↪praxis Oh, it's easy to explain, praxis. I think my theory congeals nicely and neatly, but from the point of view of you guys (both genders and the spectrum) I appear to be a monkey screamin' and jumpin' up-and-down in its cage, trying to get attention. — god must be atheist
This point is a thread and half itself and it's not critical to understanding what you are trying to say. Remember we aren't proving anything at this point, but rather laying out what might be.Morality eludes objective definition. Its definition relies on subjective experience, it avoids an objective definition. — god must be atheist
Any universal statements become a target; the reflex to argue is strong with this crowd. Because arguing is fun.Involuntary moral acts are pervasive among all societies, unchanged in required behaviour to the same triggers. — god must be atheist
Another universal.There is no subset of humanity of normal people who would violate the involuntary moral acts. — god must be atheist
I would open with this and maybe change theory to idea. An idea is just something to be understood. A theory entails tests and competition with other preferred theories.No proof provided... this is a theory. — god must be atheist
Thanks, this is a good point. I thought a theory was something that has not enough proof for acceptance, but enough evidence and not enough mistakes / errors / wrong ideas in it to reject it outright as fantasy or fiction.An idea is just something to be understood. A theory entails tests and competition with other preferred theories. — Cheshire
You are absolutely right. Universals are challenging in and by themselves. I did not want to elaborate, but I can't see a parent not dive into water (if he or she can swim) to save his kid in the frothing brime. Or I can't imagine a cat who would not dare a raging fire to bring her kittens to safety. Or I can't imagine a wolf mother who would not fight to the death to save her cubs from other predators.Involuntary moral acts are pervasive among all societies, unchanged in required behaviour to the same triggers.

This is the "comparison" with other moral theories you said I should have done to show this idea, if you like, as a theory.Morality eludes objective definition. Its definition relies on subjective experience, it avoids an objective definition.

Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
