Your moral compass

[Whateverist]

Morality is subjective. I'd say almost everyone has a compass, it's just some are unpopular/unusual.

People who don't have one at all would presumably be psycopaths, who don't consider any action to be bad or good, even subjectively. Their compass has no opinion, just "do whatever".

So basically psychopaths are the only people with correct views of morality? LOL

I actually believe that's true, that nothing is inherently right or wrong. But I think that I also have my own idea of what right and wrong is that I believe in and stand for. I do think that ultimately all morals are just subjective to whoever is coming up with them. Do you think something is right? What even measures that, and what is everyone's different type of measurement? It's arbitrary as fuck, which is why there's no actual morality.

I like Sam Harris's view though, that you can develop morality through science. I think he's right too, you can observe empirically what is best for others through science.

I suppose you could use science to fine tune a justice system, measuring the results with each new tweak.  You'd still have to decide which results would matter to you and I don't see how science will give you that.  Morality very much is a subjective experience and by that I don't mean 'it's just something you make up'.  I think for most of us it is something you come to experience on a visceral level where it matters.  I do think obsessive preoccupation with morality isn't a good thing.  Those who want to 'excel' at it would probably be better served to get a life instead.
