Morality is useful for what we use it for, which is a set of social practises that make it possible for us to live together and form societies, which is something most of us seem to like. Objective morality is a fiction, so I would question the suggestion that it is the useful type while the thing we actually do have and make daily use of is the useless one.
You can waste an entire lifetime trying to crowbar morality open and find a special truth inside that makes you right about everything and anyone who dares spite you a fool, but that's implementally irrational so I suggest stopping. And I suggest VA stops too, and also IC.
That make no difference to what I wrote. The presence of molecules wafting on the breeze may be claimed to demonstrate an objective odour (although you should probably look into Lockean secondary properties before over comitting there), but detectability of odour compounds does not make the judgment that something is smelly an objective claim.phyllo wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 7:57 pmSmelliness is defined by people smelling it.The fact that everyone agrees that Paris is smelly cannot make it and objective fact, it just makes it a commonly held subjective belief.
If people find that something smells fishy then it objectively smells fishy. It has that property but a human nose is required to detect it.
