I've come up with this theory. Well, it's very likely not unique at all, but here we go : So i believe that different people groups, races for example, have certain predispositions in their thoughts and obviously actions, from either genetics or culture / upbringing, largely genetics, likely both. This leads to them having different moral values, like jews seeing it as ok to genocide every other race as long as they get to be kings, and white people largely being less ethnocentric. However, here's the kicker, the groups see their moral values as objectively correct, as universal, as THE truth. The jews will never change their morality because they see it as THE truth, as THE moral good to kill or enslave everyone else and plunder them for eternity.

That's why debates with outgroups are so useless, you're trying to argue away genetic and cultural predispositions.

What do you think? is there anything to this?

The jews know that they're wrong and that they have completely lost favor.

>"Forty years before the destruction of the Temple, the scarlet cord stopped turning white showing that Yom Kippur sacrifice was not accepted by God."

From the talmud.

They acknowledged themselves that God stopped accepting sacrifices and had turned on them. But instead of learning their lesson and going towards Christ, which is something that they can do whenever they want, they doubled down...on God. It won't end well for them

because of genetic and cultural predispositions as i theorized

But individuals within these groups can still be convinced. We see this all the time with Africans seeing early White colonists as gods, or Indians admitting that their women are ugly compared to Whites.

There is objective Good, but it's totally possible that people need a certain level of brain development to see it. Further, most people will stick to what they know "instinctively" rather than admit what they rationally know is right.

which is why i said it's only predisposition and not set in stone

They can be convinced but they will never create that morality on their own or carry it forward into the future. That's why genetics and culture are interlinked.
That's why there is a Chinatown or Koreatown in every major city in the West. Look at what happened to African Americans after they were desegregated. They were Christian and moral for a few generations and now they have reverted back to their impulsive behavior.

Yes. But, the jews themselves don't think they're the good guys. They acknowledged and knew full well that God had ceased to bless them, but they still persist because they really really want to be special somehow

well then there's the argument for genes > culture
