Let Your Consience Be Your Guide  

Posted by Bryan Lake Portland Oregon



Just when I thought philosophy could make some sense of our lives, this guy shows up and jumbles everything up into one big ball of yarn. His argument starts off well. Can science define moral and ethical values through facts? But, unfortunately, his argument is flawed, being that he has taken something we all have out of the equation: Common sense. It doesn't take science to figure out what you're doing is right or wrong. Everybody has a Gemini Cricket dancing around in their heads evaluating the moral and ethical weight of every given situation. You could think of it as a moral equilibrium. His comparison to the Dali Lama and Ted Bundy is laughable. Ted Bundy was not deficit of moral knowledge. He just really enjoyed killing people. Sometimes, knowledge doesn't stop us from doing what's in our heart. Nice try, Mr. Wizard, but science is not the answer to all our problems after all.

Well, I'm just writing this to fill some space and see how this will look on my new layout. So, if you're reading this. You should stop. Really. This is going nowhere. If you're still reading this, you're a moron.
