The more we understand ourselves at the level of the brain, the more we will see that there are right and wrong answers to questions of human values.
In my experience, mistaking no answers in practice for no answers in principle is a great source of moral confusion.
Indeed, I will argue that morality should be considered an undeveloped branch of science.
Multiculturalism, moral relativism, political correctness, tolerance even of intolerance—these are the familiar consequences of separating facts and values on the left.
"Morality could be a lot like chess: there are surely principles that generally apply, but they might admit of important exceptions."
