> what if your life depended on you shooting someone
depends how much you value your life over the other persons. i would definitely shoot Hitler if it meant i had to live. it wouldnt be a tough decision. but i would not shoot Mother Teresa to save my own life.
>. what about morals and how they apply to sexuality.
dont rape people. dont molest children. etc.
> how do morals about sexuality relate to intelligence?
to think intelligently about sexuality, we need morals about sexuality.
> our true morals, which i dont really consider morals
dont call them morals then!
> true morals are nothing more than instincts
"morals" is a word to define something. "instincts" is also a word. they are similar but they dont define the same thing.
> the rules of survival and how they survive natural selection through evolution.
IMHO, instincts are a beings "rules of survival", morals are a beings "rules of behaviour". morals are made, in part, from instincts. intelligence is made, in part, from morals. consciousness is made, in part, from intelligence. etc.
my four cents :P

is it immoral to have sex before marriage? is it immoral to cheat on your wife?
"dont molest children" what do you consider a child. legally a child? there are some adults i would consider a child. 12 year olds used to get married. why are we biologically able to have children at the age of 10? I think morals, as you speak of them, have a lot more to do with religion and controlling the masses than they do with intelligence. humans are supposedly the most moral creature on earth yet we are the most destructive. other organisms can live in symbiosis with the earth while we have to dominate and destroy it. maybe AI's that have don't have dogmatic morals will be better equiped to fit in with nature.
Are you saying that humans are the only organisms with intelligence?

it is immoral to be asking me all these questions! 
> I think morals, as you speak of them, have a lot more to do with religion and > controlling the masses than they do with intelligence
i think morals, as i speak of them, have a lot less to do with religion and controlling the masses than they do with intelligence. religions contain moral codes. religions are created, in part, by human psychedelic intelligence. religions can be used to control the masses, by controlling the intelligence of the masses, by controlling the moral codes of the masses. there is nothing immoral about it.
> Are you saying that humans are the only organisms with intelligence?
if i was saying that then i would say it!
my last nickel!!
