On Moral Authorities

[robvalue]

Sure. Well, I'd say there is no universal goal. You won't get everyone to agree on a goal. But you could hopefully get the majority to agree on some vague principles. The way society works, this happens naturally anyway. But different societies go in different directions. The civilises West would mostly be concerned with human wellbeing. The extremist Islamic areas in the East are more concerned with what Allah wants, than human wellbeing. Clearly, since they're willing to kill people and blow themselves up to please their God.

So morality is just culture dependent, and further than that, it's different for each individual. Judging others as moral or immoral isn't helpful ultimately. Persuading them why this is the case is what matters. This is why it's the reasons why you act a certain way that are important, not the act itself.
