Steve said to Platt:
...Harris thinks we ought to define morality as concerns for the well-being of
conscious creatures capable of experiencing happiness and suffering. The basis
of morality is then conscious experience.
dmb says:
I'd like to point out that this is very different from some of the traditional
religious moralities where suffering in this world was viewed as a way to store
up treasure in the next life. To this day, there are forms of Christianity that
effectively hate the world, hate the flesh and generally look forward to the
time when this life is over. Harris defines morality very differently than
these otherworldly religions. Go, Sam. Go!
