Psychology and morality
Rabbi, doesn’t my moral decision that I see as something binding actually stem only from the environment and psychological data that influenced me? If not, what does the moral decision actually stem from?

If it stems from the environment, then it is not my decision but the product of external influences. If this is the case, then there is no meaning to ethical or non-ethical conduct and no meaning to judging people and their actions. From this perspective, people are sheep. Of course, none of this means that it is not true, but you need to know that this is the meaning. As far as I understand, values are formed on the basis of observation (not sensory). I understand that this is appropriate and decide to be committed to these values. See column 546 on moral realism. Hence, there is meaning to her conduct and judgment. See also column 120.
