So you can think whatever you want about right/wrong, and that's your morality. But when you try to act on it, and are constrained by the natural world and the other people in it, you format new system of right/wrong based in compromises that are practical.
OK. In that case, chuck the term "morality" and pretend I never mentioned it. Just focus on "behavior that seems to help others at one's own expense." Is there still a problem?

I'm not sure. Different frameworks trying to match up. I don't see anything in the post about what a person believes is right, only the systems of practical compromises. That's why they seemed conflated, but maybe you just didn't think beliefs we're relevant?

ah yes, that's right. we must be talking past each other
. in the kind of analysis i'm trying to do, i consider beliefs to be (mostly) irrelevant - 6 more replies
