How come there aren't any moral geniuses? - eviltoast

When kids do linear algebra or they rise to the level of GM in chess within the first two decades of their lives, such people are obviously geniuses. Their intelligence is undeniable.

But it’s like moral/spiritual geniuses aren’t recognized in the same way, if at all. How come their intuitive expertise isn’t recognized so easily ?

    Morals are ultimately subjective so it’s very easy to dismiss a complex moral argument by simply reject the premise.

    Imagine chess … but everyone get’s to modify the rules as they please. If chess was like that, there probably wouldn’t be any GM in it either.
