it's really quite simple, all morality is emergent from the balance of order and chaos chaos is at present abundant in the universe, hence systems which create more ordered patterns are good, and those that scatter or disrupt ordered patterns are bad the key is that the patterns enabled by order should strive to be ever more complex, order itself can be subverted into repetitive and boring viral systems which are themselves just chaotic agents and must be guarded against

moral relativism is an extremely dangerous position op and allows evil and suffering to prosper unchecked. Cultural relativism is the first step towards the slippery slope of moral relativism and its the disease of postmodern capitalist society and needs to be destroyed. burn all anthropologists and sociologists who abide by it imo loving lmao if you genuinely believe that there are no universal goods and evils

Sir John Feelgood posted:If your post didn't already make perfect sense, your avatar would make me want to believe it. It's a picture of a dog in a suit, and the combination is very appealing: dogs are maximally good-natured, but they're known to be dull-minded and lazy, and while you might want a dog around to play with you, you wouldn't want it to weigh in on a high-stakes intellectual debate such as the one going on here. The suit, however, cancels out those attributes that would prevent the dog from being welcome in this conversation and replaces them with attributes we value in a conversation like this. The suit conveys that the dog is not only smart but sober and judicious. He offers an opinion hard-won through academic rigor. To sum up, he's wearing a suit, so I respect his acumen, but he's also a dog, so I find him instantly congenial and unpretentious. In other words, a good dog. The best dog. op, the dog was put into a suit to take a funny pic of. it's just a goof. seems likely the av was captioned with academic sounding titles as part of the joke; notice how they are dog puns

Zeroisanumber posted:I believe that morality is a feeble human notion and the universe doesn't care about what's good. We are the universe. The universe created us. As a species we were born of the universe. It is a fallacy that we are separate. So our morality is the universe`s morality. Like Sagan said, we are a way the universe can know itself.

I have literally taught moral relativism at a major university. In my expert opinion, pretty much everything said in this thread is retarded. Including the contents of this post.
