Morals, Language and Consciousness

[luckyme]

One interesting connection those three is that now we recognize our innate grammar structure and our innate moral principles similarly ( if less fully) it's easier to grasp consciousness as 'the story we tell ourselves' or at least that perspective of it.

Wide and diverse cultural testing shows deep moral principles that are the foundation we build our personal and cultural concepts of it on. Male, female, theist, deist, atheist, old, young, chinese, navajo... the innate language and moral base is a common one.

The moral reasoning we give for our choices is often a poor shoehorn attempt ( that fails under analysis) to squeeze philosophical approaches onto the foundation, sometimes leading to the 'inconsistencies' that DS points to. Those inconsistencies don't exist if you drill down past the claimed reasons for the choices. Other inconsistencies/conflicts of a different nature, may be seen there at times.

Our conscious moral reasoning, like the biographical view of consciousness, is to some extent a moral story we tell ourselves.
