Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

You are right; who needs tradition? This is twice that you have absolutely completely misread and misunderstood what I have said and written here. Harbal could have misread and misunderstood Age absolutely, or he could have done so completely, but no, he had to do it absolutely completely . We are ...

No one claims something like that.. it would be a rather new hypothesis.

Re: How wokeness is torpedoing the solidarity with Ukraine

There are movements toward stopping nuclear proliferation such as the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty CTBT . Diplomacy would be a big booster shot toward the world solving its problems in non-militaristic ways. Russia is one of those barbaric countries that doesn't care about diplomacy, it's ...

Re: How wokeness is torpedoing the solidarity with Ukraine

Because the US cannot stop Russia from taking Ukraine if Russia becomes desperate. Did you see the video I linked to? According to Chomsky, Russia would probably destroy Ukraine if the gloves come off. So far it's been a conservative war by Russia, they aren't unleashing everything they have on Ukr...

Re: How wokeness is torpedoing the solidarity with Ukraine

OK. Wouldn't negotiating a less radical peaceful settlement be better/more realistic? Okay, then answer the question that IC ran away from. Explain to the Ukrainians why they should give up on the occupied parts of their country? Because the US cannot stop Russia from taking Ukraine if Russia becom...

Re: How wokeness is torpedoing the solidarity with Ukraine

The political elite in the US horribly mishandled the Ukraine situation. They were warned by our own intelligence community that moving toward NATO membership to Ukraine would force Putin's hand. But they pushed for it anyway. So now what do we all do? Here's a relevant interview with Chomsky Give ...

Re: Theism and Moral Realism are separate concepts

The dilemma isn't false, though: if there is good, then what is good is either good because it is good or because it is defined to be so by God. There aren't any other options in a theistic framework (again, given that there is such a thing as a moral fact or truth). Ah okay, didn't know we are res...

Re: How wokeness is torpedoing the solidarity with Ukraine

I may have overestimated your intellectual abilities. Sorry about that. Carry on as you are. Wonder what people like you have to gain from aiding Russia. Are you compensated in some way or do you do it for free? Like I said: if that's your question, then I've overestimated your abilities. Sorry abo...

Re: How wokeness is torpedoing the solidarity with Ukraine

"Let's say Russia returns to its old borders, and Ukraine agrees not to join NATO." Those were my words. What part of that is too hard for you to understand? All of it? Let's try again Mr. Head-in-the-sand, Explain to the Ukrainians why they should give up on the occupied parts of their c...

Re: How wokeness is torpedoing the solidarity with Ukraine

That is the main issue: who's doing it. :roll: You'll have to do that. It's nothing close to anything I proposed. Go back and read, if you forgot what the first proposal was. Or make your own case for them to give up parts of their country, since you seem to think that's what's involved: I certainl...
