Re: Incest Deterrence & Morality is Objectivity
Actually, the notion that incest avoidance results from the biological risks of inbreeding is dubious. First of all, the risks of inbreeding are relatively slight, especially in primitive cultures in which the infant mortality rate is 50% any way. More important, a common marriage rule in many simp...

Re: Adv of Moral Objectivity over Others
Here is an example [re incest], why Moral Objectivity has the advantage over other moral views. I once knew a mill owner whose children has born an incestuous child together. Their wood mill was some 10 miles from the nearest small town and his family had very few opportunities to meet members of t...

Re: How to be a Moral Realist
Why the diversion? I have already given 'proof' to establish morality is objective as qualified to the moral element, the "oughtnot_ness to torture and kill babies for pleasure'. I have also stated the above can potentially be confirmed by science [not now, but in the near future]. Re Infantic...

Re: Decadence and "Liberal Rot"

Re: How to be a Moral Realist
Yes??? tortured and killed for pleasure?? show me the links to the evidence. Even if there is, normal human sense will indicate that is due to a perversion. Take a look at "infanticide" and "sacrifice". You area joke. Every thing you do not agree with is deranged; people who dis...

Re: How to be a Moral Realist
From your study of history, anthropology and cultural studies, have you come across any groups of human or individual[s] who readily would act or accept that babies can be tortured and killed for pleasure? Yes. And is that the ONLY basis of your moral objectivism? :D :D :D :D Yes??? tortured and ki...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
Mathematics investigates abstract, Platonic worlds. The fact that you are not aware of that, simply shows that you are ignorant of what mathematics is.

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
It's academic masturbation, and a desperate attempt to squeeze stuff we cannot understand into a theory that cannot be verified. In this sense it is religious. Nonstandard models of arithmetic are provable. They are as provable as 1+1=2, and from exactly the same theoretical context: So much ignora...

Re: How to be a Moral Realist
My apprehension of morality has always been from the perspective of history, anthropology and cultural studies.
