Is a uniform ethical and moral behavioural system possible?

Postby Bananiot » Mon Jan 19, 2009 10:21 pm

Forget about the Turks, Greeks, Americans etc. The human race is facing extinction. If we are are to survive, the real knowledge uncovered in the sciences must be used as a basis for a uniform human ethical and moral behavioral system, thereby freeing the human for full attention to species survival.

What do you think?

There are 6 Billion of us unnecessary creatures. If we had a 100-fold reduction, it won't be such a bad thing.

Now, if the bee became extinct ... all life on Earth would die out very quickly.

Bees good ... Man bad!

That's news to me... you'd think that the annual global population increase would mean the opposite!

I think you're not making much sense here so I'll just answer your thread title...

The answer is no because the main characteristic of survival is selfishness and there’s nothing moral or ethical about that.

Even contemplating to adopt a uniform code of ethics for the sake of humanity is selfish in its own right because you assume that humanity MUST survive, but in reality why should it survive?

Why is no one buzzing about my bee revelation?

Einstein said that if the honeybee became extinct, then so would mankind.

Oh well ... :roll:

Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.

Isn't it true that bees are becoming extinct in some parts of the world?

It is said that the bee population in the UK will have disappeared by 2020 if the rate they are going doesn't change.......We have GM foods waiting on he sidelines though.....They might even be the cause of the bees problems for all we know???
