Not really. It is the aim of sentients. To increase wellbeing and decrease suffering. https://twitter.com/leiferik47/status/979421497193201664 …

I can't, then you will know me to be an idiot instead of thinking I seem like one..... Here goes, and I think it's in line with what the other gentleman said...
-
As beings, we create aims or objectives for ourselves. There is no aim or objective of the universe. It is what it is. Once you use a universal premise, you van use universal aims, objectives or purpose. I dont think there is a universal premise.
-
I agree with that.
-
If there is no universal premise, the statement "it is the aim of sentient beings" becomes "imo, it should be the aim of sentient beings". Moreso If you agreed with my last tweet, that's all the theist you disagreed with was saying (at one point, no doubt the convo meandered).
-
I mean it *is* the biological aim of sentient beings to do things which make them thrive and avoid things which make them die. These are associated with wellbeing and suffering.
-
It;s not a premise. It's just evolution.
-
Okay, agree with you talking about aims of sentient beings in evolutionary terms (barring the exceptions which then die out). I thought the discussion was on morality.
-
Yes, but this is why our morality is based on this.
