“Correct behavior” according to what standard?
Do you believe there is only one universal standard? What is the standard based on?
You are clueless, just from what you said….you have no clue You just repeat phrases as they were told to you.
Calling something moral is a value judgment….ALL value-judgements are evaluations based on an objective.
Your objectives are not universal.
Ego, free-will.
No it’s not…animals will, they have a degree of free-will….and they do not share YOUR ethical standards.
Free-will has NOTHING to do with morality….they only do for you, because YOU’ve associated will with a Judeo-Christian Will….God’s will..
Right…..we, as social species, have an innate, natural selected, sense of morality…because otherwise social cooperative strategies would be impossible. All social species have the basic tenets of morality - like altruism, tolerance, collective identity, sympathies/antipathies, bonding/love etc.
Morality is a method of disciplining individual free-will to collective interests
It is BECAUSE life has free-will, that it must be restricted and directed, and sublimated.
This is not unique to homo sapiens…. What is unique to one species, is that humans encode them….they convert them to words, and write them down and declare them to be divine.
And then they modify them…..they alter them to create larger groups, by reducing individual free-will.
Let’s call such modification “ethics”, to contrast them with naturally selected, innate, moral impulses.
So, what differentiates ethical systems, if anything?
Are they all the same?
Is YOUR ethical standard universal? No, it is not, because YOUR objectives, YOUR motives are not universal, even if they are popular. YOUR Abrahamic/Marxist ethics are not a universal standard.
