[QUOTE="Moral Orel, post: 75157799, member: 377019"] If I like killing people and I'm sneaky enough to get away with it, then I should kill people. Eh... It depends on how you're using "arbitrary". If you mean "random" like some folk use the word, no, there is a solid explanation that is only [I]semi-random[/I] that we as a species generally evolved certain desires. If you mean "unimportant", then yes. You've already agreed that there aren't values we [I]should[/I] have, so no value is more important or better or what have you than any other value. It sounds to me like you're being [I]descriptive[/I] and not [I]prescriptive[/I], which would mean you agree with me on subjectivity. If you're just describing values, and describing what we do with values, then sure. I don't like the word "should" for that, I think it's misleading just like calling behavior "right" and "wrong", but whatever. Are you merely describing and nothing more? [/QUOTE]
