To clarify, when I said that morality was conceptual, I was referring to the ways that morality gets broken down or described. Morality exists in the same way that consciousness exists, semantical arguments aside of course.

Morality is a survival instinct ffs. Its not some godly thing bestowed upon us.

The more moral you are the more you help the tribe survive the safer you are. Period.

That sounds too absolute though. Is it at times not more helpful for your tribe to wipe out a neighboring tribe whether it be competing for scarce resources or as a firm of self defense?

that is a totaly different survival instinct than the one that takes over AFTER you wipe out that tribe allowing you to live in harmony with your brothers and sisters instaed of just raping and murdering your sister and brother.

Every emotion, is just survival instincts.

We are nothing more than an animal with a sense of self worth that provides us with the desire to procreate & avoid death, with a side effect of thinking we are more special than are.

All we are is dust in the wind.

So I agree with you in a sense that it's not universally uniform, because as we all know everyone possesses their own mind and their own circumstances in which they live. Some people end up sociopaths, others humanitarians.

I do think that as modern science progresses we'll end up finding ways to correct mental afflictions like sociopathy and psychopathy, which will curb the stigmatization surrounding such afflictions. But until then, we do have to live and find a way to deal with sickly people like Saddam Hussein, bin Laden, Stalin, Hitler and the like.

Nor can you make baseless accusations against someone based on yours.

[paulgiamatti]

Well, I mean, you can, but it's no skin off my back.

I'm glad you finally conceded.

Pure drivel.
