Thank you for your gracious reply! I sort of figured This was your intention here. I have thought over and over that this would be great for getting folks to THINK here where I am right now, that your course would be great to share! Loved it.

Todd, i really appreciate this! Yet, i would still ask where is the beginning of the presuppositions? In the end it would appear that "I" am the only reason to be ethical and moral. It is so isolating of every individual. I find the topic fascinating and am still searching for the source of present "USAian" morals and ethics. Who in the US decides? In the end, in the US it would appear the Supreme Court decides, and then the Right is only because it is a Law backed up by Force, civil or military

Great questions. I created this framework to simplify the ethics and make it consumable. Your points are very insightful and are completely accurate. Ultimately, I believe, most individuals are on the self-focused portion of the spectrum. This framework thus hopefully encourages individuals to think of others because it's good for them. Haha. Funny. Great points, though. Great points!
