I mean, isn't morality all about doing the right thing in the face of perverse incentives? If status gains can be used to excuse anything we do, where will it all end?
- kolleykibber 8y agoWith better incentives hopefully. Nature has no care for morality.
- unknownkadath 8y agoIf you find a prosecutor in nature, you should contact Sir David Attenborough. That would have the makings of an extraordinary documentary!
- hedvig 8y agoHumans do. Humans are the only species with the capability to transcend their nature.
- makapuf 8y agoBut do you think they have this ability ... by nature ? Which makes it human nature ? Which is thus not transcended ? This can be an argument to say that having the innate sense of good vs bad (if that's a thing) can have a species incentive, not an individual incentive. which we share with many species, come to think of it.
