One thing that interests me about human nature is that EVERYONE tries to be a good person. There dont seem to be any exceptions to this.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying everyone IS a good person. Only that everyone tries to convince themselves that that their morality is good.
Even serial killers often claim they were doing "gods work" as if somehow murdering innocent people is a good thing.
I think it is in this quality that there is the most hope for humans, even when we loose our way. The fact that everyone, no matter how disturbed they are, is always looking towards a moral compass, even if that compass is broken.
@freemo just like universal grammar for languages, I wonder whether there is some test for universal moral grammar. Children should be the best candidates for this. But then again the universal grammar is some sort of meta-axiom which is useful to conceptualise stuff but doesn't really have some empirical reality. What do you think?
