MORAL INTUITION IS JUST YOUR GENES TALKING

That’s it. You might be able to intuit very simple common moral values, but your gender, social class, economic class, and family structure are reflections of your genes, genetic history, and are simple expressions of those genes.

And your genes are competing with other genes – either with more numerous “worse” genes, or less numerous “better” genes, for higher status, better allies, and better mates. And as such we advocate if not outright demand adherence to our moral code in order to cooperate with others. We offer cooperation to those who benefit our genes, and deny it to those who compete with our genes.

And what little reason we can muster, and struggle to put under the discipline of our will, is subject to the multitudinous whispers of those genes as they influence our intuition (subconscious), and our intuition influences our perception (consciousness), and our consciousness influences our reason.

Our will is vastly outnumbered by an invisible hierarchy of secret police that conspires to serve our genes regardless of our reason and will.

And so we cannot rely upon our moral intuition to determine what is best for anything other than ourselves. We require measures of everyone else’s moral intuitions – the voices of their genes.

But even if we possess such data does that mean that there is some optimum moral code for all of us to adhere to? Not really. We are optimistic cooperators, and constant competitors.

While we cannot agree upon ends, since that would mean the willing sacrifice of some of our genes for those of others, and result in dysgenic devolution, which cannot be cast as ‘good’, we can agree to cooperate on means, such that we do not constrain one another’s genes, nor assume we have the wisdom to choose which genes best suit human reality.

PROPERTARIANISM IS CALCULABLE – THE LOGICAL ARTICULATION OF INTUITIONS TO RATIONAL FORM

Propertarianism, the missing logic of cooperation, the missing logic of ethics, the missing logic of politics, allows us to discuss all moral systems in transparent, rational terms.

Praxeology was a failure. But it doesn’t have to be. Propertarianism repairs praxeology.
