[MD] A Science of Morals

[John Carl]

I agree with Ron when he says,

"science is a moral value. Once that is realized cultural relativism is a
non issue."

and I thought most of the Harris stuff was just like, duh, to an moqist, but
Arlo has to go a throw a grain of sand into the works with:


> But what if two cultures value science differently ... who claims the

I'd say the difference is resolved, like most differences, intellectually.
 That is the role of the intellect, is it not?  To weigh and consider,
analyze and define.  Figure it out.  Not from a values-free perspective, but
an MoQ perspective that there is a "closest to Quality" answer and we just
need a patient enough process to arrive at it.

And how do you know when you've got it?  Because it feels right.  In a two -
way conflict, "feels right" is defined by "both parties are satisfied".

Whaddya do with people who are never satisfied?

Stick 'em with the people who are always satisfied and watch 'em bash it
out, I guess.
