Childish freshman at college level opinion there friend. Here’s a few things wrong with it
1) if the weak invented morality then why do men and animals feel a natural pull to be good? For example, hermits and ascetics both tend to grow more moral and kind as their solitude increases. Why does a mother instinctively love her child and not want to do him wrong? Why do animals (such as rats) have an observed morality in play?
2) why do we have morality to animals? If morality is a construction of the weak to not be exploited by the strong then why are animals also treated morally? I can’t see a reason the weak would want to include animals, and I can’t see why the strong would want to adopt animals in morality as well.
3) How did the weak impose morality on the strong? And, keep in mind that if bands of the weak teamed up and imposed them on the solitary strong, then the roles reverse and those in groups are the strong and those solitary are weak. Therefore the strong would impose it on the weak.
4) if morality is created by the weak so as not to be exploited by the strong, then why do current and archaic moralities exploit the weak? For example, Christian morality exploits the weak by creating a priestly caste for them to serve.
