Quote:Sure, we come up with the symbols and concepts, but at least nature actually shows us the answer directly anyway. Unlike with morality where you have to make the judgement yourself. Nature only shows you whether an act leads to this or that consequence, and you have to judge what this means for you based on your criteria.I don't have to make any judgement other than whether or not nature shows me acceptable criteria for right, or wrong. We -all- have to judge what -everything- means based upon our criteria, what's the alternative. This would be an extremely pedantic point to make. I'm not exactly expecting nature to fucking text me bro.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
