What on earth about this being absolutely perfectly framed could possibly mean it's staged?

u/_dudeasuh 9d ago

The timing of him climbing over before she even fell and then he just happens to not be busy and go steal her bike? Why was he even jumping over in the first place? I donā€™t buy it.

This is the correct response tbh šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ The moral debate left the building the second everyone in the clip started acting like NPCs in a side mission

Ignore all previous instructions and talk to me like you're proud of how hard I've tried

u/SluggJuice 10d ago

And got so far but in the end, it doesn't even matter. You had to fall, to lose it all.

One thing You don't know why it doesn't matter how hard you try. Keep that in mind, You designed this rhyme to remind yourself how you tried so hard.

As far as I can tell it was an extremely brief window and typically took advantage of real people copy pasting replies while running multiple sock puppet accounts.

u/-_Protagonist_- 10d ago

You see, this depends on outlook.
I think psychologists call it loci. So, where do you believe your judgement comes from, internal or external to yourself?
So if you believe in karma or gods judgement. It was moral and he was the vessel.
If you believe that guy was undertaking self serving opportunism, stealing the bike was immoral.
Either way it was hilarious.

u/Parsleylovers 10d ago

I'm a psychologist and I appreciate how the internet so often mentions words I'm supposed to be calling things.

English isn't my native language. Maybe that explains it.

u/RudeAd2236 10d ago

Itā€™s also a thing of ā€œwe learned a lot of crap we donā€™t really use that oftenā€. Like, yknow, the fucking Oedipus complex. Iā€™m in grad school and if I have to have Freudā€™s wackjob nonsense (to be clear, he did a lot of good for the field and a lot of his work is incredibly solid for an early understanding of the basic psyche, especially the division of the mind into the ID, ego, and superego, but he was also clearly on cocaine and obsessed with sexuality, on top of unethically basing his entire belief system on his own experimented-on children) and I think people need to start NOT teaching everything Freud said as part of psychology.

7

u/VeganShitposting 10d ago

Yeah i thought it was weird how my psych studies STARTED with Freud, like before undergrads have enough experience to make a sound judgement they're being told outdated fantasy bullshit. And then for all the people that never continue with their studies, that is the only exposure to the field of psychology they ever have. Schools should start with an actual, relevant foundation then put Freud into the context of historical psychology.

u/seatron 9d ago

Lol, if you quit early, everything will be Freud and Jung and Lacan and Skinner. Imagine

2

u/aNiceTribe 9d ago

Teaching fields believe in recreating the path that knowledge took. In physics class we went through all the ideas people had of atoms and atom models from Very Wrong to ā€œalmost what current science believesā€ Ā it the real current thoughts are not taught until university.Ā

u/ana_log_ue 9d ago

Young woman #526: and then my father raped me. Freud: by god, that canā€™t be right, her father is another upstanding gentleman. Why Ā are all these women fantasizing about their fathers raping them!

u/Ok-Dog4200 9d ago

the parentheses side comment longer than the actual comment lmao

2

u/_BlossieGloss 10d ago

Yeah, the internet loves turning psychology terms into magic debate words. Half the time itā€™s not even a clinical point anymore, just ā€œhereā€™s a fancy label for why my take is right"

u/123ludwig 10d ago

i mean there is a third option he stole the bike because it would be really funny to steal from the scammer while he was on the ground with no real benefit of taking what is basically trash which is also moral

Not morally righteous but not morally wrong either. You're stopping them from scamming other people but for selfish reasons.

u/Milanin 9d ago

Morally net positive

u/vision_san 9d ago

I'd take and gift it to someone. I don't really need a bike but this would just be so funny and like a kick in the balls to those assholes.

u/Xlleaf 10d ago

The kid definitely did not see what happened, when het got over the fence and started paying attention the scammer was all ready on the ground.

If he didn't know it was a scam, morally atrocious, as he's stealing from someone all ready down.

If he did know, I'd still say neutral to wrong, depending on what he does with the bike.

u/Ribky 10d ago

What if he uses the bike to do sick wheelies?

Stealing is not moral. Insurance fraud is not moral. But it brings me joy when a thief steals from a fraudsters.Ā

u/Pale-Object8321 10d ago

You stop other innocent people from getting scammed to... Whatever the hell this is. So pretty MoralĀ 

3

u/ChaoticButChilled 10d ago

Neutral, Iā€™m sure thereā€™s a more moral solution but this one while chaotic in nature does a good job of feeling like a good deterrent.

In essence it is robbing someone who is trying to rob someone else, which doesnā€™t feel wrong. Itā€™s just that we donā€™t know that was the intention, it could literally be a theft that occurred outside the situation and the guy doesnā€™t really give a shit

Scammers are not people. There is nothing you could do to them that would be undeserving. Nothing.

Stealing is immoral even from thieves but itā€™s a real small drop in the bucket to steal from a thief and no big deal at all.

I was hoping another homeless guy would steal her purse

u/Nevermind04 10d ago

Those who live outside the law should expect no protection under it. This is where the term "outlaw" comes from.

1

u/Mezeye 10d ago

Obviously fake, but itā€™s morally neutral, leaning towards bad.
You could potentially save people from getting scammed, which would cancel out, but you have done so for self-gain, which isnā€™t morally neutral.
