Morality: A Story by the I-function/ Good: Just an Agreement

Submitted by Shayna or Shene... on Fri, 04/27/2007 - 12:12am.

I was just thinking...

I wonder if morality is just another story from the I-function. Thus to disucss the evolution of morality one has to discuss and address the evolution of the I-function--the story teller.

When did humans begin telling stories?

Another thinng: Dealing with Adaptation: Good is Just an Argeement

Maybe it is just comforting for our I-function, which like predictability, to have the moral be the same and maybe it is also comforting for the rest of our nervous system, which likes change, to have the lighting or the scenary change. Maybe something is good when it pleases both the I-function and the rest of the nervous system. More plainly--good is just an argreement.
