Morality is social construct
| You should read Pascal's Pensee. Or maybe even Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.
'Cuz you need Jesus.
| OP is a social construct
| >>99995 counterpoint: morality its a man made thing, but you shouldn't need it to not being a dick and the lack of it dont gave you the right to be a dick.
| Moral is a social construct, so what defines what being a dick or not falls in the same category.
| Well, its existence is not empirically provable, so if you're the type of person who doesn't believe in spirits or the afterlife or gods or whatever you probably won't believe in objective morality either.
| Of course it is! Society developed this morality, which leads to most parents teaching their kids this morality, which leads to the majority acting moral! We can't fullfill everyones needs, so we have a democracy, which isn't the governance for everyone, but rather for the majority! But again, not everyones need can be fullfilled, so it's best that way
| Plus if you don't like one country you can move to another. They rape kids in some countries.
| So does OP really just want to talk about ”whether or not actions should be judged by their motive or their consequences"? IMO actions should be judged by their consequences to an extent, mainly because in 2017 you can't tell what is going on in someones head no matter fucking what. Ultimately, until we died there's no chance of knowing true intent, at this point in time.
| Morality? You say this word in this board, where traps are gay?
| Ever heard of "Rule 1: Don't be a dick"?
Intelligence allows us to [conciously] be dicks, so morality was designed in many cultures to avoid unpleasenties during social interactions, and, ultimately, to this day prevents turning our civilisation into whole species of dicks.
One of explanations for Fermi Paradox says that we don't have aliens cause the majority of them failed to prevent critical point of dickery and destroyed themselves before going to space

| chemtrails are a government construct
| WHERE ARE MY EXISTENCIALISTS AT?
| morality is a social construct. it is a low-level social construct that has direct ties to in-born biology, explaining why it is present in societies around the world, in humans and in other animals. some moral structuring is, however, carried in the societal side-channel of information storage that has evolved in smarter social animals as a more volatile counterpart to genetic storage. imagine it like a computer network: your machines all have an off-the-shelf infrastructure of
| HYPOCRITE THAT YOU ARE, to trust that your choices carry no moral weight, whether right or wrong. The existence of non existence of a universal "good" or "evil" is based on that which is unknowable.
Will you fight? Or will you die like a dog?

some kind, so machines of the same sort are manufactured with matching firmware. however, once they're connected to the network, they start downloading information from other peers, who can share all sorts of software with them. morality is a hybrid phenomenon, like a chipset with features that are later soft-patched for some errata.
people get so vehement about these things because they take extremist positions (it's either all soft or all hard!) despite obvious

evidence to the contrary, that is that morality is both a universal phenomenon and that it varies from person to person. i guess the violence is just yet another instance of complementary schismogenesis, with small disagreements ("my value X is innate!" "i don't think it is...") slowly growing and pushing people to extremes
| Guys, you do know OP is psychotic right?
| Humans are biosocial creatures thus we need social constructs
