I know that this isn't really the right place to discuss this...

Nice insight smart guy

Nice, you know that's a thing, then I got a conundrum for you.
You ever got your DNA tested? Checked what chromosomes you actually got? What if it's XX and you're a biological female with cock and balls, would you insist people calling you a she from now on?, or just accept people interacting with you as the member of the sex you pass as?

You're dismissing a whole lot of science in one broad stroke there. That basically eliminates any type of study on the human brain or consciousness, and basically all of philosophy.
I dismiss any type of study on the brain that is not neuroscience, yes. Psychology is not a science and we have found that basically none of our supposed discoveries in the history of that field are actually reproducible. Philosophy is not a science either, but that doesn't mean it has no value (except the philosophy of morality/ethics, which is worse than useless).

It is efficient at that, yes. What's your point, and how does it to relate to whether or not morality exists?

I feel like this is a trick question. Maybe I do want to live a happy life as a soul-sucking capitalist (I don't), but it's not relevant to the point I'm trying to make. I'm not an egoist.

Plenty are. Gender and Morality are not among them.

I mean, if you are thinking about entirely self interested things, I guess that can work, but as soon as you involve other people, morality IS involved whether you like it or not. If you acted without any moral sense, you would just murder the first person you saw if you liked their jacket just to take it.

That's not correct. Even higher mammals have a sense of morality and fairness, primates will react angrily if two of them work together to complete a task, and then one is given 5 bananas and the other 1. They instinctively understand some concept of ethics. Granted, it is simplistic, and society builds on top of it.

As user pointed out we can't decide this without morality. Without morality there is no concept of benefit to anyone. It's reasonable to wipe out mankind or it's reasonable to repaint your local football pitch for the kids.

see above

I have no better word for it because you CANNOT make a value judgement without morality. Call it reasonable, fair, equitable, moral, whatever, all those words have no meaning without morality.

What about freeze tag, is freeze tag real?

What about a story in a writer's head that hasn't been written down? What if hes told the story to people already? Is it real yet?

Debating wether something is real is fucking stupid, if it affects people it's a reality of our existence, wether you think it's real or not

Not really, if it meant that you would go to prison you would not do it in order to avoid punishment.

You forget that evolution is about having children and passing on your genes. Moral tribes and societies will protect children and future generations in general better. In addition, it's easy to get a short term advantage through immoral behaviour, but eventually it would often catch up to you. Granted, today, evil people get away with it more often than not due to our complex society and legal system, but in the past, if you consistently stole berries from the communal collection, you were likely to eventually end up with your head caved in, or exiled, which is as good as dead.

Well, yes, it does, morality is ultimately enforced by the individual upon themselves, you will feel guilt for doing something you know is wrong, because it went against your survival instincts, the same as how rotten food smells bad and you don't want to eat it, because humans have developed an aversion to it because it will harm us.

I have a feeling sociopathy is exceptionally rare in the sciences.

True enough, I had a feeling someone would say that, and that is a separate issue of course, there's no real situation where you can do something immoral and KNOW you will never get caught, so the justice system acts as a kind of moral enforcement. The point is that without an understanding of morality, a justice system could never have emerged to begin with, and indeed, a complex society could never have emerged. Perhaps it would be a more apt example to say that without an instinctual morality, Grugg and Ugg would have just killed each other, instead of decided to trade one's fish for the other's berries so they could have a more tasty and healthy diet. And so, society and civilisation emerged from our instinctual moral sense.

I agree with you completely, I think this is real problem that is generally not acknowledged at all. These days a huge percentage of children grow up with single moms, so you have couple of assholes fathering a disproportionately large part of the future population while making the “nicer” people pay for it.

I think that they are attracted to positions that are "social" where they can optimally exploit others, so gnerally finance, business, law, politics, entertainment etc.they just do not really have an advantage much from their privilige when doing math or whatever.
