Humans don’t have any predators. We’ve created a society where everyone feels entitled to exist. Animals don’t feel entitled to exist. They fight daily to survive. We fight daily to play the game that us humans created. It’s not real, it’s all fabricated...
This is moral confusion. Nature does not set the ethical standards to which we aspire. See the naturalistic fallacy.

- xpe 3y agoThere are well-developed branches of ethics that are uncoupled from any religious assumptions. Including systems of ethics that reject various forms of moral relativism.
- xpe 3y agoThe term "socially constructed" is well-understood by many, including myself. Your use of "fabricated concepts" is not clear, however. Care to define it?

- whalesalad 3y agoI am genuinely not.
- xpe 3y agoOk, thanks. Why did you ask the question of e.g. am I religious? Is there a connection?
