Morality is just applied aesthetics. Things which appear to the mind as beautiful are assigned to be moral. A man can never in the earnest proclaim "this truly disgusts me yet it's right". Just to be clear, by aesthetics I mean the inner perception of "ideal reality", not superficial beauty - a nuclear explosion may appear grand, but almost nobody envisions the world full of nuclear blasts. Aesthetics, in turn, is a conscious projection of subconscious faculties for pattern recognition, utilization, and many other underlying bioelectric processes which cannot be understood by a rational brain as more than their generalized shadows.
There you go, objective morality exists without any retarded God, it's just that we can never know it because it's a product of incomprehensible bottom processes. You're welcome.

I showed that morality arises from natural processes within the brain, and only appears subjective to the limited capacity of rational thinker.

I can't believe you wrote all that and then concluded that objective morality exists and not that it doesn't. You're the smartest retard on this board.

So in practical application objective morality doesn't exist

Morality is subjective, but it is based on aesthetic preference. 7/10, OP.
I think it'd be interesting to research historical moral views of homosexuality with this mindset.

That means that aesthetics have material foundations, and those are subject to deviations and changes. If those subconscious faculties are different in two different humans, their moralities will also be different. So, it still isn't an objective morality, and it's also highly irrational.

I still theorise that certain ideologies like Fascism would not gain anywhere near as much support as they do if they lacked aesthetics. That's all Fascism is--Just people circlejerking a particular aesthetic.

How did you conclude that? You gave an epistemological explanation for moral intuition. You certainly have not established morality as an objective fact.

So objective morality exists, but only God can know it then.

>> No.12797891

If this theory were true it does not mean that objective morality exists it simply means we associate goodness with things we like essentially. How is that at all objective? Morality is really just relative self-interest
