As Individual People, Embedded In Our Daily

Morality Comes From A Commitment To Treat Other As We Wish To Be Treated, Which Follows From The Realization That None Of Us Is The Sole Occupant Of The Universe.

But The 20th Century Suffered "two" Ideologies That Led To Genocides. The Other One, Marxism, Had No Use For Race, Didn't Believe In Genes And Denied That Human Nature Was A Meaningful Concept. Clearly, It's Not An Emphasis On Genes Or Evolution That Is Dangerous. It's The Desire To Remake Humanity By Coercive Means (eugenics Or Social Engineering) And The Belief That Humanity Advances Through A Struggle In Which Superior Groups (race Or Classes) Triumph Over Inferior Ones.

People Have Long Assumed That Violence Is Necessary For Political Change. Rulers Never Cede Power Voluntarily, The Argument Goes, So Progressives Have No Choice But To Contemplate The Use Of Force To Bring About A Better World, Mindful Of The Trade-off Between A Small Amount Of Violence Now And Acceptance Of An Unjust Status Quo Indefinitely.

The Stirrings Of Morality Emerge Early In Childhood. Toddlers Spontaneously Offer Toys And Help To Others And Try To Comfort People They See In Distress.

Feminism As A Movement For Political And Social Equity Is Important, But Feminism As An Academic Clique Committed To Eccentric Doctrines About Human Nature Is Not. Eliminating Discrimination Against Women Is Important, But Believing That Women And Men Are Born With Indistinguishable Minds Is Not. Freedom Of Choice Is Important, But Ensuring That Women Make Up Exactly 50 Percent Of All Professions Is Not. And Eliminating Sexual Assaults Is Important, But Advancing The Theory That Rapists Are Doing Their Part In A Vast Male Conspiracy Is Not.
