Philosophy is dead. Biology Rules.

Realistically, I don’t know how this debate is even going on. I mean seriously, how could you argue *against* morality being derived from evolutionary self-interest? Social structures and rules governing morality have a distinct bias towards the survival of the groups/entities that create them. Philosophy really just creates an excessive word structure to cover over the fact that we’re anxious about our place in the world. Interestingly, science and religion both explore the whole spectrum of human importance, miniscule to magnificent. But in all of these scenarios, morality is something either imposed on members of a group to align the actions of individuals to support the goals of the many. Ach. My head hurts trying to even consider a scenario where it wouldn’t apply… although I’m sure we’ll soon have some sort of intelligent-design morality argument springing up as soon as the mad Christians get their hands on this as a new fun topic to throw around the bored room. (yes. Bored.)

 

Can’t wait…
