Which is why morality is social construct. — René Descartes
According to the devil, where is morality from? — René Descartes

Ok, but why? Part of the point I posted this, is to get feedback of reasoning or supporting evidence that I'm incorrect, as I haven't come up with much for counter-evidence so far. — Tyler
Mr Phil: You are ignoring what evolution tells us about why you love your mother. — LD Saunders
I don't see my usage of the word contradicting these. — BlueBanana
Something "existing" outside "physical reality" doesn't sound meaningful at all. — Maw

That however doesn't impose anything objectively, the act is wrong always. — bahman

Charleton: Marx lived off of hiss capitalist friend, Engels, and also played the stock market, which are two more signs of his hypocrisy. You never addressed my points though: Since Marx claimed that everything was predetermined, then why claim a revolution was needed? Also, if people are merely a product of their social class, then how come he and Engels, especially Engels, a wealthy capitalist, were communists? — LD Saunders
Stupid question.come he and Engels, especially Engels, a wealthy capitalist, were communists? — LD Saunders

Personally I don't believe in absolute morals, so even though I have an opinion on normative ethics, I consider the thing to be that it's objectively true that I have a subjective opinion, and not that I subjectively believe something to be objectively true (this applies to most other fields of my philosophy as well). — BlueBanana

And reflect that you are also going to fall into Hume's is/ought problem.

which are approximately 50% heritable. — LD Saunders
Any moral theory that wishes to state what is a morally right thing to do should ground this claim on something. For this to be done, the theory would have to claim objective morality, and thus some sort of a metaphysical explanation and reason for the morality.

It makes Marx a hypocrite, doesn't it? — LD Saunders
I believe so.. WE are the only existential creatures.. Perhaps aliens on other planets too:)? — schopenhauer1

Failure to understand that words are not reality. — T Clark
Did I mention that you're a dick? — T Clark
What is your take on this? Russia seems to be increasingly concerned that it is not given sufficient importance on the world's stage. — Agustino
So I do not say why the idea that something 'exists in the understanding' is connected to the quite different claim that something 'exists in reality'. — Londoner
Let's just remember that those economic sanctions were put into place because Russia attacked it's neighbour, annexed part of it and still is supporting an ongoing low-intensity conflict. — ssu
You stand on firm philosophical ground, I've noticed! — Abdul
gives me the impression he has a mean or nasty view of life. — T Clark
So, to be conscious of any given factor, the memory system just needs to access memory of the factor, — Tyler
