What I did

I did alot of readin of philosophical literature, I collected data from several sources including the museum of natural history, analytics pages etc. I then performed observation experiments on animals that are pets of friends in addition using these results to furhter my theory about morality. I took all of this existing data and synthesized it into what I believe is a theory that answers many prominent questions about morality, consciousness and moral realism.

What I learned

I learned alot more about morality in general, how and why moral realism is an important concept; how this facilitates real life discussions or reform, value judgments etc. Additionally, I discovered how complex many subject matters we discuss in layman's terms actually are, many of these tpoics;while verisimilitudonous, are far more complex. This will help me in terms of my critical thinking capabilities and additionally my skills in gathering, analyzing and synthesizing data, as well as potentially the job market for philosophers.
