An evolved mind can create a delusion of meaning, but it can't create meaning.

I don't believe you.

I thank you for the Hitler quotes. They certainly suggest he was some kind of creationist. But who knows if he was being sincere or merely pandering to a theistic audience?

Wait, are you trying to call Hitler a Poe?

Puh-lease

Re: Quibbles the quibbler

But what about my quibble? Not cheating in a board game... when you know you you're not going to get caught.
That's not going to harm anyone, either way (it's a board game...).
Is this "moral"?

Meh, not really. It's, like, inconsequential...

In which case... your definition of morals may need to be adjust along the lines of my suggestion. Or would you define the problem away and call this something else, like "honour?"

Yeah, that's prolly what I'd do

Except I'd spell it right without that stupid "u"

Re: Quibbles the quibbler

They're all connected... morals, honour, righteousness, protecting-the-weak...
But perhaps they are not all strictly the same thing.

Yeah, they are different things, but they all stem from the same thing - our internal consciences.

I'm interested in what drives that, but I don't have the time for a proper response right now.
