I mean this is the Internet

2019-07-05 07:25:49 UTC  

Idk how I was supposed to know but that's cool

2019-07-05 07:26:26 UTC  

I was asking him

2019-07-05 07:28:40 UTC  

All Gucci gang

2019-07-05 08:09:14 UTC  

Problems still to be solved:

>Showing that humans are inherently evil, to be shown that you can get a normative claim (moral - good & bad) from an empirical claim. So as to make a general method of agreement for every belief system.

2019-07-05 08:11:16 UTC  

WellI could give you a semi example

2019-07-05 08:12:17 UTC  

If you put a bunch of people in the bush, first they are going to be killing each other, then slowly they will learn that grouping up is more efficient for survival, beginning a foundation for morality

2019-07-05 08:12:51 UTC  

Devine morality, there is an actual right way to do things, that is genuinely more benificial

2019-07-05 08:13:13 UTC  

Divine morality is a different topic altogether.

2019-07-05 08:13:40 UTC  

The question is simple, show objective moral duties exist through empirical claims.

2019-07-05 08:14:04 UTC  

What impirical claims are you implying?

2019-07-05 08:14:07 UTC  

Divine Morality concerns itself with DCT, that's different.

2019-07-05 08:14:20 UTC  

Scientific claims, to prove that we should be moral.

2019-07-05 08:14:36 UTC  

That morality is an inherent part of the world, as was claimed.

2019-07-05 08:15:22 UTC  

Would you say it's an emperical truth that our survival is a good thing

2019-07-05 08:15:28 UTC  

Yes

2019-07-05 08:15:35 UTC  

No, wait.

2019-07-05 08:15:41 UTC  

So would morality be based around whats best for our survival?

2019-07-05 08:15:44 UTC  

You're presupposing.

2019-07-05 08:16:05 UTC  

survival is a good thing, is already a normative claim.

2019-07-05 08:16:18 UTC  

This is a cicular arguement

2019-07-05 08:16:24 UTC  

Survival is beneficial to the advancement of the species is an emierical claim.

2019-07-05 08:17:01 UTC  

But you would say survival by itself is a human desire?

2019-07-05 08:17:47 UTC  

Sure, if there is an empirical basis for it, which we will assume.

2019-07-05 08:18:45 UTC  

So you are asking me for an empirical proof that survival is good

2019-07-05 08:19:12 UTC  

I'm asking you to derive from the empirical claim that survival is beneficial, that survival is "good"

2019-07-05 08:19:15 UTC  

Well I cannot give you that at the moment, but I would like to ask you to help me look for it

2019-07-05 08:19:26 UTC  

No, we'll assume it is.

2019-07-05 08:19:29 UTC  

No

2019-07-05 08:19:32 UTC  

No assumptions

2019-07-05 08:19:36 UTC  

Help me look for it

2019-07-05 08:20:05 UTC  

The whole point of selection pressure is to further the chances of survival of a species.

2019-07-05 08:20:31 UTC  

Agreed

2019-07-05 08:20:48 UTC  

But I dont see that as imperical proof for survival to be a good thing

2019-07-05 08:20:50 UTC  

We may infer from this that the natural desire of human beings is to further their offsprings.

2019-07-05 08:21:13 UTC  

No, first the empirical claim, that it is beneficial, then you can try to derive Morality from it.

2019-07-05 08:21:49 UTC  

But hold on

2019-07-05 08:21:54 UTC  

You said it's a claim

2019-07-05 08:21:58 UTC  

Is it actually a proven claim

2019-07-05 08:22:12 UTC  

Yes, same energy because it is "empirical"

2019-07-05 08:22:31 UTC  

Scientific claims are scientifically proven.
