Talk:Water and Honesty

So, basically, we are posed here, 'What is the ethical/moral good choice?'...

If it was me, I would simply say, NO, I am not becoming involved in this materialistic barbarity.

The player has quite a lot of possibilities to choose here, if not a mere video game, and I myself, due to the game restraints, I am not really comfortable with any of them as existing in the game (meta-ethically as an Idealist-Kantian-deontoogist)... Not the only part of RDR I have "issues" with... ANYWAY...

We are given "HONOR" for shamelessly robbing a pitiful old man whose life has been full of harassment by banditry... How is delivering the deed to the gold-idolator or keeping it one oneself,  worse, in criminality, sinking  tothe bottom of the possibilities - how does either, really, exist,as morally integral and tenable?

Only the nihilistic hellions of modernity, a vast global necropolis (see Rene Guenon), in their minds would consider merely and simply opting to not ravage, run roughshod over and/or murder an innocent person, as "honorific" or "honorable-meritorious", frankly... RDR in its worse elements is infected with the Nihilism of the epoch, in its best moments anti-nihilistic and inspiring - I can see how some vile trash like "GTA" might come from such confused mixed-up persons... Nothing is personal here: Socrates, Platon, Yeshua to modernly, Guenon, etc. all tried to warn us against the "beast" of Nihilistic materialism, to no purpose...

I wish RDR was more creative in moral imagination...

UNRELATED NOTE: Apparently I made a mistake earlier and am too lazy to go back and edit the specific talk page: my GUN-based kills in one dead eye session is 12 (possibly linked to the final dead-eye) - I did more with dynamite etc. but why even count that number as meaningful...?
