@pennypal Give me an example of an objectively moral action.

2019-10-07 23:48:05 UTC  

It should be simple, right?

2019-10-07 23:48:09 UTC  

Good question and it's one which I can't explain in a paragraph. So either we have to vc tomorrow or I can give you a book to read.

2019-10-07 23:48:15 UTC  

If morality is not objective then it's based on majority rule or authoritarian mandates... And it's changeable...
Then it's not moralitity. Morality has to be mandated from an external source

2019-10-07 23:48:38 UTC  

Yeah we’ll talk about it sometime

2019-10-07 23:48:50 UTC  

@pennypal Again, give me an example of a morally correct action that is inheritely correct

2019-10-07 23:48:51 UTC  

It's called the partners in crime argument

2019-10-07 23:48:54 UTC  

Because it’s an interesting idea to me that we have no epistemology without ethics

2019-10-07 23:48:57 UTC  

Raping toddlers is always wrong forever

2019-10-07 23:49:03 UTC  

Objective

2019-10-07 23:49:07 UTC  

And if you want in depth break down of it

2019-10-07 23:49:09 UTC  
2019-10-07 23:49:20 UTC  

No, the whole Idea of rape being bad is only because it's bad for the advancement of people.

2019-10-07 23:49:24 UTC  

Then again,

2019-10-07 23:49:31 UTC  

Rape isnt bad for everyone.

2019-10-07 23:49:40 UTC  

I didn't say it was bad for everybody

2019-10-07 23:49:47 UTC  

Why is the advanced of human beings desirable? @DjPhoenix

2019-10-07 23:49:58 UTC  

@pennypal It needs to be "for everyone" or it's not objective.

2019-10-07 23:50:06 UTC  

Noo

2019-10-07 23:50:11 UTC  

That makes no sense

2019-10-07 23:50:15 UTC  

@fuck12moredeadcops Im sure your intelligent enough to answer that question yourself.

2019-10-07 23:50:16 UTC  

@Deleted User It’s been awhile since I had a good discussion about ethics and epistemology, I look forward to a conversation with someone who isn’t smoothbrained.

2019-10-07 23:50:31 UTC  

@DjPhoenix I think arguing that it’s self-evident is conceding that you have no argument.

2019-10-07 23:50:35 UTC  

Are you free tomorrow?

2019-10-07 23:50:37 UTC  

Murdering in self-defense is very different than murdering somebody for kicks

2019-10-07 23:50:40 UTC  

Yeah probably

2019-10-07 23:50:52 UTC  

Okay. I'll ping you when I'm able to come on.

2019-10-07 23:50:53 UTC  

@fuck12moredeadcops I have an argument, but it seems so obvious I wouldn't think I'd need to give it.

2019-10-07 23:51:11 UTC  

@pennypal You can't "murder" in self defence.

2019-10-07 23:51:21 UTC  

Whatever you know what I meant

2019-10-07 23:51:30 UTC  

Murder is the killing of an innocent person, if the person is trying to kill you, they are not innocent.

2019-10-07 23:51:35 UTC  

Stop

2019-10-07 23:51:46 UTC  

We all get it

2019-10-07 23:51:48 UTC  

Ok buddy, I'll let you belive whatever you want even if it's incorrect.

2019-10-07 23:53:00 UTC  

@fuck12moredeadcops To answer your question, the advancement of society is wanted by a majority of people simply because it advanced their life as well, I.E., longer life expectancy, better food, better equipment.

2019-10-07 23:53:10 UTC  

There are many other examples but I'm sure you get it.

2019-10-07 23:53:28 UTC  

Why is the continuation of life and the progression of society more desire able than the alternative?

2019-10-07 23:53:30 UTC  

Dj... But it's not at all obvious what constitutes well being beyond simple ideas

2019-10-07 23:53:57 UTC  

And we know this because we have differences of opinion on abortion and the death penalty etc.

2019-10-07 23:54:18 UTC  

If it was obvious wed all agree
