Random Posts 1 year, 10 months agoMorality as a concept is academic unless it is to decide the big issues we are confronted by in day to day life. In terms of morality of governments? Religions? Autocrats? Humans in cults, ideologues in ideological groups? As i have indicated humans are led. There is nobody home to discern right from wrong. Even the most obvious betrayals of…[Read more]

I agree emotions do play a role in morality because we are not Vulcans.A belief in determinism helps one to leave emotion out of decisions because a determinist isn’t thinking in terms of praise and blame. His behavior will be more in terms of fixing things.

Artificial Intelligence 1 year, 10 months agoI agree emotions do play a role in morality because we are not Vulcans. Much of the time suppression of emotions leads to the best moral decisions, however for those who only make good choices for recognition or some other form of payback you might say the ends justify the means. It is still weak morality, IMHO.

I think the task is to come up with alternatives to utilitarianism, consequentialism etc., which are an intuitive way in but don’t actually really go anywhere in the real world. A good alternative is morality as collaboration – both what happens within the collaboration, and its goal, are subjects for morality.What is nee…[Read more]

All three together is ideal.

Here is ChatGPT (the plain vanilla version) showing us what Cellini’s Perseus would look like if created by H.R. Giger. BTW, I simply asked it to convert the image to jpg format for saving and it did it for me. While it’s a cool image, it doesn’t display any knowlege of Greek mythology. The head should be the head of Medusa full of writhing snakes.
