[00:00:00]Natural ethics sometimes is treated like it's consequentialism, like don't have sex, kids, cuz you can get STDs. Like, that is not natural law ethics at all, actually. Um >> [laughter] >> natural law ethics have to do with things like don't scrape your eyeballs, kids, cuz that'll hinder their ability to see. Uh that [laughter] would be natural law ethics. Or even interesting things like don't eat that weird um food that has been engineered in such a way that it has no caloric impact because essentially what you're doing is you're trying to harness the pleasure of eating, which is a byproduct, while undercutting nutrition, right, which is the primary end for which you have a digestive system.
