TRUMP AHEAD?
Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Coming from the one who tries to argue, from its very own, very obviously very 'subjective' views, that it is a so-called "objectivist" you seem to have missed the true irony here.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 7:12 pmIronic. That's exactly why I don't bother with you...you're just never rational, it seems.
Oh, and by the way, you have yet to show just one, supposed, irrational thing that I have ever said or written here.
And, obviously claiming that I am 'never' rational speaks for just how 'irrational' that claim really is.
Also, you do not so-call 'bother' with me, because of the very fact that I point out and show where your claims are False and/or Wrong, and because if you even began to answer the clarifying questions I ask you, then you would only end up contradicting "your" own 'self', and/or end up just highlighting your own Falsehoods and/or inconsistencies here.
In other words, you do not 'bother' with me because you do not have the ability to here without you making "yourself" look more like a fool.

This is your only 'argument' here.

Ironic. That's exactly why I don't bother with you...you're just never rational, it seems.
The only, real, come back you have had here is; The bible is literally true', and, ' We will all personally find out after we each 'die' '.
you could not come across as being more living proof of just how fooled and deceived some adult human beings had become through 'theological instructions'.

Was my response to you not worthy of a comment from you?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 5:53 pmI'm not agreeing to any statements others try to script for me. I can make my own claims, thanks.commonsense wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 5:46 pm
Not especially bad, but especially qualified in that respect. You’ll agree that his supporters believe he is especially good, not bad.
But you have alleged that the danger is an "amoral narcissist," in context, alleging that of Trump. But given the proliferation of such in Washington, what's your particular justification for that concern?

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
Look back to my earlier post where I provided a list of reasons why I think Trump is amoral and/or narcissistic. I cannot find a comment from you following the list I provided.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 6:23 pmYour entire question in reply to my post was included above.

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
That's because if that's just a subjective list, then it's inconsequential. However, if it's objectively true that voting for Trump is bad, and you can produce evidence that I should believe that makes it morally bad, then you're not a Moral Subjectivist at all...you're just a selective Objectivist.commonsense wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 9:00 pmLook back to my earlier post where I provided a list of reasons why I think Trump is amoral and/or narcissistic.

So which way do you want to play it: that you're a Subjectivist, so your list doesn't tell us anything, or that the list is telling, and you're an Objectivist?

And that's pretty much what I think you should expect.
But you forget what idiotic things he did manage achieve when he was not sacking his best staff.
Arbitrary bans on people coming from countries. half a mile of wall.
Deliberate separation of children from their parents seeking asylum.
Food and gas more expensive; He crashed the economy.
The worst international repuatation of all time; lower even that Bush.
I am astonished at the level of your ignorance.

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?
That may change. And if it does, Trump will become the moral choice, because subjectively, that's what you'll believe. Even if not, a feeling of "ick" isn't a moral feeling. It's just an ick. You can get over it.Harbal wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 11:29 pmI can't speak for anyone else, but my moral sensibilities tell me that there's something not right about having a lying scumbag running a country.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 11:16 pmI'm not "forgetting" anything.

Meanwhile, by the light of Moral Subjectivism, he remains a perfectly moral option for everybody else, apparently, since your subjectivity implies no obligation on them at all. They don't have to agree. And they're just as "moral" as you, if they don't.
So once again, Moral Subjectivism fails: it tells us nothing about D. Trump, or anybody else.

You forget. Facts are objective...values are subjective. So you say. And Moral Subjectivism?
