Yeah and a century ago social mores said interracial marriage was immoral and neurotypical humans of the time believed it because society. Ain't nothing objective there.
- derefr 9y agoSocial mores in one particular culture said that. We don't look at what particular cultures think when trying to figure out what morality is. Instead, we look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_universal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_universal s — beliefs shared by every culture across every time period, even ones completely disconnected from outside contact for millenia.
- aaron-lebo 9y agoOk, so what out of that link isn't incredibly abstract? Special speech for special occasions You want to define that? * Toys, playthings * Death rituals, mourning * Feasting * Body adornment * Hairstyles * Art It's a good thing toys and art are culturally universal, but they don't say a thing about morals. It's just that it's hard to think of many things that are actually universally accepted as moral. Even lying is acceptable in various religions in different contexts. We as societies can't even agree on what is and isn't murder or if it's acceptable.
