Rethinking the Ethical System Based Solely on Consent

The current ethical system based solely on consent is considered bankrupt, as it fails to account for moral impulses beyond consent, such as sacredness and degradation of symbols. This insight is drawn from a secular ethicist, Jonathan Hight, who argues that there are more moral impulses in humanity than just consent, and highlights examples like the feeling of wrongness in consuming a pet or desecrating a sacred symbol.
