In the physical statements section I stated that humans already know what they seek. When you say "I want an apple" you know exactly what you mean by apple and changing the definition of apple will never change your action. This is because your motivation was not toward the word but toward the object. This is not always the case though. Imagine a pregnant woman who plans to get an abortion. Now imagine that somehow she gets convinced that the definition of "human" includes fetuses. This very well may change her action. Guilt, blame, respect, and other social emotions can vary much based on societal expectations and definitions. Even so, "wrongness" (or any claim) in a non-physical usage will never stifle anybody; only believed wrongness. |
