Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed reply - and no need to apologize for the disagreement, I genuinely appreciate the engagement! I want to add that I'm not a native speaker and my words in some cases may sound rude. I'm deeply sorry. I'm trying to be polite. Thank you.
I think there may be a misunderstanding worth clarifying: I never actually claimed that morality is external. I was observing that the mainstream discourse tends to treat morality as external rules - and then pointing out that the "moral muscles" metaphor implicitly contradicts that m...
It is very interesting analogy that you use - "moral muscles". I suggest to making a look at this analogy more deeply.
on the one hand - muscles are subjective thing that is managed internally.
on the other hand - the current mainstream says that moral is external rules.

Could you suggest anything else that we can align our vision only through a dialogue (mutual reasoning)?
It is the dark side of thinking/reasoning, I think.
Hi, I'm just registered. So, can be not so aligned (it's not about agreement) with community. Give me a pardon, please :)
This long read raises many question I'm interesting in. But at beginning the first one. About predictable violence and bad laws. Let's try to make a look at violence and laws like any other human things in this world - tools. And from this point of view - the question is moved into other area. Not what is it and how it can be regulated. It is impossible to create an ideal tool. But how to get the most effective tool? And what? There is a...
Thank you for understanding.
Even here it is observable that morality appears even there where people try to hide it.
