So, too, with more complicated conventions.
I have had success in getting students to agree that the Holocaust was immoral, that female genital mutilation is immoral, that slavery in other cultures is immoral. Some students express the concern that for changing their beliefs in these ways, they will be judged racist and immoral by their contemporaries. But that is a risk that all moral realists must face.Yes, in the same way that the use of evolutionary stable strategies confers evolutionary advantage on adopters, the non-use leads to outsiders and Othering.
