The rape situation sounds a bit like utilitarianism.
not objectively
Objectivity is above standards
Piracy is only wrong from a legal perspective.
Say what you will about theft, but piracy is on a whole other level, and so intertwined with government we hit a gray area.
Is raping a baby and then decapitating it objectively wrong? And by objective I mean, always wrong even if someone doesn't think so
Of course it is
of course it is wrong objectively
Hell if it weren't for pirates the U.S would have had to rely entirely on the damned Frenchmen to create a navy.
hm
what if
objectively wrong doesn't mean literally every culture has to have moral standard
and like
there can be exceptions
but that thing would still be objectively wrong
Well torrenting is a whole other issue. At least in the west people don't really give a shit about the starving artist trope anymore.
If artists didn't get obscenely wealthy off their works I might find it wrong.
what do pirates and torrents have to do with this
No one is going to bed hungry over a pirated copy of Le Mis.
incest would still be wrong and not just because its impractical
I did say legal, and cultural loopholes Niggler. The base concept itself is reviled, and then you have the gray area of first cousins. The Canadians can testify to this.
They have a higher first cousin marriage rate than Alabama.
What is right or wrong from biological stance?
Killing is "wrong" because it's counterproductive to reproducing and continuing the species. Incest could be considered similar because of genetic deformities. But Nothing is objectively wrong to the universe.
so is theft wrong? @President Sanders📍🇺🇸
I get that morality is not rooted in genetics
But what I define as objectively wrong is something that is clearly wrong even if some people disagree
I know its self centered
but in some scenarios
only the vile will disagree that something is objecitvely wrong
@Deleted User not objectively. But to judge it would really depend on context.
Stealing from a poor beggar? Pretty wrong.
Stealing from a rich billionaire that wouldn't even notice and it wouldn't affect his health or life negatively? Not really.
stealing from the rich isn't as bad as stealing from a poor man, but it is still wrong
because its theft
Is murdering an entire orphanage objectively wrong?
and then defiling their corpses?
and then burning the building down
There is no context that could justify that
At the end of the day humanity has had a primal source for morality since its days fighting other animals in the plains. We had rites of purgation to exile perceived threats to our communities, common things to bring us together (such as rituals), and of course the worry of incest (which is why we used to mate with other humanoids if we were out of options). I mean its not objective morality, but still.
Its simply too excessive
Don't give me the **Oh but a divine entity said he would blow up the earth if you didn't**
