THE GRADUAL CONVERGENCE OF VALUES AND THE LIMIT OF THAT CONVERGENCE
You know there are plenty of scholars who can answer many of the questions I do. The difference is that I have a conservative and judicial agenda of truth-before face regardless of cost. So one develops a trust in certain public intellectuals because you have an affinity for their moral bias. The reason this distribution of intellectuals is necessary is the problem of directly accessing and synthesizing the information from the sciences and history.
If you follow my or my good friend Rudyard Lynch (@whatifalthist) you will find we have the same moral intuition, and same understanding of history, but I am concerned about governing and he is concerned about the governed. Even if we agree on everything our position will vary by this degree. So even people who agree on most everything still emphasize some set of dimensions of value vs others.
But just as we see the physical sciences converge on a universal paradigm of universal commensurability, we also see the convergence in the behavioral sciences, and eventually morality – that if moral should and almost must, be consistent with the physical behavioral and physical sciences if we are to claim it is true.
I do see this convergence. Though I do expect that the IQ and neotenic differences between major populations (races, ethnicities) to persist and as such the utilitarian composition of m oral rules in those polities must meet the needs of the demographic distribution within those communities.
hugs all.
