We have a biological intuition to advance the human race, not a value judgement

2019-03-15 06:08:16 UTC  

i wasnt refering to that and biology has no effect on morality equating the two is moronic at best.

2019-03-15 06:08:32 UTC  

why wouldnt it have an effect on morality?

2019-03-15 06:08:53 UTC  

so if i think killing all low iq racial groups would advance humanity i am moraly in the right.

2019-03-15 06:08:55 UTC  

Our current moral framework is informed by biology

2019-03-15 06:09:07 UTC  

that has nothing to do with the biological imperative

2019-03-15 06:09:25 UTC  

what about morality has any link to biology? explain it for my pea brain please.

2019-03-15 06:09:30 UTC  

Biology has a huge effect on morality. Even other non-human species have some sort of moral framework, such as protecting their family from harm, or not just fucking killing each other.

2019-03-15 06:10:11 UTC  

Do you hold a child as accountable for misdeeds as an adult? Do you not consider how likely your family is to survive and thrive when making decisions overall?

2019-03-15 06:10:43 UTC  

there are a variety of components that feed into our moral framework that are based on our knowledge of the world, and our biological drive

2019-03-15 06:11:08 UTC  

biological drive is to procreate so im not sure how that links to morality.

2019-03-15 06:11:10 UTC  

Biology affects morality which affects whether or not we make morally unacceptable decisions.

2019-03-15 06:11:19 UTC  

how does it effect morality though?

2019-03-15 06:11:23 UTC  

explain the link

2019-03-15 06:11:24 UTC  

Without biology, where do we get our morality? out of thin air? god?

2019-03-15 06:11:28 UTC  

stop just saying they are linked

2019-03-15 06:11:30 UTC  

even many nonsensical moral rulings are based on what was, at one point, survival

2019-03-15 06:12:01 UTC  

your drive is to survive long enough to procreate and help ensure your offspring do the same. To that end, you want a habitat that works for you and your offspring

2019-03-15 06:12:06 UTC  

Unless you're religious, there is no other explanation for morality existing. It comes from biology. We evolved to be a sociable species.

2019-03-15 06:12:16 UTC  

to get this you compromise. The collective security pact then abhors wanton murder

2019-03-15 06:12:26 UTC  

because that lowers the stability and safety of the individual components

2019-03-15 06:13:29 UTC  

would any of you ever be soldiers? ever fight?

2019-03-15 06:13:54 UTC  

We doing some fight club shit?

2019-03-15 06:13:56 UTC  

I suspect I'll have to do so, if things continue to deteriorate

2019-03-15 06:13:56 UTC  

I'm down

2019-03-15 06:14:00 UTC  

Maybe, but id have to get into shape

2019-03-15 06:14:03 UTC  

Where we meeting?

2019-03-15 06:14:17 UTC  

sorry can't tell you

2019-03-15 06:14:21 UTC  

you know rule 1

2019-03-15 06:14:26 UTC  

and rule 2

2019-03-15 06:14:29 UTC  

Cant not tell me 😉

2019-03-15 06:15:03 UTC  

Those rules were made to be broken. Ala anarchy

2019-03-15 06:15:08 UTC  

fighting implies killing. you said that murder is wrong but you are willing to fight. a person could now view you as immoral. make sense?

2019-03-15 06:15:22 UTC  

they would be wrong, but they could say that yes

2019-03-15 06:15:33 UTC  

I mean..I've stabbed someone before.. so sure

2019-03-15 06:15:41 UTC  

so if somebody disagrees with you they are wrong?

2019-03-15 06:15:45 UTC  

self defense, and defense of others, is a moral imperative

2019-03-15 06:16:06 UTC  

what if you only intend to defend your personal beliefs?

2019-03-15 06:16:19 UTC  

The reason that different nations fight is because of different moral structures, not because they believe that fighting is morally acceptable, but because they believe that their structure of morality is superior to the other nation.

2019-03-15 06:16:21 UTC  

if a tribe cannot defend itself, it is taken over or eliminated

2019-03-15 06:16:38 UTC  

what do you mean by "defend my personal beliefs"?
