Why must the consequences be immediate and obvious?

2018-09-06 22:19:00 UTC  

An agreed upon set of ethics and decisions on what is more right won't sway me. I think there is justification for morality, but no true morality that presides above the rest.

2018-09-06 22:21:14 UTC  

‘degeneracy’ is one of the most subjective things out there

2018-09-06 22:22:19 UTC  

It's like, what is the difference between righteous anger, and indignation to you?

2018-09-06 22:24:26 UTC  

Not really. If you believe in degeneracy, it becomes pretty obvious what are degenerate acts, naturally there will be edge cases as there are in everything.

2018-09-06 22:24:28 UTC  

When does killing become murder?

2018-09-06 22:24:47 UTC  

When does indulgence become degenerate?

2018-09-06 22:25:03 UTC  

Murder is easily defined. Premeditated and unjustified killing

2018-09-06 22:26:03 UTC  

Who decides what is Just when it comes to killing?

2018-09-06 22:27:25 UTC  

Ideally it shouldn't be a "who". There should be some standard which determines what is justification

2018-09-06 22:27:42 UTC  

But that's not how the Courts work.

2018-09-06 22:28:12 UTC  

Because humans aren't capable of attaining perfect objectivity

2018-09-06 22:28:17 UTC  

Should we do away with the courts and have a paper run them instead?

2018-09-06 22:28:33 UTC  

What?

2018-09-06 22:29:41 UTC  

Who would write this Mystical document that would enforce right and wrong and not be subjected to any interpretation?

2018-09-06 22:30:06 UTC  

How would that be enforced?

2018-09-06 22:30:13 UTC  

What would enforce it?

2018-09-06 22:30:56 UTC  

This has nothing to do with the morality and justification of a thing, you are asking questions of application

2018-09-06 22:31:11 UTC  

And I never mentioned a document

2018-09-06 22:31:33 UTC  

I'm asking how is there a definite morality.

2018-09-06 22:32:07 UTC  

No you weren't

2018-09-06 22:32:18 UTC  

Yes, I was.

2018-09-06 22:32:34 UTC  

If there is an objective morality, what is it?

2018-09-06 22:32:40 UTC  

You asked about a document that would enforce the morality. Not how morality is definite

2018-09-06 22:33:01 UTC  

Holy, sweet Lord, give me strength.

2018-09-06 22:33:22 UTC  

A document would be the application of the morality

2018-09-06 22:33:52 UTC  

I asked those questions because you said it should not be a "who" that decides what is Just

2018-09-06 22:34:02 UTC  

Which implies it should be a what.

2018-09-06 22:34:18 UTC  

A paper is written by a who

2018-09-06 22:34:44 UTC  

Then, pray thee tell, do you suggest be proof of this objective morality?

2018-09-06 22:35:06 UTC  

That is a philosophical question

2018-09-06 22:35:33 UTC  

No, it is a question that directly relates to your *opinion* that there is an objective morality.

2018-09-06 22:35:44 UTC  

That there is one morality that presides all others.

2018-09-06 22:35:49 UTC  

And takes precedence.

2018-09-06 22:36:04 UTC  

I'm asking what it is, and how is it free from interpretation?

2018-09-06 22:36:15 UTC  

We should be able to logically deduce the objective morality, which is a question of philosophy.

2018-09-06 22:37:21 UTC  

Unfortunately, humans are not perfectly logical creatures. We cannot achieve perfect objectivity in our moral systems.

2018-09-06 22:37:40 UTC  

Morality is not logical as there is no system to validate what is moral, and immoral.

2018-09-06 22:38:22 UTC  

I already provided two: natural rights and evolutionary psychology

2018-09-06 22:38:51 UTC  

So, morality is a human concept, and as such you have argued against yourself in saying that humanity can never reach an objective morality, meaning it does not exist.

2018-09-06 22:39:11 UTC  

When did I say that?
