Re: Are the morals of a lion the same as an antelope?
But everyone's equation on what makes them feel the most good or the least bad is different.
Not everyone's equation always uses "survival" as a factor.
If you want to say it does - you have to show this.
The best I can say is that you don't reverse 3 billion yrs of evolution just because you evolved an intellect. Our intelligence is a progression of that evolution and no matter what your stated basis for evaluating good and bad is it is still trying to push the same buttons that it always has.
Again, what is it about being able to reason that would fundamentally change that 3 billion yr trend?
