📓 moral judgement

conscious as post-hoc rationalizer experiment that showed puzzle delay experiments w/ split brain ability to train 'reactions' into brain (ex. vid games, piano)

IMO, 'intuition' asa used in philosph =/= as in ccolloqial more 'trained pattern matches' 'thinking fast' (vs thinking slow)

the paper judgement comes before reasoning

rationalist approach: reasoning leads to judgement

intuitionist: 'moral truths' that we see social: we 'reason' in attempt to explain/convince others

1) two processes, intuition and rationalization

2) reasoning is motivated align with friends align with self-view

3) reasoning is post-hoc, but we experience it as objective

4) moral action covaries more with moral emotion than reasoning reasoning -> action requires high self-regulation and high 'iq'

as we grow, develop ability to 'role-take' initially, just self; then other; then group

moral judgements: evaluataions (good v bad) of actions or character of a person wrt virtues held by a subculture to be obligatory

intuition: quick, holistic, automatic, effortless, subconscious reasonin slow, multiple steps, takes effort, conscious

my thoughts post read:

'moral truths' that we see =/= subconsciously learned norms that we reflex pattern match

this model explains why it's hard to 'change someone's mind about moral judgements' using facts

law: jury - 'decide' on truth judge - applies rules politicians - make rules ==> (moral judgements)

government tend to see a lot of 'old moral based laws' repealed tension between: indiviudal needs/freedoms vs. collectivism

group resource allocation necessitates "morality" ?

lately, mostly driven by financials / "economy"  

maybe: moral judgements as evolutionary 'shortcuts' for social rules to take hold by hijacking emotions (vs rationality)

bueraocracy of law forces slow, thus more rational process vs. "fast / reactionary"

can try to train yourself to 'check yourself' and override

why make moral judgements at all? can we have subcultures that try to avoid it (ie moral judgements are bad)
