We have moral instincts to praise love. We appreciate it. But what is the foundational basis to the praise? Simply because we praise it, therefore it's praiseworthy? But we praise because we believe it's praiseworthy.
Our moral instinct is praise love. We evolved praising one another and loving one another.
Without belief in worth of humanity, we wouldn't have made it this far and evolved to what we are.
But is instinct beliefs justification?
Oh ffs man, how many times do I have to say this? Is there some other authority or basis that I should defer to when the subject is what I personally value or why I value it?
I don't know. I don't know if even an objective authority is possible. I don't even know if value is logically objectively possible or that it must be subjective in nature. But being subjective in nature, it seems it must be a delusion.
