My point is that science can inform moral decisions, but we have to come up with a moral framework first.
@sjzara But you're a radical eliminative materialist - doesn't that mean moral frameworks are themselves physically instantiated?

@PhilosophyExp They can be symbolically instantiated if we are dealing with abstractions, and I think we might be. -

@PhilosophyExp True, but the frameworks of meaning don't have to be about anything real. - 1 more reply
