Counters to the Following Arguments?
Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2021 5:38 am
The following has been repeated a "1000" times but Peter Holmes et. al. still have not provided any convincing counter but kept repeating the following assertions;
1. "the moral rightness or wrongness of that behaviour is a separate matter"
is not an issue within morality proper.
Judgments and Decisions are not Morality Per se.

You have not countered the above point.
2. A physical mechanism or function in the brain, that may make us behave in moral ways within a moral FSK is [ ] a moral mechanism or function. re morality as defined.
A physical mechanism or function in the brain, that may make us behave in sexual ways within a sex-FSK is [ ] a sexual mechanism or function.
This applicable to all different functions, e.g. visual, auditory, intellectual, compassion, etc.
note the above is edited, i.e. [ ] replaced [NOT]
3. That humans are programmed to kill for various reason has nothing to do with morality on a primary basis but rather they had to kill for food and basic survival.
I have explained ad nauseam on the above but you have not provided any convincing counter to the above.
Show me your counters to the above.
Peter or anyone?
You are the one who is ignoring all my counters to your above.Peter Holmes wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 1:50 pmNope. There is every denying. A physical mechanism or function in the brain, that may make us behave in a certain way is NOT a moral mechanism or function.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 9:09 am The point is regardless what the individual thinks or does, there is no denying there is the inherent moral function or moral oughtness [the moral fact] which exists as a physical mechanism within the brain of the individual.
And the reason why it isn't is that judgement as to the moral rightness or wrongness of that behaviour is a separate matter. I've explained this to you a thousand times.
For the same reason, that we are obviously programmed to kill humans that threaten ourselves, our families, or our group, doesn't mean that we ought to do so - that it's morally right to do so. For the thousandth time. But ignore this fact, by all means, as usual.
