What if our brain's architecture limits our ability to comprehend and consider our moral bearing?

What if many of us don't have a sufficient brain architecture?

Can
We
Judge
?

BTW, intelligence can be demonstrated without the complexity required for a sound moral position. I.e. Intelligent people can be immoral.

@jurban Are you suggesting that people cannot be judged for an impaired ability to possess a moral architecture compatible with other life similar to themselves?

We can judge them unfit. That's a judgement.

I'm not judging them based on their morals, or lack thereof, I am basing my actions and responses on my own morals.

A moral, to me, is similar to an axiom. It is why you choose some ethics and not others.

If an ethic is how you follow a mission, a moral is a reason for the mission.

@jurban I can see that a dog is rabid, and know it can't help itself, and know I can't cure it, and feel sorry for it, but still not let it bite me.

@AskTheDevil
Absolutely. Protect yourself. Abstractions don't provide protection.

@jurban When you have the opportunity to understand, always take it.

Understanding allows reconciliation, healing, even defeat of an enemy or challenge.

You will often enough have to make decisions when you lack full information or understanding.

And you can't understand anything if you let bad guys kill you and other people who like understanding things.

@jurban Let's just say it helps if you can respawn.
