Oh, FFS, Arch. You used the word 'arbitrary', and now you're using the word 'species'. Are you sure you have the definition right?
Well then, what exactly is it that moral realism is all about, cito? I've been all ears for about 20 pages on that one.
No, you fucking haven't, because if you have been listening, you haven't taken it in. For a person of normal intelligence, you've got an overweening confidence about just what it is you're taking in.
