I never officially studied philosophy but I have this vague idea that every debatable topic can be boiled down to ethics; that is what is right wrong.



It is a very radical position to claim everything can/should start from ethics. But could be quite cool. :thumbup:

On a different note, I would say that in my experience, the philosophical questions which are most important to - most - people are actually ethical ones. They literaly go right to the 'heart' (and lack thereof) of the human experience. But many haven't really found their "ethical self", we routinely avoid thinking too much about these things, perhaps because it's often more comfortable to think about the constitution of reality, free will, etc, and on some level they may appear to be more challenging intellectually.




People babble about ethics ceaselessly, from my observations the least ethical people especially.

:pope:



Yes I don't disagree, but babbling about something is different from philosophy, at least the way I understand the terms. :wink:

If someone piles up thousands of words tying around various logical fallacies to support their assumption I consider them to be babbling.

Ethics can be considered divine or a social adaptation, the former is a detriment to society and seems to be the majority concern (88% of the global population is religious). The latter is in my opinion a valuable logical adaptation which (if pried from the former) has the potential to make a better world for humanity.

My issue with ethics has been the regard people have for a fanciful "objective" ethical system which exists outside our minds. I am not a believer and have history under my fingers to outline why ethics centered on religion is a detriment to humanity.
