Reading slow is good for you. Just keep going, have some patience and think about the book, not what some fedoralards on /lit/ think of you.
>>
>>9419307
You could always just read at your own pace and rate of comprehension, enjoy the book for whatever reason, and then keep it as a fresh treasure within you. Who are you fooling by speed reading through books, gathering a few unique allusions to bring up in conversation, and placing it on your shelf like a trophy?

Is there any credible argument at all against the view that humans have developed morality simply because it's adaptive?

>>9418676
That's a dumb hypothesis because our moral intuition isn't beneficial for the survival of the species.
>>
Darwinism is a weak argument to bring into the question of morality because clearly humans constantly engage in activities that often diminish their chances of procreation and survival. If anything, modern society exists in direct opposition to natural selection - we take care of the weak, unhealthy, stupid, frigid, the elderly

You read almost exactly what everyone's been reading. That could be good or bad. A philosopher would know the answer and I am not a philosopher nor intelligent.
