:Do you think there are fundamental moral truths?
:It's easy to prove. Imagine you know a guy who's going back in time to kill baby hitler. We're all basically okay with that. We like that guy.
:Nah, it's all social signalling
:-
:But, imagine he's going back in time to eat baby hitler. What do you think of him now?
:See, you're automatically evaluating his moral standing in your social group. He's up because he signalled willingness to harm bad people, but he's down because he signalled he has the taste for baby flesh.
:Hmm
:We're all just glorified stimulus-response machines, constantly evaluating esteem for others based on benefit to self.
:If it's all signalling, why do we take these long walks together? Why keep me as a friend:
:We have kidney transplant compatibility.
