"Is an anchor different from a presupposition? Presuppositions are necessary to build any logical system. Changing your presuppositions ideally occurs when you encounter reason or evidence that contradicts them. If you present reason or evidence to challenge my presupposition of the greater or lesser utility of alternative moral systems in contributing the the competitiveness of a given society, and of the dynamic of societies in competition, and if you offer an alternative model for social development and interaction that explains the data more completely then I'll change my mind. So far I've only seen you challenging my definitions, and that is easy to do, "What do you mean by X" you can do that with everything and never arrive at a better model of reality. It is easy to challenge presuppositions (theories) but hard to build them. So build an alternative theory that addresses the historical data to which I refer and I'll consider that."
