I noticed there wasn't a TST Lemmy community. The Satanic Temple is a modern satanic religion that aims to promote human rights and compassion. Check out their about page on their official website at https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us. Note that this community is not an official affiliation. TST is also separate and not affiliated with the Church of Satan, who have a slightly different viewpoint of what satanism truly is. Dunno what to post in here, but maybe some will search for this and take part. Hello!

How about a third chime? You're both right and that's the entire point of this philosophical debate as it occurs in scholarly spaces.
Whether humans and our concepts are unique to us is simply unknown. We don't know if what we think of as morality and justice are universal beyond our species. If they aren't, then they're just social constructs that humans have used to regulate society (something that shouldn't be understated at incredibly important btw) rather than more base truths of life.
