Moral realism is false

Take for example the possibility of torturing a baby just for fun: almost every human being would react with disgust and say it is wrong. Neuroscience has proven that such reaction does not stem from a rational consideration of all facts but rather from instinctive gut feelings.

That's it, instinct. Even animals don't kill their own offspring for pleasure. Common sense. Treat others as you would like to be treated. What is the big mystery to this? Any teacher, shaman or leader who can keep our minds ripe with basic morality is a good benefit. When I pick up a book on Buddha knowledge or on the dialects of Confuscious, it all says the same thing! Be good to your fellows and expect the same. No mystery, who cares from where our morals come, just be loving and kind.

And when lowlife parents shake their baby to death or abuse their children, they have karmically deserved the harshest of penalties. Too bad for them, but they WON'T be missed. But the beautiful children will always be missed.
