Op is a faggot, in all possible meaning of the phrase, it is true, ethically, metaphysically, politically, it could not be any other way anyway

>die of a disease
uh oh

>>25326972
why even keep the concept of 'right' in that case?

What is might anon? Strength comes in various different forms and in different contexts. You may be able to kick the everloving shit out of a snotty bureocrat or HR worker but they could reduce your salary or sneakiky get you kicked out of your job at any moment as well. A cop may have legal authority over most but he might be somewhat helpless in some mexican cartel's territory. You might be able to sue a girl and fuck her over but you wont because shes too hot and manipulates your ass very easily with her snatch
Might is too transient and context sensitive to be an imperative of righteousness in most circunstances but this might be productive if OP bothers to define what it is

>>25326972
Ok

Might does indeed control everything.

Hmm, that might be.

>>25327031
why not both, the monopoly of violence and intellect, people or states, societies, etc who know how to use violence appropriately decide what is right, not always but at the height of their hegemony, this is true of most famous empires and nation builders

Might is right loses to right is right, even if might is right is right, 'might is right' as a belief is less mighty than other ethics. So to believe in might is right is not mighty.

>>25326972
Interestingly, Right also makes Might. Those with will to Truth and will to the Good are simply more powerful because they understand reality better and can organize themselves more efficiently. It is why humans are mightier than any other apex predator: they can rationalize and organize.

Societies that do not hold to these principles can be remarkably strong and stable, but if given enough time and competition, will always be out competed by societies that value truth and can maintain justice.

Nietzsche acknowledges this by admitting that pure master morality, the 'blonde beast', is ultimately stupid and doomed to be defeated by slave morality. any interesting man, any progress towards a higher being, will have to come from the struggle between the two.

Yes! Might is Right!

If you take the meaning of Right as the one in human right, or individual right, Right which means ~= being entitled to own something, being justified in using force to get to it, then Might is Right is true, because you own things by violence. Asking for Rights, asking for stuff--negotiations--, are always basically parties, with interests, that figure out what they can get to with their might. Now, human rights, are a collective claim, and so the might use to enforce them is collective as well, collective force, this is the might of democracy, Democracy is a system which is 'might makes right'-ist

ETHICALLY
Might also makes Right, but 'Right' now means 'Good', 'morally correct'. Why? Because Aristotle is based, and teleology is based as fuck. So Humans, as Lifeforms, have a Telos similar to all other animals, to persist, to continue existing. Given this task which falls from necessity, we might wonder, "Hey! How do I live and continue living?", to which the answer comes, you guessed it, get Mighty my Man! With might you guarantee *Choice* over your life, if you have choice over your life, control over your life, then the passing on of your genes is not left to some *other* arbitrary Will. The family and races who cultivate might guarantee their livelihood, the communities who cultivate devotion to some strange other thing are going to arbitrarily periodically die for that ideal, biologically this just creates stagnation of genes, a random development, it is a failure mode to concentrate on some other thing than might.

Might I would try to define as: properties that increase your ability to choose and combat necessity(??)
Might can be physical (muscles=more choices), or mental (fortitude=more resistance to emotions/passions=more choice); proper(your own strength, intellect, the gun in your hand) or borrowed(someone obeys you)

Your inherent strength is to be preferred to any type of borrowed external strength, which is less certain to remain yours.

Brutes are usually weak in the mental fortitude department

The point of Might Makes Right arguments are indeed to make you notice that the 'Right Path' is not disjointed from the 'Might Path', but It is not I who put 'Principle against Self-Interest'

The world has languished long enough under the tyranny of thought, under the terrorism of ideas; she is waking from the heavy dream, and the day of joyful self-interest follows. She is ashamed of the contradiction in which the church, the state and the philosopher held her captive, the contradiction they placed between self-interest and principle . As if one could have a principle in which he had no interest, an interest that didn’t become for the moment a principle. But you should, you must have a “pure” principle, self-interest is “dirty.” You must only behave “philosophically” or “critically”; otherwise you are a “clumsy,” “crude,” “random,” “particular” subject. — Stirner, Philosophical Reactionaries

This thread is amusing because I read OP's posts in James's voice.

Sorry anon these are all wrong, it's like evolutionary psychology (which is itself more than dubious) stripped of any altruistic traits, which obviously lowers your chances of survival.
>actually altruism is part of being mighty
Nope

yes this can be done, it's called a standard, you can make a thermometer calibrated to measure boiling water at 8 degrees, did any of you retards pay attention in physics class?

You should worship God then, since metaphysically speaking, God is the most powerful possible being.

>>25326972
All right Thrasymachus, chill the fuck out.

more of a commitment to determinism than an ethical stance

>>25329458
Determinism is undeniable to anyone with even a basic understanding of physics and biology
