OT: Objective moral truth

[Glyn]

Just my opinion.

Morals are a set of uncodified rules that a group adopts in order to interact with some expectation of predictable behavior. Different Groups can and do have different moral codes. If you are a member of a group with a common moral code then you should be able to predict what actions causes what reactions in others of the same moral group. You would be less capable of predicting reactions of members of a group that have adopted a moral code you are not familiar with, and therefore less successful in engaging in productive interactions.

There are probably sets of morals that have a reinforcing synergy so they usually found together. There are probably some morals which have a very high value to all Groups, so they are usually universally adopted.

I would find it likely that some morals could become an instinctual behavior over time, and would feel like a universal truth or law of nature.


Good morals are ones that promote the prosperity of the group over time, and therefore benefiting most of the individuals.

Bad morals are ones that negatively impact the group over time, usually benefiting the individual over the group.
