DIFFERENCES IN MORAL INTUITION 1 – Subjective moral intuition = Personal reproductive strategy. 2 – Gender differences in moral intuition = Gender differences in reproductive strategy. 3 – Class differences in moral intuition = class differences in associative, reproductive, productive, political, and military market value. (continuous reinforcement) 4 – Group differences in moral intuition = demographic distribution (sizes) of the classes (primarily driven by the underclass). BIOLOGICAL (EVOLUTIONARY) BASIS Differences in moral intuition are demonstrably measurable in differences in brain structure and endocrine expression that vary from the female solipsistic and psychotic on one end to the male autistic and anti-social on the other. (Yes, really. See Baron Cohen). EMOTIONS ARE RESPONSES TO CHANGES IN INVENTORY Meaning, that we collect everything that we can make use of from information, narratives, to friends, to associates, to family, to children, to items, to physical goods, to territory to interests in private or collective goods, and our emotions merely reflect changes in those assets. (Yes, really). MAN IS A PURELY RATIONAL ACTOR 1 – All actions re purely in one’s self interest. 2 – Submissive moral positioning means you are open to opportunities and trusting – because you have limited value to others, and are highly dependent upon others. 3 -Dominant moral positioning means you are skeptical of opportunities and have lower trust – because you have high value to yourself or others, and are independent of others. Powerful people filter opportunities and select the best, and weak people broadcast willingness to cooperate. This is why physics, economics, and cognitive science are so important to understanding the world as it is so that we can be happy in the world as it is, by maximizing our opportunity in the world as it is. Otherwise we are continuously frustrated with ourselves, others, and the world, because we wish the universe conform to our wishes rather than adapt to the conditions of the universe so that we make best use of it. Man flocks, swarms, and schools to opportunity. Opportunities are exhausted. People defect to other opportunities. We balance our self image, status signals, emotional, intellectual, and physical costs when choosing which opportunities to pursue. Man is a very simple creature. But we can invent endless fantasies.

1) If you cannot produce an operational description, then you do not know of what you speak.
2) Logic consists of tests of constant relations between two or more states by contrast (competition).
3) The Logics consist of GRAMMARS: rules of continuous disambiguation that allow us to isolate and test constant relations between states.
4) We have produced GRAMMARS that include positional names (math), perceivable dimensions of reality (modal logic), through ordinary language, through fictions (archetypes and plots), through the fictionalisms (theology, mythology, pseudo rationalism, and pseudoscience), and even deceit (really, it’s possible to articulate the grammar of deceit -the rules of conflation, inflation, suggestion, obscurantism, overloading ).
5) The logical program is still unscientific (justificationary) since it is impossible to prove a truth only demonstrate (prove) a possibility. Ergo, the purpose of the logics is not to prove truths, which is impossible outside of reductio (trivial and meaningless), but to identify falsehoods.
6) This is why (a) demands for proof rather than requests for explanation are all acts of fraud or fallacy, and (b) we do not seek to prove anything in science, only demonstrate we cannot falsify it and as such it remains a truth candidate.
7) The only certainties are falsehoods, and all else is a truth candidate. (Critical rationalism), and furthermore, that other than cost, truth candidates are absent comparative probability.

Philosophy For Grown Ups
1. The only truths we know for certain are falsehoods. Everything that is not false is a truth candidate. This is the inverse of the fallacy of justificationism and the central insight of the sciences: the means by which we invent or grasp an idea contribute nothing to whether or not it is true or false. Only exhaustive falsification and survival from criticism deliver confidence that actions produce anticipated outcomes due to our comprehension of cause, effect, and the operations that are possible. Otherwise we are forever justifying whatever it is we seek to justify by any set of excuses we can imagine. This is why astrology, numerology, theology, philosophy, and the pseudosciences are so common – justification means absolutely nothing. 2. The only preference we know is the one we demonstrate. The only good we know is the one we mutually demonstrate by acting upon. People report very differently from what they demonstrate. The only morality we know that is we must avoid criminal(material), ethical(direct), and moral (indirect) imposition of costs upon one another. The only moral actions then are those that are not criminal, unethical, and immoral, and that means the only moral actions consiste of productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, free of imposition of costs upon the investments of others by externality. Ergo, all moral actions are those that are not immoral. There is no recipe for moral action other than that which is not immoral. 3. People always and everywhere demonstrate that they are neither moral or immoral but amoral and rational, doing what they must in all circumstances that they exist in. it is just disproportionately advantageous to act morally for the simple reason that the returns of cooperation always and everywhere defeat the returns on individual action. This is why exhaustive forgiveness of ‘cheaters’ in all walks of life will generally reform them. Because it is in their self interest. This is why we demonstrate altruistic punishment also (high cost of punishing cheaters), because the returns on cooperation are so valuable that we evolved to pay the high cost of punishment in order to preserve the high value of cooperation. 4. People notoriously think they are right and in the right, and acting morally, which is why we have courts of one kind or another among all peoples at all stages of development. And while rules of decidability in courts in matters of conflict vary from the poor and underdeveloped where interests in things, kin, and relationships are rare and collectively owned, to the wealthy and developed where things, interests, kin, relationships, and contracts are universally allocated to individuals and individually owned, the means of decidability in every single civilization is RECIPROCITY. 5. There exist then only one negative moral rule and one universal test of morality: “Do not unto others as they would not have done unto them”. There is only one positive moral rule: the extension of trust to non kin that we extend to kin, until it is no longer empirically possible to trust. – this optimizes cooperation by continuously training malcontents that it is in their interest to cooperate, and ostracizes (punishes) those who do not. 6. There are no conflicts that are not decidable by tests of reciprocity. None. This is why all international law is limited exclusively to the test of reciprocity. So logically(rational choice) and empirically (demonstrated action), and universally (all laws domestica and international at all scales) morality is anything that is not immoral unethical or criminal in that it imposes costs upon the efforts already expended to obtain a non-conflicting interest, in a good, relationship, or opportunity. As far as I know no argument can defeat this that is not in and of itself an attempt at reciprocity (theft, freeriding, parasitism, conspiracy).
