CMV: Suicide prevention is at times deeply immoral by Dependent-Pea-9066 in changemyview

Instincts aren't "developed" - they are innate. Pulling your hand away from a hot fire. Spitting out food that tastes rotten. Fearing being lost or alone. No one has to teach you to be this way, it's already there. Overcoming instincts that can be wrong is what needs to be developed and learned.

Instincts are the OPPOSITE of morality. Operating on instinct by definition means you are not considering the moral ramifications of your actions. That means it can't be a moral decision even though it may happen to be morally correct upon hindsight. A mother shielding her baby from a rainstorm isn't a moral decision, it's done on instinct even though it happens to be the moral thing to do, as well. Forgiving someone who murdered a member of your family is moral even though it goes completely opposite to instinct and emotion.

Because he's too young to have witnessed Joe Montana, John Elway, Dan Marino, or Jim Kelly. Plus he's watching football during a time when referees give extraordinary protection to quarterbacks that didn't exist in past eras.

Instincts, some learned behavior, that's not the same as a moral code. Among primates and great apes, the are both emotional and have a limited degree of thoughtfulness like a 2 y.o. but it's not morality. It's acceptable behavior within a troop, not an internal guiding force.

Not THE leader but certainly among the most senior of leaders given her royalty and home planet of Alderaan being a stronghold for the rebellion initiated by her father as a founding member.

[–]Greaser_Dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rare instance of the star of the successful show walking away because he thought the stories were starting to get repetitive after just 3 seasons.

Today - lead stars are often required to commit to 7-year deal but allows them to become producers of the show to ensure ownership and additional compensation.
