Interesting talk on non-duality, free will, and morality

I especially like how he dismantles the argument for morality as a virtue, "well I might as well just go around murdering people then!" :lol:

He's enjoyable to listen to. Virtue, then, may be in that realization of non-duality, from which, it is said, moral acts arise spontaneously. It is a mystery, yet on the other hand, easy to understand in that freedom flows naturally as giving, sharing of itself, therefore, kindness, virtue.

I don't know that moral teachings should be rejected so in the learning process, as in from freedom arises good will, so practicing good will may lead to insights toward freedom. Thou shalt not kill or steal speaks to selflessness.

Oh no I agree, it certainly has it's place, I just think a lot of negatives can come along with it, like when two culture's moral codes don't match, many problems arise.
