Comments by "nuqwestr" (@nuqwestr) on "Did we discover morality or invent it? | Slavoj Žižek and Peter Singer debate for the first time" video.
Discussions like this is why middle-school kids are showing up to class as "furries" and morph into cosplay as adults.

@someonenotnoone "we"? who are the "we" putting people on trail for witchcraft? No one should be burned at the stake for asking a question which presupposes and answer. I'm just asking for a better framed question, one that does not presuppose humans are blank slates subject only to social, linguistic constructs. "Discover Morality" is akin to saying Columbus discovered America. Is "morality" a potential inherit in the Big Bang and emerged through a particular process on this planet? Feynman posited the idea that even quantum reality is subject to evolution, even the speed of light. I just don't think the question is properly framed, and smells of speciesism.
