Look at this shit. Reddit was completely unable to answer my question with anything other than sophistry and appeals to social conventions.
These people fucking go on and on about how the study of philosophy requires massive amounts of "critical thinking" but when you question their assumptions suddenly they go crazy and claim, "Well we shouldn't bother questioning that!"

The arbitrary creation of a concept by a person sitting in a room thinking about something is not analogous to the creation of the concept of morality. Morality didn't come from nowhere, it has a real history. Bad analogy. All creation is not equal
OP btfo by a redditor. SAD!
It's worth investigating because we have strong intuitions about what concept1 says we should do in certain situations, so it's useful to try to formalize those intuitions together into some coherent generalization so that we know what the concept1 recommendation is for more ambiguous situations, where we intuitively want to follow concept1 but don't as easily intuit the right course of action. It's precisely because we want to develop coherent theories of action that follow certain of our concept1 intuitions that generalizations are interesting.

Typical philosophy phan. He appeals to popular thinking instead of acknowledging the infinite possible viewpoints. He sticks his head in the sand if you claim there are infinitely many possible views and that Philosophy as practised by academia has not exhausted all possibilities.
