Oh, the evolution myth ? =] Anyway, I provided an instance of people feeling they did something wrong not because they were told so, but because of ‘something’ within themselves, which is usually referred to as conscience. Such a natural phenomenon doesn’t seem to square well with amoralism, does it ?
Also, there’s the natural phenomenon of sympathy, which admittedly is not as extended as it should be (haha), but it’s there nevertheless.
I answered that one yesterday - here . Yes, I know La Boetie. I also understand that people who like philosophy have a tendency to think that ideas are oh so important. I think they are at least partially wrong. The state exists basically thanks to the cops and the military, not to the nonsense the media and other ‘intellectuals’ spout.
Okay, now what about the system of ‘rational’ ideas which delegitimizes all aggressive violence and favors no arbitrary group but all individuals ?
