i support basmati rice
with science
in theory if a black person has 120 iq and flawless behavior/social skills, and it was guaranteed their children would be the same, are they even black any more?
you aren't answering the question
its an interesting question
whats the question
to claim that your morality is 'based on science' is ridiculous
you have to have prior values
offspring tend to go towards the mean tho
science can help you evaluate what courses of action best fulfil your desires
you can change your moral principles via recursion
im just start posting bbc memes<:smugooze:398100987866251265>
if my initial drive was to dominate, and i realized science and reasoning was the best hope of that
its not even fair anymore
yes, that's true, but it doesn't make them any more legitimate, just a different context in which preferences form
<:dab:395562678153904128>
then i might recursively evolve my moral beliefs
which most of us do over time
as we age and grow
I've never seen an attractive black girl irl
its never going to be 'based on science', though some greater understanding of the world can change the emotional and rational context in which you form values
that's all tbh
whats your proof of that
The current idea of the ruling class is the same as the idea you just suggested btw
To improve humanity as a whole
i dont see how you can make definitive statements about my moral preferences
but you can use science to modify your moral values and "redirect fire"
thats right Rody
Healing the world
Sounds familiar
thats what i mean by recursively evolving your moral beliefs
its a universal quality of values, they are not 'necessary', they are preferred
our preferences arent tabula rasa
theyre born out of our genetics and experiences
I didn't say that they were
and i can shape and redirect my experiences
that's exactly what I said
in a way that shapes my moral preferences
