#moraldecisionmaking — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

Thanks, I will listen to Joe's Garage as you suggested. Nothing wrong with that. 😉

I'm afraid that our disconnect on this topic is due to difference in conceptual background, not on basic differences between us on what we consider morally right or wrong.

I see your points, and I agree with you, under the assumption that I do understand your context and perspective.

I tend toward big-picture, abstract thinking that might be considered mathematical/logical in nature. So it's like I'm trying to explain that 'gravity' is not what really explains objects falling—it's better explained as curvature in space-time.

Why do I do this? Because, as I said, it avoids some significant bumps, discontinuities, non-monotonicities in popular thinking about moral decision-making, and make our thinking more extensible to future possibilities.

But by doing so, I lose my audience. How to effectively convey it? Long one-on-one conversations, but that doesn't scale. A collaborative discussion site on the web? Music? Art? Videos? Games...?

I really appreciate your comments, but I honestly don't know how to approach the project of constructing the necessary background in common given the limited bandwidth.
