ever tried "abstract thinking?" do you know what that means? because if so, i'd like you to define it for me without using google. the old saying is completely dependent on WHAT you're applying it to. i think you missed that part. going on your "super smart free thinker doctor/layer/engineer" tangent, from what i've seen it's most commonly used to describe religious people using religion as a base for committing "evil" acts, most commonly by the more liberal religious describing the fanatically religious.

and literally, EVERY ONE of your bullshit premises you’ve spun up incorrectly deconstruct the concept. Especially your building premise. Like, I can’t even begin to break that down for you. The more you bitch, the more you prove you do not understand (1) the concept (2) how to “deconstruct” something in an intelligent way (3) interact with people on the internet.

Mad Dog Soldier: When someone is nice to me and apologizes for something, I call them a "punk," I don't listen to them, and I continue on my stubborn, ass-backwards, low-intellect-shitstorm behavior pattern and make my self look even worse. Because the only way I can get off is by humiliating myself publicly. Next I'm going to find some 13 year olds to snapchat with!

If trying to test an idea or discuss its logical ramifications is not a valid way to determine truth from falsehood, then what is?

"the whole idea is that people can achieve great levels of evil while believing they are doing the right thing."

I would never assert the moral validity of nor defend such deeds. If you are talking about commies, this is an example of what I mean when I effectively said that such problems amount to willful ignorance, stubborness and arrogance on the part of the central planner.
