Always surprising to me how many peoples’ moral framework is essentially the Code of Hammurabi with a few layers of indirection.

- CoastalCoder 4y agoWhy does that surprise you? AFAICT, peoples' moral leanings seem pretty consistent over history. (I could be wrong; I'm haven't studied that much history.)
- shuckles 4y agoThere's lots of very popular religions which have different expectations of moral behavior (in theory). It's also not a particularly pro-social moral framework.
