Morals are weightless and made up homie

They're not weightless, made up stuff, opinion sure, weightless not so much hence prison and societal normatives we wouldn't imprison people for moral failings if they were weightless.

What's the total weight of morals right now, in Newtons?

A newton is a measure of force not weight. So how fast are they moving and in what direction.

Weight is a force.
What did you think it was, and what did you think it was measured in?

Also, ironic to complain about social sciences not being sciences while also failing at basic physics.

Also, you are mixing up measures and units of measurement.

This is a tautology, this is the same argument as "God is real because we live under religious law."

Like....yeah man, who would ever make up an arcane system of magic unproveable rules about what's Simply Good and Simply Bad and then use that to make laws that help them control people?

wouldn’t imprison people for moral failings if they were weightless.

We do not do this, all of Epstein's pedophile associates are still living as sadistic gods on the stolen wealth of nations.
