Thread: Can Morality Evolve Without Spirituality?

Too bad moderan isn't around to post one of his dead horse pictures.

Elric Randall - The brain/computer analogy is about as good as most analogies, which means you shouldn't look at them too closely.

I think the pony is starting to give off an offensive odour. You know, just sayin'...

The brain/computer analogy is about as good as most analogies, which means you shouldn't look at them too closely.

I don't agree with this. For a start, a brain doesn't need someone independent to operate it as a computer ultimately does.

Well, I think most of the analogies you see around here are pretty useless -- this one's a good example. There really isn't anything analogous to the human brain and I don't see any value in forcing some comparison if it doesn't clarify anything. And usually, the argument shifts off-topic and becomes about whether or not the analogy is a valid one. Case in point.
