Well yeah it's generally pretty safe to eat now so there is no real reason not to other than following the original justification

2019-09-19 21:38:34 UTC

Plus Islam fucking violent

Kill an infidel you get rewarded In heaven. Be gay, you get thrown off a roof

2019-09-19 21:39:21 UTC

violence was pretty much their only option to get those things out of society

2019-09-19 21:39:33 UTC

well to keep them out

2019-09-19 21:39:56 UTC

Yeah well it doesnโ€™t justify their sheer, violence, nor should it be allowed in the west

2019-09-19 21:42:29 UTC

Well the moral question would be: at what point is violence justified to conserve a society and when is it not?

2019-09-19 21:45:14 UTC

People in the west will actively use violence to protect someone's rights for example, and it even used to be the opposite. Muslims will use violence to protect their rights as well even though their rights are different.

2019-09-19 21:45:15 UTC

I bet you guys don't know anything about Islam.

2019-09-19 21:45:23 UTC

Not what is written in their scripture.

2019-09-19 21:47:01 UTC

Dude Iโ€™ll be ok with Islam when there are less beating husbands and women keep their Cliterus

2019-09-19 21:48:07 UTC

Morals are subjective. Wife beating is seen as morally right if it is justified by arguably most people in the world.

2019-09-19 21:48:13 UTC

not really so in the west

2019-09-19 21:48:44 UTC

They've done experiments on this specific thing

2019-09-19 21:48:46 UTC

and surveys

2019-09-19 21:49:01 UTC

Morals aren't subjective.

2019-09-19 21:49:17 UTC

there is a good book on morals called the righteous mind by jonathan haidt

2019-09-19 21:49:20 UTC

they absolutely are

2019-09-19 21:49:22 UTC

Are you a nihilist or an anti-realist?

2019-09-19 21:49:37 UTC

Ok whatโ€™s going on here

2019-09-19 21:49:51 UTC

Oh fuck itโ€™s throttles oh god oh fuck

2019-09-19 21:50:10 UTC

I've heard the partners in crime argument is good.

2019-09-19 21:50:19 UTC

But I like the one from epismetic norms.

2019-09-19 21:51:25 UTC

The one that goes
1) If moral norms don't exist, then epismetic norms do not exist.
2) epismetic norms do exist
3) Therefore moral norms do exist
4) Therefore moral realism is true

2019-09-19 21:51:34 UTC

Like the moral responses in india vs the united states are quite different for many topics.

2019-09-19 21:52:05 UTC

Just because it's practiced differently doesn't mean morals are subjective.

2019-09-19 21:52:15 UTC

One of the questions was like is it okay to beat your wife if you tell her you will beat her if she does something.

2019-09-19 21:52:33 UTC

and like 90% of india said it's morally right

2019-09-19 21:52:34 UTC

Adhering to objective morals is more pragmatic as well.

2019-09-19 21:52:49 UTC

Yeah I don't get how that proves morals are subjective?

2019-09-19 21:52:53 UTC

I really donโ€™t care if they are objective, Islam is a cancer to civility

2019-09-19 21:52:59 UTC

Or subjective

2019-09-19 21:53:02 UTC

Morality is an abstract property, meaning it doesn't exist in space-time.

2019-09-19 21:53:53 UTC

everything is abstract and doesn't necessarily exist in space-time

2019-09-19 21:53:58 UTC

it's a pointless argument

2019-09-19 21:54:24 UTC

within the model or common paradigm in which most people view the world, morality is subjective

2019-09-19 21:55:04 UTC

No, not everything is abstract. That's false, material objects are not abstract.

2019-09-19 21:55:23 UTC

And we don't go off collective opinion.

2019-09-19 21:55:30 UTC

That's a fallacious appeal to authority.

2019-09-19 21:56:14 UTC

Things are only true if multiple people agree that they are.

2019-09-19 21:56:22 UTC

and they are only true within that partnership

2019-09-19 21:57:03 UTC

Lol what..

2019-09-19 21:57:13 UTC

That's not right man.

2019-09-19 21:57:15 UTC

most people on earth would agree that the sky appears to be blue so it's only true because they are in a collective agreement

2019-09-19 21:58:05 UTC

Half of the human population live in rural areas and do not have access to education, let's say they thought this bizarre thing that 1+3 = 2

2019-09-19 21:58:12 UTC

This does not mean it is correct.

2019-09-19 21:58:18 UTC

an alien may see in a totally different spectrum and say that no, in fact the sky is <insert color here>

2019-09-19 21:58:48 UTC

Human perception is incredibly limited

2019-09-19 21:58:55 UTC

we are incapable of knowing objective truths

2019-09-19 21:59:01 UTC

period

2019-09-19 22:00:03 UTC

No we do know absolute proofs.

2019-09-19 22:00:09 UTC

Which exist in maths.

2019-09-19 22:00:22 UTC

absolutely not

2019-09-19 22:00:27 UTC

Lol yes.

2019-09-19 22:00:30 UTC

1+1 = 2

2019-09-19 22:00:36 UTC

This is an absolute proof.

2019-09-19 22:00:40 UTC

math is entirely arbitrary

2019-09-19 22:00:49 UTC

No it's not.

2019-09-19 22:00:54 UTC

Do you know what that means?

2019-09-19 22:01:04 UTC

it's a man made system of logic

2019-09-19 22:01:35 UTC

That doesn't make it subjective.

2019-09-19 22:01:58 UTC

Laws of logic are principles.

2019-09-19 22:02:32 UTC

there are laws to the universe but their true nature is totally outside of our comprehension

2019-09-19 22:03:28 UTC

math is a model

2019-09-19 22:03:46 UTC

a man made model that we use to try and understand some of the patterns we think we observe in the universe

2019-09-19 22:05:32 UTC

So that means they're objective.

2019-09-19 22:05:43 UTC

Since they exist outside human minds.

2019-09-19 22:06:12 UTC

the laws of the universe are objective but we are incapable of having an objective understanding as humans

2019-09-19 22:06:22 UTC

math is intrinsic to the universe

2019-09-19 22:06:31 UTC

<:milady:591248801189330944>

2019-09-19 22:06:56 UTC

everything can be quantified

2019-09-19 22:07:00 UTC

nah

2019-09-19 22:07:19 UTC

If it is humans were are talking about then yes

2019-09-19 22:07:21 UTC

You know what axioms are?

2019-09-19 22:07:22 UTC

I mean no

2019-09-19 22:07:26 UTC

wait

2019-09-19 22:07:26 UTC

yes

2019-09-19 22:07:30 UTC

I am confusion

2019-09-19 22:07:38 UTC

Humanity cannot be predicted

2019-09-19 22:07:42 UTC

Can you quantity honour?

2019-09-19 22:07:43 UTC

now that's better

2019-09-19 22:07:43 UTC

I don't think you understand the meaning of objective.

2019-09-19 22:07:47 UTC

do you know what super string theory and QED QCD?

2019-09-19 22:07:59 UTC

Or according to big brains does that not exist

2019-09-19 22:08:15 UTC

@Alexstrasza Get out of here if you're not discussing.

2019-09-19 22:08:31 UTC

He said you could quantify everything

2019-09-19 22:08:40 UTC

I pointed out how thatโ€™s not true

2019-09-19 22:08:48 UTC

Everything can be quantified, just not by humans

2019-09-19 22:08:51 UTC

what cannot be quantified?

2019-09-19 22:09:09 UTC

Honour

2019-09-19 22:09:09 UTC

GG @Alexstrasza, you just advanced to level 1!

2019-09-19 22:09:26 UTC

everyting from throwing a baseball, to super navae can be translated into numbers

2019-09-19 22:09:45 UTC

Can you translate honour into numbers?

2019-09-19 22:09:49 UTC

honor is a human construct a chemical reaction

2019-09-19 22:10:08 UTC

it would be something other than numbers, numbers are just a primitive way of understanding these things

2019-09-19 22:10:35 UTC

yes numbers, constants through out the universe

2019-09-19 22:10:51 UTC

@Pelth We can quantify things though, using maths.

2019-09-19 22:10:59 UTC

Something that sortof correlates with numbers as we see them, but numbers are limited

2019-09-19 22:11:08 UTC

Human reasoning is objective, since it follows logic.

2019-09-19 22:11:09 UTC

even planets billions of light years awway are made of protons quarks and strings too

2019-09-19 22:11:16 UTC

Positive statements are objective.
