Morality doesn't need to be intellectualised

If you need to stop and think about it, that's not morality

Real morals are instinctive

Real morals come from our genes

Morals can't come from a book

Morals can't be taught

@soundwave on a more serious note it's probably for those people who the law impacts most in their decisionmaking

Like he seems to have said (if this quote really is true) bad people are going to be bad anyways, and good people are going to be good anyways

but doesn't it follow from that that certain people who might have behaved evil in another world won't both due to the punitive reprecusions and the social reprecusions laws set

Allthough i guess the inverse is true as well, lot of people neither strictly evil or good might act badly in accordance with unjust laws...

@minimo

A very long time ago, I got my house broken into once. I confirmed to the Police and the insurance company that I had indeed locked my doors.

The police officer said "locks only keep honest people honest."

I've never forgotten that.
