If you read the history of Columbus meeting the Arawaks on Hispaniola in his own words and the subsequent annihilation via genocide of the natives, it's hard to accept that the culture of Columbus is better.

Isn't survival, at a minimum, an instrumental value that has to support the objective values of a culture?

[AnimalMuppet]

Value at surviving, yes. Value at making war, maybe. Value at behaving morally? Not so much.

(And yes, I am aware of how fuzzy the term "morally" is here...)
