Eisegetes:
Well I (or you?) really maneuvered me into a tight spot here.
About those options, you made a goot point.
To the question “Which circuits are moral?”, I kind of saw that one coming. If you allow me to mirror it: How do you know which decisions involve moral judgements?
I don’t know of any satisfiying definition of morality. I probably must involve actions that are neither taylored for personal nor inclusive fitness. I suppose the best I can come up with is “A moral action is one which you choose (== that makes you feel good) without being likely to benefit your genes.”. Morality is the effect of some adaption that’s so flexible/plastic that it can be turned against itself. I admit that sounds rather like some kind of accident.
Maybe I should just give up and go back to being a moral nihilist again… there, now! See what you’ve made me believe! =)
