Just like some of 'you' still believe that the Universe began, and/or is expanding, although there is not one solitary piece of 'proof' for this. The evidence supports the view that the universe is expanding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_of_the_universe It is unreasonable to ask for proo...

If there are facts [even if there are no facts], opinions, beliefs and judgment of them do translate into real actions. So yes, to repeat: the important question is: are there moral facts - moral features of reality - so that moral assertions have factual truth-value, regardless of opinion, individ...

Oh, I see. And we may be talking at cross purposes. My point is, if there are facts of any kind, then opinions about them are irrelevant. Iow, we can and do have our own opinions, but we can't have our own facts. For example, is physics 'subjective' in the way you say morality is? If there are fact...

Even if there were moral facts, there would still be subjective moral opinions, so these things aren't mutually exclusive. As I say, I think we all know about subjective morality, so it would be more interesting -I think- to explore how there could even be such things as objective moral truths. Oh,...

There is One Universe, only. How can you be so sure? Once again, for you, because of the definition of the 'Universe' word. Which, by the way, is infinite and eternal, and did not begin and is not expanding. Everybody else considers the idea that the physical universe is "infinite and eternal&...

I do not have to. your so-called 'arguments' refute themselves, in regards to the theory that there exists a 'multiverse' made up of universes. The multiverse hypothesis is not particularly new. In fact, there are also quite a few theories in physics that also subscribe to the idea: Once more, they...

What you do not seem to be comprehending and understanding here "godelian" is that, by definition, the One and only Universe can never ever be within a multiverse. Why do you not comprehend and understand this irrefutable Fact? You do not even try to refute my arguments. I do not have to....

Now, for those some that, still, LOL 'know' that the Universe expands and/or that that expansion is accelerating what actual 'proof' do you have for this 'knowing'? Redshift, among others, being a physical fact. you must have misread or misunderstood my actual question here. I asked for 'actual pro...

It doesn't teach me anything, it guides my conduct. For example, it prohibits my going onto internet forums and lying about stuff. 😇 It doesn't, actually. You have a subjective twinge. When it goes away, you won't have it. What part of that deserves the honourific "moral"? It's just twing...

Let's suppose it can. Or let's suppose I'm impossible, but you are a moral agent. What can Subjectivism teach you about morality? It doesn't teach me anything, it guides my conduct. For example, it prohibits my going onto internet forums and lying about stuff. 😇 It doesn't, actually. Once again thi...

Moral subjectivism is, in my view, no less embodied existentially in dasein. If you're going to talk more 💩, we're not going to get anywhere. :lol: you are being an absolute imbecile here "immanuel can". Even in "dubious" sentence "dubious" stated, 'in my view'. So, th...

:lol: Far from it. But I repeat the question: what can Moral Subjectivism teach us about morality? Can you name even one thing? I don't know that it can teach you anything. Let's suppose it can. Or let's suppose I'm impossible, but you are a moral agent. What can Subjectivism teach you about morali...

It has you in a bit of a flap, by the look of it. 🙂 :lol: Far from it. But I repeat the question: what can Moral Subjectivism teach us about morality? Can you name even one thing? I don't know that it can teach you anything. What do you expect it to teach you? :? What can whatever morality you thin...

Part of the lack of agreement between us is in my experience "morals" are HOW folks make behavioral decisions and you are promoting the idea that "morals" should determine WHAT folks choose to do behaviourally. I'm not even demanding so much...although it's true, of course. I'm ...

Here's the point: what can Moral Subjectivism, even if we took it to be entirely true, teach anybody? Unless, of course, this is the point: what can Moral Objectivism teach anybody? We're supposing (contrary to truth, of course, but for the sake of the argument) that Moral Objectivism isn't true. S...
