Actually, it says 60% "accept or lean" consequentialist. I call that confirmation of my generalization.

Having 60% 'lean or accept' something sounds like a debate, not like 'most are hastily and dogmatically rejecting criticism'.

Support for the other views is *very* low. And to repeat, consequentialism is a view vulnerable to notoriously devastating counter-examples.

2) I think "do professional philosophers disagree with you?" is not a good test of rightness, & produces other results you would find absurd

Moral systems are just attempted rationalizations of specific policy conclusions produced by sentiment, DUH. :D

@Noahpinion I think before you can call something "rationalization" you need a theory of valid and invalid justifications. What's yours?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

My theory of "validity" would just be a rationalization of my instinctive reactions, though. ;-)

Correct. And personally, I think it's just fine.

I mean, I could claim it's bad on sentimental grounds if I wanted to. But I don't want to. I think rationalization of sentiments is good!

It sounds like you don't actually disagree with moral reasoning, you just don't want people getting all snooty realist about it.
