Objective morality as a proper basic belief
RE: Objective morality as a proper basic belief
Human instinct alone appears to be capable of producing the moral goods, as it were.  Objective moral frameworks, subjective moral frameworks, the collective opinions of my culture; are these things the reason I don't rape?

Nope.  I just don't want to. Probably born that way. I seriously doubt that my mind is even -subconsciously- filled with rape calculus all day erryday.

Speaking of. Those rapists? Do they not have a subjective or objective moral framework? Are they unaware of the collective opinion of their society that tells them not to rape? No, and no. They want to, they're rapists.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
