METAPHYSICS
I am pretty sure that there exist no branches of anything in philosophy per se, but simply dimensions of reality, and the methods we invent for testing those dimensions.
Those methods either succeed in providing means of testing the dimensions of reality or not.

I always wonder why we say “economic left, and economic right”, when what we can only possibly mean over any long term is Dysgenic Left and Eugenic Right.

JOSLIN HITS A HOME RUN

So far as I can tell, primitive animism, western discipline-ritual, eastern harmony-ritual, are all ‘good’; and the zoroastrian is borderline; the vedic crosses the border; and the abrahamic religions are all ‘bad’.

you know when a bunch of chicks get together and talk about he said she said? then another group says the same thing but saying its right or wrong but simply give their feelings about it? then another group says ‘well if everyone did that” (the categorical imperative). And then another group says ‘well, you know, we tried that in 1950s”. And then another group says ‘well, statistically it looks like this’. And then another group says “well, this is the set of options available to them at the time, and this is what their incentives were so that is what they chose because they had only those choices”.
That’s what I mean by arguing by moral intuition.
