>What kind of unhinged philosophy are you smoking? Objectivism? Marxism? Freebasing Solipsism?
I'm only somewhat subscribe to one of those philosophies and none of them are treated very charitably by you. Besides that, as much as I disagree with the statement you're replying to, it's not a philosophy, it's an empirical statement. Whether people take whatever they can get away with is irrelevant to whether they should do so.
By the way, none of those philosophies assume GP's argument.
>There is absolutely a solid sense of morality baked into (at the very least) primate brains.
Moral anti-realists will tell you this isn't a very convincing argument. The fact that people believe in morality does not mean we have access to the world of moral facts. Moral facts are supposed to motivate us inherently, which is a perculiar quality for a fact to have.
