Do they arise from physics, which itself arises from empiricism, which itself arises from a distinctly Western set of philosophies.<br /><br />Do they arise from the social order? Again, that isn't existent in a vacuum. Common sense? What's either "common" or "sensible" about it? Where does the idea of "common sense" even come from?<br /><br />Can he distinguish morality from ethics? Apparently not. His muddle-headed discussion doesn't even take into account Sartre's humanistic ethics, because Weinberg takes responsibility only for what he wants to be responsible for; the rest is somebody else's problem.<br /><br />As for his family, on what algorithm does he advance the case for his concern for his family? Genetics? He has no genetic connection to his wife. Electrons, neurons, protons, quarks, mesons? Where does it reside? Does he love his wife? Does he need to determine that absolutely, or does he just figure "Yeah, I guess so"?<br /><br />His "moral feelings" tell him to love his family? What the hell does that even mean?<br /><br />What a fatuous ass.Rmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811456254443706479noreply@blogger.com
