Unconditional Morality
Unconditional Morality
Unconditional morality does not take into considerations the limits of human self-control. Therefore, this goes against all intuition. Moreover, this implies to be moral, one must be kept in a moral enviornment to enable morality, as without a moral enviornment, morality isn't able to sustain. For example, there is a reason why church service isn't held at a bar or a strip club.
More specifically, we must consider what are any of the the factors that affects moral judgement. There is a reason why one is expected to have self-control in public situations, however, a kid is not expected to have the same amount of self-control an adult might have in a strip club. Also, why do you think you can't find any scientists at a strip club or a church?
This can range from environmental factors to genetic and hereditary factors. There are perfectly sane people that have been conditioned to be insane people by their enviornment (I consider genetics to be a part of the environment, this implies I don't believe the premise of the nature v nurture argument solely because nature is nurture and nurture is nature, both of them describe the environment one lives in, once you recognize the limits of your enviornment, you will recognize the limits of your own abilities) or people that are genetically pre-disposed to become psychopaths, including people that are genetically pre-disposed to become sane (moral) people. Yes, we can blame genetics for our every move. Including those who don't believe in it, are actions in and of itself that can be blamed genetics for, including behavior or religious people, etc. Therefore, all behavior is justified.
Some examples of people being controlled by their enviornment and factors that affect more judgement are of the following: air quality index, microplastics in food, weather, the colors we see (there is a reason why a library isn't pained in bright colors rather plain and rather mundane colors - it's to keep focus - simply psychology, etc.
The more we recognize how important the tiny things are in life, the more moral we can become.
All of these are examples of things that affect moral judgment, by no means does this serve as a justification or excuses for amoral or immoral behavior, but rather merely serve as reasons. In reality, there is no such thing as "excuses" - that word simply does not make sense. There is cause or no cause. If one cannot unbiasedly see that, then they are the ones that have unrealistic standards. Moreover, if one insists on using the word "excuses," I will bring up the term valid excuses or justified excuses. Sure, one does need to learn self-control in such a dire situation, however, one can learn self-control in ways that require intellectual understanding.
Collectively speaking, most human beings are able-bodied, however, this does not imply everyone is level headed or as intellectual developed as the next person. This means that everyone, regardless of the fact that they are human beings, are different. Therefore, we should all be treated differently without regards to basic humanity. Because just because we share some traits like having the same shaped eyeballs or nose, does not imply that we are human beings, rather we are creatures with similar traits. The word human beings carries some emotional weight, however, when evaluating us, as creatures, we can see that we are nothing more than pieces of grass or a light pole.
Morality is all about comprehension, most able-bodied human beings can "comprehend" morality - or whatever that means - however, when we focus on animals, not all animal species have the same comprehension ability for morality as most human beings do (do keep in mind there are exceptions to this, such as human being serial killers; see: jack the ripper)
