Morality from the ground up
#21
RE: Morality from the ground up
Weighing the good and the bad of two actions and doing the one with most good should work, right? Of course then another question arises..what exactly is good or bad? What if we based it on survival? that should work. Instead of instant gratification long term survival and well being can be considered.
Although when we base things on long term survival and well being it may not necessarily jive well with people hooked on instant gratification and short term highs. Enough people get this feeling they overthrow the long term based system.

I guess the most ethical way is probably also the most toughest way..
