If we can't do that, we basically have "people are different, and they do stuff that affects others."Guys, I have loved reading your back and forth on this. Since this above quote appears to be how the world actually is, how does that fit into the framework you're constructing?
Quote: It may be true, but it leads to a kind of metamoralistic question: is it moral for any subset of a population to establish (still through their deterministic therefore objective processes) a moral code? If the answer to that is "no," then we're in Koolay-land.You would have to rely on utilitarianism here, since you would have already determined that objective morals don't exist past the individual.
Thanks for having this discussion- it's fascinating.
