Functionality is the progenitor of morality, otherwise morality is necessarily an arbitrary function of imagination.

... or things are inherently moral. Functionality is determined by morality.

How can functionality be determined by morality? That makes no logical sense. Stealing creates chaos because it is immoral? No...stealing is immoral because it creates chaos.

Oh and I haven't been listening to the great courses!

Stealing is immoral, inherently, so we determine what is functional, or not, based off this inherent root. Stealing is bad so it is not functional so it creates chaos. If stealing was good, it would be functional and create joy.

Is it sad that we're the only ones that comment on our blog?
