But people continue to do bad things and good things by their own free will… Pragmaticality? Next silly answer.
It is pragmatic to do so because you don't want the other person to do the same to you. It is bizarre to suggest that being honest is not pragmatic.
For example, murders committed in anger are not pragmatic, and are definitely wrong. Please, try harder.
No. It is bizarre to suggest pragmaticality is the reason for morality. Where did ‘this’ come from? How does it even answer the question pragmatically?
