"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

It took me a while to realize that the moral theory of the Nichomachean Ethics that I espoused presupposed such a standard that, as an ontological naturalist, I could not supply.

No, people are less than perfect because we have nukes but still follow our competitive ape instincts. Breast pounding is much more popular than actually looking for an agreement. That goes for politics as well as economics as well as individual relations. ![[Image: Bumper+Sticker+-+Asheville+-+Praise+Dog3.JPG]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-d-3rfdI7nG0%2FTerwtFyFXoI%2FAAAAAAAACak%2F7kFSmHeVrng%2Fs320%2FBumper%2BSticker%2B-%2BAsheville%2B-%2BPraise%2BDog3.JPG)
"Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp; or what's a heaven for?"

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return - Baruch Spinoza

You're comparing real people, living in a real, complex world to some naive, childish idea of humans, that you got from fairy-tales about princes, knights and wizards. It's a misanthropic view, typical for people who prefer to live in a fantasy world, rather than the real one. It's like that retarded idea, that humans use only 10% of their brains - wishful thinking, with no basis in facts and copious amounts of evidence to the contrary.
"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one." - George Bernard Shaw

It seems to me that our technology and knowledge about the sciences have advanced far beyond that of our forebears - but our morality has not. We have better stuff, but we are not better people.
Yeah, there's a reason you used the word "seems" there.
