      @KaliZara @024601 @SamHarrisOrg @JeffNippard But that isn't to say we shouldn't try to be ethical. But there are no rules to say we should.

      @matt_j_dunn @024601 @SamHarrisOrg @JeffNippard the only thing that makes sense is whether or not it tallies with your intuition.

      @KaliZara The same could be said of physics and mathematics. Logical consistency is a matter of intuition. So what?

          @SamHarrisOrg that's gobbletygook. Physics and math is not intuitive. It's verifiable and falisifiable. Ethics is not. Don't be silly.

          @KaliZara In addition to being obnoxious, it is now clear that you have no idea what you are talking about. Let's cut our losses here.

          @barney_miller @SamHarrisOrg but you must explain to me why this is relevant quas the big picture. Also see my past tweets on the subject.

          @KaliZara @SamHarrisOrg Are you sure ostrichization is the only reason? You don't think humans are naturally predisposed against it?

          @barney_miller @SamHarrisOrg no, most groups are, but asking whether or not they *aught*to be or not is kind of silly

          @SamHarrisOrg so many ppl want ethics to be like math. U put in an algorithm & come up with The Right Thing To Do. It doesn't work that way.

          @SamHarrisOrg the "so what" is that there is no higher moral authority than that. Or if there is, we could never know what it is.
