Quote:The opinions are the expression of the objective truths, i.e. the moral facts-- for example that people absolutely hate having their offspring killed. If we didn't have the social instincts and mode of perception that we do, we wouldn't be able to form or act on those opinions.Peoples moral opinions -may not be- the expression of any moral fact (some folks hate teh joos), even if it is an expression...of their opinion. That people hate having their offspring killed isn't even a moral statement (it's missing any moral imperative). Yes, our evolved behaviors and whatever underlies those behaviors may inform us as to how we think we should act, we possess moral opinions somehow. We've been over all of this..like, five times easily.....
Do any of our moral opinions correlate to moral facts?
Quote:So, I guess we've officially left the "moral fact as hypothetical best action" idea and we're onto genetics as moral fact.-We- have never been on genetics as a moral fact. Every time you bring it up I tell you the same thing, lol.
