Sam Harris: Science can answer moral questions

[Purple Rabbit]

Yeah, but that is a choice for a specific moral goal.

But if moral is defined as "better well being" and "less suffering" then there are factual matters about that.

So when you say it's a choice for a specific "moral" goal, what do you mean by "moral" goal if you don't define moral as above?

Moral is opinion on how one should act. Because it is opinion, it cannot be transformed to fact. There is a choice involved for a goal like "less suffering", but a Macchiavellistic moral goal for instance wouldn't include "less suffering" for other people. There is not a way to objectively settle the dispute between the Macchiavellistic goal and the "less suffering" goal. There is no intrinsic truth to either of them.
