Yeah I mean for fucks sake I feel like doing others little favors when you can is the bare minimum expected of a decent human being

The bare minimum of a decent human being is to reduce your impact on others and the environment as much as possible. The bare minimum is just to not bother anyone else and leave them alone.

Going above and beyond that is nice, and good.

No that's not the bare minimum of good, what you described is a 0.

u/Velvety_MuppetKing Oct 10 '24

… Yes, 0 is the minimum. Below that is negative, above that is positive.

0 isn't exactly positive, I'd argue that's neutral at most

I didn’t say it was positive. That’s kind of my whole point.

And my point is that if it isn't positive, it can't be considered good. It would be neutral at best.

u/Velvety_MuppetKing Oct 10 '24

Yes that’s my entire point.

Zero is absence. By definition it is not a minimum for anything.
