There is No Such Thing as 'Right' or 'Wrong.'

Based on the definitions your provided, regarding 'moral', 'immoral', 'right and wrong' I will carry on my argument. I find the argument to be rather interesting. Humans have tackled this subject since the dawn of Philosophy. Socrates first posed question about Ethics, and what is the right thing to do. The notion of morals and values is very subjective and it may vary from one person to the other, could even vary among societies and generations. That being said, I would like to pin point my arguments that I will be introducing during the third and fourth round. 1. Morality and freedom? 2. Morality and Instinct. 3. How would humanity thrive without the notion of ethics? 4. How my actions affect the society? What is moral and immoral? I would firstly like to criticize your example regarding the brain being similar to a computer, which upon so you stated that the human-self lacks free will. And as far as I understood you were poking around the idea of our very existence, because we cannot prove that we really ‘exist’. With all do respect, this is absurd. I do exist, everyone breathing and rationalizing on this world does exist, and as Rene Descartes quotes ‘I think, therefore I am’. I believe that entertaining the idea of inexistence is unrealistic. There is enough evidence to prove my existence, along with the existence of morality. I am free, I have the free will to debate this or to simply walk away, I have the free will watch the outcomes of my actions and choices. Simply dismissing the thought of free will means that you have lack the ability to reason, and you are just programmed to follow certain beliefs. That being said I will build my argument upon such facts, and I challenge you to prove that humans are not free if you want to over throw this theory. I find your example to be quite unfitting. Now as we return back to the main topic. What is moral and immoral? Based on the definition you provided us with, moral are actions that are good in their nature. Moral actions do not have to provide a positive impact in order to be perceived as good. And of course vice versa. But what is ‘good or bad’? In my understanding, good and bad is a universal-term regarding the impacts of actions/words on humanity itself. Of course these terms are introduced through religious views, philosophy and reasoning. Yet we will dismiss all the other factors and rely on our own logic. Consider a man, this man exists. One day the man gets ambushed by another man, and is unfortunately murdered. The man did not commit any wrong to his murderer what so ever. Yet he lost his life, he lost free will, he lost the chance to see his life through. The murderer practically deprived him of everything. The question here is not whether this is moral or immoral, the question here is what ‘right’ does the murderer have to take his life along with his freedom? Rights have to be earned, just like a lion has the right of eating his prey, because he earned through effort. We are very much alike the same case, we do earn a lot of our own personal rights through existence and rationalizing. Abusing these sanction of rights would be considered unfair and thus not moral. You can simply measure with a man that chooses to get on a plane without pay no ticket, he did not earn his right on that plane, and thus his doing is wrong confined by our policies and laws. So, confined by the laws of nature this man has no right in murdering his victim. You do not see animals hunting down their own species, and if they do get into a quarrel they are most following their instinct. They will be either hording on someone else’s prey or protecting their own/territory. Yet they are animals with lower class of intelligence, we on the other hand humans we are the smartest species living on this planet, and it is this code. The moral code that separates us from becoming savages. Yes, we did create morality through reason and it very much exists. Just like a painter who has a vision of an artistic idea, he then chooses into bringing it to life through effort and mental construction. Morality is that painting and we are the painters of our own reason. More will be covered in the next round.
