If I want to

2018-12-05 21:18:00 UTC  

Just a perspective question

2018-12-05 21:18:03 UTC  

Morals exist

2018-12-05 21:18:09 UTC  

On a biological level

2018-12-05 21:18:16 UTC  

well sorta

2018-12-05 21:18:17 UTC  

Absolute morals

2018-12-05 21:18:27 UTC  

But not that rigid

2018-12-05 21:18:28 UTC  

asterisk asterisk asterisk

2018-12-05 21:18:33 UTC  

But you're not changing the underlying meaning of you pursuing what you believe to be true, it is just that you gain a new understanding on what that exactly is.

2018-12-05 21:18:42 UTC  

Well yes

2018-12-05 21:18:45 UTC  

moral truth is revealed in its consequences

2018-12-05 21:18:51 UTC  

What other goal can there be @Dvir

2018-12-05 21:18:54 UTC  

morality only works in retrospect

2018-12-05 21:18:57 UTC  

And meaning

2018-12-05 21:18:58 UTC  

for everything else, you need moral philosophy

2018-12-05 21:19:45 UTC  

The purpose of life is the function of the human person. Which is typically condensed as "the practice of being a rational, social animal".

2018-12-05 21:19:57 UTC  

Or, said another way, "the practice and cultivation of virtue."

2018-12-05 21:20:18 UTC  

Dichotomy didn't give me a philosophical leaning suggestion

2018-12-05 21:20:24 UTC  

maybe I should be a philosopher

2018-12-05 21:20:27 UTC  

seem to be breaking new ground.

2018-12-05 21:20:30 UTC  

Virtue is flexible @Bookworm

2018-12-05 21:20:34 UTC  

Not entirely

2018-12-05 21:20:37 UTC  

But flexible

2018-12-05 21:20:38 UTC  

*disgust*

2018-12-05 21:21:04 UTC  

God

2018-12-05 21:21:11 UTC  

You are moral

2018-12-05 21:21:33 UTC  

@Bookworm People arent social animals

2018-12-05 21:21:36 UTC  

Hitler was a good guy in his eyes

2018-12-05 21:21:36 UTC  

logic is key to decisions.... but not always....

2018-12-05 21:21:42 UTC  

It always is

2018-12-05 21:21:51 UTC  

He says on a social media platform with dozens of other humans.

2018-12-05 21:21:57 UTC

2018-12-05 21:22:06 UTC  

Agree with you on this one worm

2018-12-05 21:22:13 UTC  

People are hella social @Existence is identity

2018-12-05 21:22:24 UTC  

not me

2018-12-05 21:22:28 UTC  

Humans suck

2018-12-05 21:22:40 UTC  

Find me a human who has completely cut ties with society.

2018-12-05 21:22:45 UTC  

You will have found either a beast or a god.

2018-12-05 21:22:50 UTC
