Stick around...
What's your opinion on objective morality? Hehe
Oh thanks, ignoramous, go PHD query on me right out the gate! Trick question, right? Multiple choice? Uh, well, there are objects out there, yes, I have noticed these objects, so many of them out there in fact, you could never notice all of them--all at once, anyway. And these/those objects dont have nervous systems, so they dont have morality, they just kind of hang out. Er, then you have these things called "sentient beings", due to the fact that they have nervous systems in varying degrees of development and at some point "up the ladder" those nervous systems are sophisticated enough to "feel" things, have emotional capacity, and make some sort of judgement as to pain and pleasure, hence including a judgement of "right" and "wrong".
At this stage, I would say any creature of such capacity has morality as described and that morality is subjective, but is normally collectivised according to the group: that is, everybody feels and judges the same way about pain/pleasure, hence good/bad and that forms collective, subjective morality. Is there any objective morality? According to the line of reason I just laid out, I would have to say, no, there isnt.
Ok, can I take a coffee break now? And am I getting paid for this?
Quick question for you: how many birds in flight globally right.....NOW.....no.......NOW.....no......NOW!?

WHAT THE!? Sheesh, I came here to NOT be attacked to death. But haha, you're just an ordinary pleb here, join the masses! Man, I wrote a TON of great stuff over yonder there. Maybe someday they will realize what they lost. Too bad for them.

I hate taking meds myself and it would be hypocritical of me to over do meds for my patients.
Absolutely Doc. I mean, if you are going to crack my chest open, I'm not taking an herb. Meds do have their place when nothing else can or will work. I'm not dissing all meds. The specialization in medicine often leads to overprescribing of multiple meds, and you get the interactions etc.
