Oh, good.
Originally posted by Common De-mominator Just that moral obligations exist. My specific claim is that moral obligations are a necessary consequence of logical consistency in addition to your nature as an agent in the world.
Since when are agents logically consistent? -

I barely eat pork (although those al pastor tacos really fucked me up with their delivciousness). I do eat a ton of chicken though. Why? Because chickens seem stupid. That is all.

If somebody told me I had a moral obligation to act in a certain way I would tell them to fuck off... At this point where people's abstract bullshit meets reality what is to be done? When being wrong has no real consequences of what significance is it to be moral or not? -

Then you're just being immoral. I.e. beyond "I want to and you can't stop me" you have no justification to offer and you couldn't supply any defence to someone who has you in the same position.
