Louis asks:
 
If you do not accept the existence of a divine entity and thus the validity of 
a divinely ordained moral code, what is the source or origin or base or 
criteria or root for the moral code you do accept and strive to follow? 

 

Answer:
 
>From the environments to which I have been exposed.
And the codes arose from people's experiences in their environments.
 
Just simple trial and error and survival of behaviours that led to outcomes 
judged to be useful.
 
I think that is what Skinner meant and I agree with him.
 
Please, Skinnerians, correct me if I got Skinner wrong!
