I was referring to Aztecs in my next message

you are only against it as it applies to you. you said morality is individualistic

so you have no real basis to say that human sacrifice is bad

only your personal opinion

yay/boo

But you imply that people in those cultures knew of a moral truth and went against it

not neccesarily

they did go against it

but their moral compasses were obviously screwed up

My moral statements can apply to others? The determination of the moral statement is personal, but the moral statement can be applied to others

why?

That's called subjective morality

if it is your own morality

and presumably they also have their own

then theres is as valuable as yours

Because it's my application of values to circumstances. That's what a moral statement is

so they have just as much right to impose theirs on you as you do on them

Ok

And

and that is only wrong for you

for them, by your belief, it is good

Sure

They might

what is the practical difference

between this and moral nihilism

Nihilism says the individual cannot make that determination. That it's impossible to make a moral statement. You cannot apply values to circumstances because a 'value' is fictional

well you cant really apply values either

you can just make them up

according to you,

everyone has their own

whoever triumphs, its the same

since they can now define a morality

Isn't that the truth

they can change people's minds

let me put it this way

if someone brainwashed you into thinking killing kittens was good,

well it isnt bad to you

to your current ethics it is,

but your ethics change after the brainwashing

so in actuality, there is no bad thing happening

Makes sense to me
