Those inversions can be demonstrated to be incoherent. If good and evil are immature, that implies that there is no reason to act one way over another. If that is true and someone really believes, the question is why aren’t they behaving randomly.

Believing incoherent notions of good and evil is bad as is the case with evangelicals.

Rationality has no motivation, this isn't a fringe position its formulated more thoroughly by philosophers like David Hume I wont keep replying but don't presume to be in the right just because you dont understand a philosophical position

@AlexanderKingsbury Basically thats what everyones axioms are. You can't get away from being a utility maximising machine. Everything you do and justify is because you want to do it, and you don't choose what you want.

@jlou Property rights are not objective any more than the right to life or any other so called rights, they are intersubjective constructed based on shared experience, it can appear close to objective but its ultimately the same thing as preferences they are just widely held preferences.
