Re: Moral Relativists Should Tolerate Moral Realism

So, I think that ultimately morality is subjective. Saying that considering science makes morality frameworkedly objective creates just ambiguity and confusion. Lets do a thought experiment shall we? In so far as you are doing the exact same sort of mental activity (categorising; putting things in ...

Re: VA has a reading deficit

You have no basis for asserting that I am motivationally indifferent to moral judgments. Do you have a basis for asserting that he has no basis? All of the possible evidence is that I am not indifferent to such things at all. All the possible evidence demonstrates that indifference would be far sig...

Re: What could make morality objective?

Your "credibility" metric is noting but say-so. The contents of the FSK are a list of nothings but say-so. You don't tether science to reality of any sort, you just grant it powers of group hallucination. πŸ‘† This comment, and most of the things you ever say, amounts to nothing but say-so. ...

Re: Moral Relativists Should Tolerate Moral Realism

1 The main claim of descriptive moral relativism is obviously true. No it isn't. On descriptive moral objectivism moral relativism is false and effectively amounts to lying. 2 To reject moral objectivism - the claim that there are moral facts - is not to accept meta-ethical or normative moral relat...

Re: What could make morality objective?

I don't misunderstand your argument. It's just fallacious. Your FSRC theory provides no basis for assessing the credibility, reliability or objectivity of a practice and discourse that produces knowledge - and so for comparing discourses - because your first premise is that all knowledge is within ...

That is where the analogy breaks down. The neutral element for addition (⨁) emptyfluid is not the absorbing element for multiplication (⨂). It is again a neutral element, while it should absorb.

Re: My objections to the claim of God's perfection

Omniscient, omnipotent and all powerful gods (or any other entities) have problems with their internal logic, I agree. How could you possibly make this claim? You don't know what their internal logic is. If you knew you'd be a more omniscient/omnipotent god yourself. Ha ha, nice one. I didn't origi...

Re: Is Conservatism just NeoTraditionalism these days?

Statistical variance is the same thing as freedom. No, actually, it isn't at all. We don't even know if statistics have a relationship to human behaviour. You're mistaking a numerical generalization for an explanation of the volitional freedom of individuals. Statistics only tell us about averages,...
