So just like in our world there are places that allow it and places that do not. |

I've read the whole ln so not true, some of the nobles there are polygamists
| @Hazzardous2 Well I'm going off of what was explained in ep 11. |

| Innate morality is what keeps societies afloat. If you're just going to start killing or doing very bad stuff because you can, that's messed up. I'm not arguing against you, you're right, it totally depends on the culture. |

ktg said: But we know that it is wrong even in their culture, because Paul also cheated on his wife and it was considered as a bad thing. not it's not wrong in their culture (exactly?) it's only millis religion that forbidden polygamy otherwise it's okay to have multiple wives or concubines also in whole greyrat family only zenith is millis follower, so yeah for zenith it was definately a cheating by paul. but only from zenith pov |

@Zarutaku But it's bullshit, that is, in some cultures it's natural to make human sacrifices so you're telling me that it's okay to do them just because it's a different culture? There is a substantial difference between morality and madness as in this shitty anime

I wonder who is affected by madness here, because it seemingly isn't this anime. |

| I was afraid this post was gonna be about the much more reprehensible stuff going on in this series, but thankfully it’s just about the polygamy. There are problems with this subplot, but the fact that it’s supportive of polyamory isn’t one of them, which I guess is the point of the post, so I’ll agree there. |

it's because we are rational that's what makes us different from animals
| @egosumjkm But having rationality does not make humans moral beings. History is filled with humans, who had the same ability for rationality as people today, but they still were still immoral beings, some even acted like animals. Rationality alone does not lead to the origin or the concept of morality in humans. |

| @Flacion You are assuming the concept of morality did not exist before royalty and religions, but there is no evidence to support that claim. And humans don’t need morality, royalty, or religion to control other humans. |

| @ejleon You are right i didn't provide any sources as evidence for my claims, but would like to point out that neither did you in your original statement. But i will gladly now come with a more indepth look at my opinion with sources. So my claim is that our moral is a construct from our cultural development, though with this would i like to point out that some traits that is now included in modern moral is originally natural traits. Some examples for this is murder and hurting other people in your flock is wrong, since we are original a very social species. This is because it gives an adventages situation to have people support you and disadvanteges if your in a weak flock [1]. An example we can take on something being a social construct is how western societies are mostly monogamous, a proof on this not being nessecarily a natural for us that only 186 out of 1231 was truly monogamous [2]. Also the whole idea about when something is cheating is also very different, for example most people in western contries would say being married and having sex with a protitude is cheating. But if you look at Japan for example is that not the case, where most women find it okay that their husband is with a protitude [3]. We can also go back to killing someone else, which is generally seen as morally wrong, but if we look at a situation such as the crusades. Here it was seen as a duty for a christian to kill muslims and even seen as a good deed, where other sins were forgiven if you went to try and retake the holy land [4]. With all of this do i hope to have shown how much of our morality is a construct from our society, that is ever changing and therefor always affect our moral codex.

| @Flacion I was more trying to point out that morality, religion, leadership are not independent of each other, assuming one lead to another does not follow the evidence we have in history. You haven't proven that it is a social construct, you are using circular reasoning. It existed in societies, so societies must have made it up to control, but that doesn't answer the origin of such a concept in the first place, especially when history reveals that humans just did whatever was ok in their own eyes. You are assuming societies considered "murder" to be immoral, but historically that is incorrect, even today, there are societies that muder others and think that they are doing a good thing. There were societies where murder was seen as good, like for human sacrifice, or cannibalism, or to show a person's strength in battle, while there were other societies that did not allow it seeing it as bad. But that only proves that deciding what is wrong or right is completely up to each human or group, which changes over time. What I am asking is why humans would ever think "murder" is bad in the first place, when animals in the wild murder all the time, meaning why would morality develop when there is no basis for it in nature. |

| @ejleon Alright then, if we work from that, I think I can make an educated guess. So originally we were a flock of animals, which were weaker and slower then other animals. Where our traits was that we learned to use tools, we were smart, and had a fairly high endurance. Based on that we had to work together to hunt, and it would be more optimal to work together with people in good condition. This would result in you wanting to help the people around you, so they would be healthy and uninjured so they could help you. This would probably count as a basis for the morality in wanting other people to be happy. I can then imagine as we grew from hunters to farmers and a flock to a tribe. Did more complicated situation arise which would then lead to new standards and thereby new morale to evolve. How does that sound? |

| @TransferUser In japanese websites even the ln is tagged harem for mushoku. Many true harem anime exist with harem tag like Highschool dxd and isekai smartphone. True harems should obviously include harem tag. |
