Anybody here on the Mars manifest?

Why do people always assume morality must be derived from invisible and abstract sources, like gods? Totally puzzling to me.

 

That's certainly not what I said and doesn't address the point I was making. Perhaps it's beyond your ability to see what I'm getting at?

 

You can't pick and choose parts of philosophies as you see fit to support your current argument. You flip back and forth all the time in your approach to philosophy....it's just simply inconsistent.

 

Btw, I don't derive morality from invisible and abstract sources either....but you're not keen on hearing the points others are making.

That the earth was dying.

 

Nope.  Already a corpse and completely unsalvageable until we get off it.  No chicken can stay in the egg once the good stuff is gone and they've grown.  We've grown and outlived our welcome.  OTOH, you may expect nature to handle it on her own if we don't fix it. 

 

Any, more interesting fish to fry as you may see above.
