By that do you mean you present a theory about why people behave the way they do (whether or not they know it)? Or do you mean you can logically deduce the way people should behave?

Again, by that do you mean a description of what is observed or a normative proscription for behavior? Because I don’t see how the latter is possible without assuming meaning or purpose, which you would seemingly describe as “superstition”.

No, I guess you could do that, but I meant: Do you want to live in a situation where anyone is allowed to kidnap and torture anyone? It's not really in your interest, is it?
