So you are right that what is morally good [to be defined precisely] should not be related to what is preferred subjectively, loved and liked by anyone. My view is what is morality is for every and each individual to recognize, understand, realize the nature of their inherent morality, then develop...

Ventas Acquitas: "What I am stating is the emergence of the existence of reality [creation of] is inevitably entangled with the human conditions. As such, humans are co-creators of the reality they are part and parcel of. If anyone claimed otherwise, one cannot prove there is an existing independen...

I had opened the following threads; Humans are the Co-Creator of Reality They are In [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISdBAf-ysI0 AL-Khalili Humans are the Co-Creator of Reality They are In [2] https://forum.philosophynow.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=32476 Your brain hallucinates your conscious reali...

I wonder why it is so difficult for anyone to understand how opinions and beliefs are converted into knowledge via specific institutions or framework and system of knowledge [FSK]. That's not difficult to understand. What's difficult to understand is why you'd think that knowledge isn't belief. It ...

I wonder why it is so difficult for anyone to understand how opinions and beliefs are converted into knowledge via specific institutions or framework and system of knowledge [FSK]. Here is a discussion on the issue; I have already explained that a "1000" times. Here is another example, Supposed you...

The standard bearer of the highest credibility at present is the scientific framework and system [FSK]. I have claimed and argued for, my moral FSK has similar [not exactly] to the scientific FSK. People try that trick all the time, have you learned anything from their mistakes? Marx argued his ana...

It's a fact that water is H2O. Objectively speaking, water is H2O. It's true that water is H2O. Those are assertions with a demonstrable truth-value. They claim something about reality that is or isn't the case. And because it demonstrably is the case, these factual assertions are true. Now do the ...

The expression 'a true objective fact' is a complete mess. Could there be a false fact, or a subjective fact? It's because what we call truth, facts and objectivity are what we say they are - that our saying an assertion is true doesn't mean it must be true - or even that it's factual at all. On my...

When you write stuff like that you come across in the vein of someone like Rush Limbaugh or Alex Jones. (Or at best, like, say, Ayn Rand writing about Kant.) He is a big fan of Dinesh D'Souza, so a bit of the old Rush Limbaugh is sort of to be expected. I wasn't familiar with D'Souza, but I just lo...

Here is VA's claim: '...everything that was, is and will be the case in the universe CANNOT exist independently of the human conditions.' VA thinks this justifies the claim that morality is objective - that there are moral facts. Perhaps this is the argument: All facts - all features of reality - d...

It is a legal truth within a legal FSK, J oseph James DeAngelo [aka Golden State Killer] was convicted of 12 homicides, 45 rapes, and 120 home invasions in the 1970s and ’80s in California.. Each case of conviction itself is a legal-FSK truth within the specific legal FSK. Investigators had collect...

So step by step. (1) You'd say that the evidence either (a) doesn't exist independently of our minds, or (b) at least can't be known or observed as something independent of our minds, correct? I did not state the above as unqualified. As qualified, I stated [as in another post to you]; 1. Common an...

I believe if you are familiar with the Philosophy of Science you would be familiar with the concept that Science is conditioned upon a specific framework and system. I am familiar with the philosophy of science and I can tell you that very few philosophers or scientists think there is a specific fr...

So what exactly is an FSK? Is each bit of knowledge part of one or many of these FSK things? Please explain properly how they work. It's just a narrative/model/paradigm/philosophy. People take their favourite axioms, stitch them together and pretend they've solved a problem they've made up. As a mo...

The overpopulation thing was just an attempt on your part to choose which objections people are allowed to have to your arguments, and nobody cares what your secret answer to it is, you can quit flogging that dead horse if you like. The point is you think what my objection was about but you missed ...
