>>4193108>Say I killed a woman and I was never punished for itConsequence does not entail just punishing you, but also everyone around the person you've hurt, as a very social species humans work with each other every day and socialize, it's fair to assume that the woman you killed might have had children later on and you killed them too, it's a long term consequence, there used to be a time where proto-human population was in the hundreds, if someone died there that would mean hundreds of lines of generations gone down the drain that we don't even think about, what if the neanderthals hadn't gone extinct? We would be completely different looking now as their bone structure is heavily different from ours.
>How would u define value?I would define it as what we create in a society, we may not see it but the singular people like you and me can influence a lot of other people in a lifetime, and other people influence others as a result, we are a collective as we work like that, without need we don't share/influence other people and we stay still, nomadic tribes followed the orders of the singulars and explored the earth and settled, creating their own cultures and their own ethnicities in the process.
>Wouldn't it be considered deterministic to have who you are as a person decided by nature itself?Unfortunately we are bound to where we are born and as who we are in our upbringing, sometimes I wonder how many people die early who could have really changed our lives, but that's just the way it is unfortunately so I have no clear idea on that
