Thumbs up Re: entropy & morality

I recently read a George Carlin quote: “I don’t think there’s really such a thing as morality.” Nietzsche and Sartre would have agreed, and so would I assuming an accidental universe—in which case morality is nothing more than whatever moral systems arise from whatever social groups happen to survive and reproduce.

So for Carlin, Nietzsche, Sartre, and me (and I suppose Dawkins), there is no objective morality in an accidental universe. But for you Carey, “morality is perfectly real for humanity,” and it doesn’t matter that the universe is accidental. I completely agree with you that it doesn’t matter Carey, because, after all, nothing matters in an accidental universe.
