>What is moral?
Subjective, ie, can be unraveled via reverse engineering a given machine, within a given context.

>What is beauty?
As above. Human perception of beauty clusters heavily, although it's a fairly wide spectrum of possibilities that depends on a number of factors.

>What kind of government should we have?
As above. After you've defined a metric for what makes something viable, you can look at how a collection of machines can be expected to work and design around that. We certainly have enough history to know what works and what doesn't, but we're too much of a broken mess to stop being made to smash our head against the wall trying the same thing over and over and being surprised when it fails in familiar ways. These ways of functioning promote very useful power structures, which is why it shakes out in the same patterns era after era.

It's all very simple stuff. Personally, I like philosophy, but positing questions like this makes me kind of understanding why uninformed people come to talk such shit about it.

>What is moral?
Whatever biological creatures evolutionary developed to be their social instincts, so their group is able to survive.
>What is beauty?
Being beautiful deeply correlates with good genes that also give you a healthy and functional body. That's why people exist that ANYONE would say are attractive. Beauty only starts being subjective when your body is looking to compensate its own personal biological deficiencies in their offspring. Then there will be specific people who can fulfill that personal need.

>What kind of government should we have?
Pure democracy. No legislative institutions. Citizens will instead directly vote for any issue and topic themselves. No representatives.

Being beautiful deeply correlates with good genes that give you a healthy and functional body. In other words beauty is the indicator for that and your subconscious is able to recognize that. You will consider those people attractive. That's why people exist that ANYONE would say are attractive.

You can't avert answering a question by claiming that they are "philosophical questions." They are problems that science can not answer, it's not like he is asking "What is the meaning of life?" He's asking a question based on the existence of the universe and itself, which is most definitely science related.

You have much too high of an expectation for the average man. People are lazy, and after a while they will get fed up with having to put every tiny little thing up to a vote. Also, it would take forever to implement even the slightest change, since absolutely everything has to be voted on, tallied, and implemented. People like the idea of voting, but they would lack the patience for absolute democracy.

"Subjective" is a description of the experience of beauty and is not beauty itself. Subjective experiences do not eliminate objectivity. If the appreciation of beauty is a subjective experience, it does not follow that there is no objective beauty.
