Sam Harris : Science can answer moral questions


Sam Harris at TED 2010  (transcript)
Scientist can answer moral questions
Summary
I was very surprised that the word "Science" was used to answer moral questions. No one think about that, however, what if the words “general public, many people and justice of modern” are included, it’d be understandable. The speaker seems to show those by the words "your values" and "your religion". It’s because morals mean righteousness, conforming to accepted standards and having integrity. It’s not reducible to a concern about conscious experience and its possible changes. You must know that science changes many things that we think that it’s right but we think that many people say right is right also.

Now, many people have their smartphones more than the year when the spreader told this story thus it often occurred, right? We know that common sense, normal intelligence, and moral are just what many people do. Thus a sense of value and religion is changing and it's different from person to person. We always want to decide what to be right, though, we have to know that there is something that can't persuade the others. It’s because it’s not science.

The title is not that science can answer that moral is right but by many people doing, something becomes right, common sense, and moral is not right.
With this in mind, we have to think about moral progress with richness for our well- being.

Words in this story
integrity /noun/ the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.
