Descartes  ·  4067 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What about morals?

Disclaimer: I am not the Renee Descartes, because he is dead. I'm just a guy who uses Descartes as his username on the Internet because I enjoyed reading his meditations in high school.

    If our goal in life is to live and evolution takes play, than me or you, depending on who is more fit, will die.

That isn't the only option though. You could perhaps wait until one of us naturally dies of starvation and then the living will eat the dead. Or one could sacrifice themselves. I believe that morality is relative and isn't always so black and white. Humans are smart and conscious and we have rational thought and the decisions we have to make are often very complicated.

    how a person is able to live life without morals

I don't think anyone lives a life without morality, it's just that we have different moral values. Some people say their morality comes from religion, others from instinct, others say rational thought, etc.
