What is innocence?

To be innocent, you need an equal (or greater) amount of true-care, or natural-respect, to your self-interest. And you need to lack sadism.

So if you had 1 unit of self-interest, but had 0.3 units of true-care and 0.7 units of natural-respect, you would be innocent.

These terms: self-interest, sadism, true-care, natural-respect are defined in my 3D morality map.

Almost all humans are not innocent, they have NO true-care or natural-respect.

All humans make innocent choices sometimes, even purely self-interested people, and at that moment they are innocent. But for a purely innocent person, all his choices are innocent.

Most "purely self-interested people" are seen as good people. For example, I see president Obama, Albert Einstein, Michael Palin (the comedian), and... well loads of ordinary people that I knew and liked in real life as "purely self-interested". Maybe they are or are not. But that's how I see them.

Many stupid people say that it's too much to ask to be innocent. Or that "you have to be an angel in order to be innocent, and who wants to be an angel, so whats the use of being innocent?". Well, they are wrong because they don't understand 3D morality. You can have self-interest AND be innocent.

In my 3D morality map, there are 5 different ways of being innocent. You don't have to be an angel to be innocent!! Angels are innocent. Freeists are innocent. "Respectful-ones" are innocent. "Respectful-freeists" are innocent. Even "Isolationists" are innocent.

In paradise, EVERYONE will be innocent. That's the only way for it to work.
