I see often on internet posts that many people seem to believe that morality is objective and innate in nature. These sorts of claims often come from atheistic individuals who proclaim themselves as enlightened, free-thinkers. A lot of Sam Harris regurgitation all over the place to be frank. But what evidence is there, really, to support the supposed veracity of objective morality? Are compassion and empathy proof? Must it be true because otherwise what the Nazis did to the Jews was justifiable? It seems to me that people allow their emotions to cloud their judgment on this topic. Many intellectuals ( supposed ones ) try to rationalize their own cowardice, i.e., they can't bear the clear, conscious thought of an amoral universe because then they would be tempted to commit acts of " evil ", so they do, essentially, the same thing the Christians, Jews, and Muslims do and create a comforting delusion of the cosmic good and evil. Secular morality is religio-morality minus Yahweh. It's an emanation of the same nihilism, i.e., the hatred of nature.
Speaking of nature, let's take a look at it shall we? Let's go into the jungle. What do you see? Unconditional love? Peace? Justice?
.........Yeah, that's what I thought. Nature is the eternal refutation of religio-morality - of absolute good and evil. Nature laughs with sardonic wrath upon such cowardly and emasculating concepts. In nature - in the jungle, it's an all out war - a competition for resources, females, power, and survival. Organic systems ( animals ) are engines of self-preservation. They will do whatever it takes to survive; e.g., shred other animals alive to consume them. Nature is harsh and cruel - supremely vicious. Her smile is only for strong, brave, beautiful, and all daring. Weaklings and cowards perish without mercy.
Humans are part of nature, so what objective reason is there for one not to behave in accordance with it as it is on a primeval level?
Also, I ask: where is the objective right and wrong? Is it hiding underneath a rock somewhere? Is it tangible? Can someone please ship me a box of 5 pounds of objective goodness? I want to slice it open and dissect it so I can measure it objectively.
Food for thought.
