Moral realism is false

RE: Moral realism is false
Very good points, but too much reliance on genetic coding for morality. There is far too much social conditioning to ignore.

Its a combination of both in my view, but more heavily weighted towards social conditioning. Successful societies will propagate, and this relies on moral imperatives to ensure the success of the society as a whole.
As a general rule this involves those of an equivalent genetic similarities will form societies so we shouldn't consider genetics as the prime mover in terms of morality imo.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
