Smear campaigns, misunderstandings and so on. For example, many historical figures that are now regarded as good people were often vilified in their own time. I thought this was very well written and thought out. Wonderful summary. They totally miss the point. Ignorant and superficial.
Plato himself had stated that the majority of the population would not ever be able to go deeper and access a higher level of thinking. Very well done. That is a good analogy-the internet does allow people to conduct misdeeds ranging from flaming to criminal hacking behind a cloak. You just made my day! I read the story for Ethics class and could not understand the whole of the story. I understand now everything.
Is it better to be an unjust man who is thought to be good or, to be a just man and thought not to be? Is there anywhere a third option?
One that lies somewhere between? What of a man that is neither, and thought to be either? Or would he be gored to death trying to prove his own stilted truth? Would he take up the ring of Gyges to hide from verity, Or to disprove the lie? Nobody knows what is the nature of ideal justice. Is it equality? The commands of whichever ruler or popular ideology is current at the time of asking?
That there are no maps or compasses is a possibility. The good is therefore always and invariably something that men aspire to. The aspiration to the good and to justice is what is good. Therefore what is good or just is not what satisfies the immediate pleasure. Good luck my people. I am here to share a testimony on how I came in contact with a friend who has been helped by one spiritual doctor in Nigeria with a magic ring that has given him unending wealth, fame, connection etc.

I was asked to come back in four days later. Behold when I went back to him my ring was already fortified with power to give me wealth, fame, longlife etc. Intrinsic evil is the opposite of extrinsic evil: It is an act which is naturally intrinsically evil, because the act itself is absolutely contrary to.

We are only just because it is necessary. I believe that it does not take anonymity to be unjust. Time and time again we see people publicly posting or doing equally harmful things on the internet. Outlawing online anonymity will not do anything to deter harmful activities such as scams, doxing , and making threats.
As people grow more and more confident in their ability to speak out and act upon hatred, there will be more confidence in sharing things publicly. In fact, I believe people are shedding their skin of anonymity and embracing the power of their public online personality. Gyges became confident in his actions because of his ring. He acted violently on the power gained from the ring. Plato argues that deep inside, we are innately like Gyges-- we are rule abiding because it is necessary to live in our society.
