Rom: In medical school were you told when we can perceive things as having colour?

> Just because we can perceive morality it does not mean it exists outside of a whole bunch complicated brain chemistry. A similar argument exists for colour.-You use very confusing comparisons. Colors are learned by name when we are children, but each of us see them slightly differently, because all brains are not the same in their functionality. Morality is a concept, and has nothing to do with brain chemistry although the thoughts about morality are in part created by brain chemistry controlled at my will. I think most of us understand what morality is as a concept, although not all of us will ascribe to the same definition of morality. We have to use a biological computer, and it has some very complex biochemistry to aid in its function, but at my 'self' level I'm very satisfied with it and I think it serves me just fine under my control. I assume your view is different.
