What is the basis of morality?No one can answer that, also what is the point of of keeping those morals once you can get away with whatever dilemma you are faced.Is there any reason to not lie and steal your way through live other than god doesn't like it?Even so, why does god even care. Is it so he can show of to his god friends and say look how well behaved they are?

>>18128908Societal consensus. That's literally all morality is. Things are moral if the majority believes they are moral. After some time society changes, so morality changes. We were perfectly content with slavery for thousands of years and then often it became unfashionable, it was no longer moral.

For organisms that reproduce sexually, their entire evolutionary development hinges on finding a partner to fuck and spread their genes.Many may think that it is actually survival that is the end all be all in life, but that’s just because in most cases, the well being and survival of adult species is conducive to reproduction. There are moths that have no mouths and are doomed to die, but they are that way because they reproduce before they die. They reproduce before their deaths would have any impact on their reproductionThis is why humans have shitty wisdom teeth. By the time a primitive human’s teeth betray them, they would’ve fucked and spread their genes since they where 13.The seemingly inherent morals that many religions acknowledge are no different; these behaviors were conducive to reproductionSure, a cave grug could dominate others and spread his genes by murdering his fellow men and taking their women, but this behavior is hardly able to foster any sort of cooperation between men, moreso humans as a species. You can only go so far on your own. When you aren’t killing your fellow man and raping their wives, you can trade pelts, share food, build shelter, share techniques in stone tools, and find a level of success and ultimately increased chance of reproduction that is far greater than what a single unsociable man would find. Over the years, the benefits of these morals out-competed the rape grugs and as result, we now have those morals inherent to us, much like how herding dogs will guide sheep. Eventually technological and knowledge advanced so much to where the once asocial/amoral behaviors could emerge; they had civilization already pre-established for it to flourish, and for many civilizations that oncemore adopted these behaviors, they fell due to natural selection>>18129294low IQ nigger

I definy an axiom as a statement that can't be denied without assumig the axiom. I suspect hoppe might be on to something with argumentation ethics
>>18128908The basis of morality is the existence of God and the fact that we are all made in God's image, meaning we are God's inheritance. Since we all belong ultimately to God, it is not our right to take things away from God that do not belong to us, such as property, wives, or a life. From an evolutionary psychology perspective, the idea of reciprocity tells us that it's bad to do things to others that we wouldn't want done to ourselves, and when you start going down the road of evil, you open yourself up to retribution by God and his servants.

>>18128908I would pull the lever before it hits anyone. I don't care about morality, and religion can go fuck itself, but a singular person can have more of an impact in life than a shitty few millions would ever have in mine. Hell, knowing me, I would die of an overdose in a few months if I had more than 70.000 bucks.Now, hypothetically if the first million people on the track were bad people... I wouldn't pull the lever until it almost hit the good person even if I didn't get anything
I would let that thing rip through about 70% of the population even if I got nothing for itToo many people on this kusoplanet
>>18128908>What is the basis of morality?Everyone gets a turn at the lever. Without morality, reality collapses.
>>18128908God cares because His nature is holy. Saying that God cares about sin is like saying God is God.
>>18128908I would pull the lever at 99 million, honestly.

>>18128908>What is the basis of morality?>No one can answer thatI can because I'm not a retard.The basis of morality are feelings which are in turn informed by the evolutionary pressure (involving both biological and social evolution) selecting for behaviour that produces the fittest social groups.
