Platt: No. Academe not only embraces moral relativity and multiculturalism, but
celebrates it with a passion. To the professorship, no culture can do anything wrong, nor do we have any right to judge other cultures (America excepted). That's what our kids are being taught.The MOQ tells quite a different story. "Cultures can be graded and judged morally according to their contribution to the evolution of life." (Lila, 24) To academe, that's blasphemy. Ron: No doubt, social morals are necessary but those morals should be tempered with an intellectual understanding of their biological necessity. THIS is what Academia fails to do adequately and via the traditional SOM fallacy young subjectivists see this as an excuse to go buck wild and experience those biological necessities that social morals provide, on their own, which is what we in the older generation call "the school of hard knocks" so now when they have a baby and STD's and no education to get a job as they live in their parents basement with a drug addiction they begin to see the wisdom of abstinence and education as it relates to everyday survival. those stupid social morals now have intellectual meaning for them. This is what the mistake of the Hippie movement was, jumping from objectivism to subjectivism. not intellectual understanding.
