Reply to comment by productofpainnz in New Zealand proposes taxing cow burps to reduce emissions by TDYDave2
...complained the guy who lives in paradise. You are so hard done by. It's a tribute to your fortitude you've held on this long having the misfortune of having been born in New Zealand as one of the globes top 2% of wealthiest humans on the planet. Thank God you have a supercomputer in your pocket that enables you to post your plight and reach out to the rest of the world. Where do we send the emergency humanitarian aid?

Reply to comment by tapirbackrider1 in Patricia Churchland argues that morality is rooted in our Darwinian biology. She links morality to warm-bloodedness, which required an adaptation to care for others (originally, infants). This is the biological basis for unselfish concern, and later, moral intuitions. by Ma3Ke4Li3
Did Rosenburgh consider that evolution acts on genes and not individuals? And that humans are the only animals that can speak of another's actions and bear witness to the immoral behaviour of others? If ya miss out on the individually transcendent nature of both genes and speech, I imagine human altruism and morality might require some ad hoc metaphysical component injected in there to make sense.
