How do we draw moral lines with so many different views

[00:00:00]And for groups like the Van der Linde, or even in Assassin's Creed where you look at the the group on the ship, you know, the Jackdaw, >> [music] >> and you say the Jackdaw is our country. The Jackdaw is our family. Adewale I think is his name. He says, you know, the Jackdaw is my country.

[00:00:15]And I know everybody here, and I care about everybody here, and we come first.

[00:00:19]And how can you say that that is wrong? How can you say that the Van der Linde gang is wrong for looking out for their own people?

[00:00:27]Traditionally that has been a very uh geographic thing, right? So, you would say, we have a group, this is our area, we own this land, this is what we believe in. If you want to be a part of our community, you have to believe in the same things, otherwise you can just get out. [music] But when you start taking those you start growing the size of those communities, right? You go from a group like the Van der Linde gang to a city like Valentine, that's got more people in it. To an even bigger city like Saint Denis, that's got even more people in it. And then you go to a state like Lemoyne that has even more people in it. And then a nation. You aren't going to get the majority of the people once you get beyond a certain size it's impossible to get everybody to agree to a certain moral standard, to a certain code of of of a way of living, geographically speaking. And that's kind of been the problem that we've seen as as the world has grown as it has become more uh diverse, more groups of people living in in within a geographic region it becomes harder and harder because when you become bringing groups from the outside, you know, that happened a lot in the US especially in in the 19th and 20th century. We had a lot of immigration from around the world.

[00:01:44]And all of these different groups and all these different countries were coming in and they were bringing a piece of their culture and their beliefs with them.

[00:01:52]And they were starting to try to integrate that and try to try to build that into the fabric of what America was.

[00:02:00]And over time it seemed like a good thing. It seemed like it was working.

[00:02:03]But somewhere along the way, especially in the past 20 to 30 years, there's been a shift in that in the view of that. There's been a shift where people have said, "Well, wait a minute.

[00:02:13]I don't like these values.

[00:02:16]I I don't think that this should be a part of You know what? We need to push these values out. They don't align with what I believe."

[00:02:24]Rather than being accepting, rather than saying, "Hey, let bygones be bygones. As long as you're not hurting anybody else, you know, it's one thing to say uh to have laws, right? To have to have rules against harming other people. But the question is, where is that line and how do we draw it?
