" we know these things intuitively, we learned it over thousands of years -- fire bad, skin being cut bad, seeing my brother get killed bad, hugging good, we do

" we know these things intuitively, we learned it over thousands of years -- fire bad, skin being cut bad, seeing my brother get killed bad, hugging good, we don't need human customs, politics, or some piece of paper dictate what is moral or not."
We don't know ALL these things intuitively. Some we do, but some are purely based on customs, tradition, or arbitrary interpretation of conflicting rules (trolley problem). Which is why FGM is moral in some places, but not all.
- clicks 13y agoI think you're very right here and I certainly agree, I should have instead said that human intuition goes a long way -- but we should capitalize on it with a more scientifically informed view.
