Exactly, jorm. Exactly. It's very advantageous to me from the standpoint of evolutionary biology (hell, it's advantageous to the species), and yet, as a moral proposition....wrong. Is that not out-thinking our biology, or unmooring our moral propositions from an evolutionary underpinning that may not describe "the good" only the "good-for"?
I didn't actually -have- to try that hard to present such an example..but I did mention that our moral landscape is rife with them..so why would it require that much effort in the first place?
Let's try another, just as easy as before. Rape and Pillage.
