And it’s revealed this whole time Daleks didn’t hate everything, they just wanted to make the pain stop

Darn! You’re right! We must endure just long enough to sterilize the universe, then. Well let’s get to work, people! :p
 
EX-TERM-IN-ATE!

A world with no hurting people, no more happy people, no more hope of becoming s happy person, just pure unchanging nothingness and a testament to a deformed species who though they could solve everything through death… that is, until another sapient species evolves

@Cirrus Light  
Yes, utilitarianism comes in positive (like maximize happiness) or negative (minimize suffering) and that is the main problem with the latter.

Everyone has wildly misinterpreted this image. It says “no more hurting people”.
 
At first it may seem obvious: no more people that are hurting - okay, so kill anyone who is hurting. Easy enough. Anyone who’s injured, sad, etc.
 
But then you realize that everyone, to some degree, hurts in some way.
 
What it’s really a sign calling for is the end of all sapient life.
 
We’ll need a full nuclear exchange for this one. Make sure not to leave countries out just for being neutral!
 
Truly, we will bring about an end to all suffering.
 
If there were no more people, we’d already have a perfectly peaceful, irradiated world, with no hurting people on it.

Speak for yourself.
 
I’m cartoon horses all the way down.

No more hurting people. Hey ponies, out of curiosity, when did you stop hurting people?

No more fun? J/k (Oh that was dreadful…)

I know. I just love explaining things: though a wise man with green hair once angrily said, “Explaining the joke kills the joke!”
 

I’m only joking so don’t take this too seriously, but who could possibly downvote a #NoMoreHurtingPeople sign? :O

Try and stop others from hurting people, but to put all harm to an end will be impossible.
 
A little that you are able to do, is better than a complete stop that cannot ever work.
 
 
@Background Pony #8D26
 
Kudos, indeed.
 
But again, achieving a little is better than failing to achieve everything, because that is what most people are capable of.

No, I think you may be misinterpreting what that experiment gave light to. The information suggested that behavior is situational, in stark opposition to dispositional behavior. In short, the experiment’a outcome tells us that behavior in general is caused by what is around you, not by what you feel is wrong or right.
 
This experiment’s data also works with the Milgram experiment, where random people administered seemingly lethal electrical shocks to another random person. When the situation changed, so did the behavior.
 
This experiment also tells us a great deal about cognitive dissonance, wherein someone can hold two or more conflicting beliefs when these beliefs fit their situation to be more beneficial for their outcome. Cognitive Dissonance is seen consistently and constantly with members of faith, and even more-so with members of one of the three major religions. This is what helps so many sects within one religion form, because people will tend to change what they believe in order to fit their needs. The situation changes, but they still want to hold their previous beliefs to fit with others, so they say one thing, do another, and so on.
 
It’s worth noting that, even when being observed, this factor had little to no effect on the outcome. Because whoever had authority had it, if they felt they were in charge, they exercised that belief.
 
I congratulate you on wanting to know more about that iconic and very information-rich experiment, but misleading others as to what was extrapolated from that experiment would do more harm than good.

@Background Pony #72B0  
Because it shows that if a person isgiven the power to rule over others they tend to do everything to enforce that power.

@Background Pony #72B0  
Have you heard of the infamous Stanford Prison experiment?

@Registered Anon  
Indeed, well said.

Don’t get me wrong I think discussing like you guys do can be interesting, fine and even very important. I guess I’m just constantly jarred whenever I see it happening on here.
 
It’s like, when I choose to go to Derpibooru, it is usually based on a thought like: “Looking at some awesome ponies, would be pretty great right now.” Kind of as if figuratively going to a virtual pony petting zoo or something.  
So I get into it and start enjoying myself, and then I wonder: “Is anybody else here enjoying these ponies like I do?” So I look at the comment sections and see stuff like this. And it just… It makes me feel like a mix of the Awkward Moment Seal and the Will Farrell Escalation memes, you know?
 
But maybe all of this is more on me than anyone or anything else. Besides, I’m not an admin or the internet or comment section police, not that these discussions are prohibited or necessarily wrong or anything. They just feel a bit out of place to me, but who am I to decide that?
 
Basically, I just wanted to share my user experience, to see if anyone else could relate, or if I’m the one who is out of place?

@Registered Anon  
Yes.

@Background Pony #D627  
Behind all the cartoon horses we are real people with real beliefs.

@Silent Wing  
… In Derpibooru’s comment sections, yeah.  
Of all the places I would have expected serious and intense debates to take place, I’m just a little surprised to see it happening in a place like Derpibooru’s comment sections as often as it seems to do so from my experience. That’s all.
 
But I guess that is just art provoking thought or something like that.

LMAO Just peace yall

@Background Pony #D627  
Are you saying it’s silly and amusing how serious and intense humans are about other humans?

Am I the only one who thinks it’s both a bit silly and weirdly amusing how often Derpibooru comment sections are excessively serious and intense. :-p

That’s when you say, “Man.”
