Jim Macdonald has left a new comment on your post "Why buffalo and why not the CUT deal? Against uti...":
Perhaps, you missed the point.
Do buffalo act for something they codify into a moral law called the "greatest good" that they expect all other buffalo and creatures to act upon?
Or, do they simply act based on the interests they have?
That's the difference. It's not a point of research; it's a point of understanding the logical fallacy involved in human moral systems, utilitarianism among the chief culprits.

About Me
- Jim Macdonald
- Hi, my name is Jim Macdonald, and I have an odd assortment of interests. In no particular order, I love Yellowstone, I am an anti-authoritarian activist and organizer, and I have a background in philosophy, having taught at the college level. My blog has a lot more links to my writing and my other Web sites. In Jim's Eclectic World, I try to give a holistic view of my many interests. Often, all three passions show themselves interweaving in the very same blog. Anyhow, I think it's a little different. But, that's me. I'm not so much out there, but taken together, I'm a little unusual.
