So neither of you read the part where I explain why that is a bullshit answer to anything? I assume she did, maybe you didn't.
Let me put it another way: what possible value can morality have other than maximising the wellbeing of conscious creatures?
What is the point of morality to you?
Otherwise what is moral about morality?
Morality seeks to define what is 'good' and 'bad'. You make moral judgments almost constantly. Kind of important for daily life. From Wikipedia:
Quote:Morality (from the Latin moralitas "manner, character, proper behavior") is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are distinguished as proper and those that are improper.
I was pointing out that while you think your morality is objective, it is not."Maximising the wellbeing of conscious creatures" is simply not sufficient to form a theory of ethical behavior. So if it is not sufficient to form a system of morality, what is it that you are basing your system on? Not science. What then?
