uh huh
I can believe in the moral system I was raised into and acknowledge that others won't. My personal unresponsiveness to moral situations doesn't change that it's possible to have other systems
you cant condemn the actions of another society internally
how
This is the argument you keep making
Norman
well the morality is "subjective"
Yes
so by your standards they did nothing wrong
You realize moral relativism doesn’t mean people agree with morals existing right
Not personally
not personally
It's possible that they didn't even think so
People don't always DO moral things
if you lived in russia at the time, would you say what was done was wrong?
Like norman are you the type of person to tell a nihilist to kill themselves because they think life has no meaning
yes
Lol
gtg for 2 minute
This convo pretty interesting
Then you clearly dont understand philosophy
Imma take philosophy in college
If you think that every philosophical question must be enacted physically
literally stupid
Like nihilists agree with the position that life has no inherent meaning does that mean they need to kill themselves cause they find evidence to suggest its the truth? No. Thats rëtarded
This is impossible to know as I can only impart the morality I have. Speculative morality of a hypothetical person in a narrow hypothetical set of circumstances is worthless
clearly they agree with the idea without having it to come in conflict with their material lives
Not only are those questions impossible to answer, answering them wouldn't benefit us in any way
this is dodging the question
i am point out how in a subjective world view, you can't universally condemn such acts
Correct
That's the point
You can't
additionally, if the society's culture you lived in changed so that people thought it was okay to say, kill Ukrainians, you again cant condemn it, except saying "it is currently not acceptable in our society to do such a thing!"
And if you say you can, it's incumbent upon you to prove that
okay then
so if a political party in america said we should indoctrinate the youth into hating tibetans and wanting to genocide them, what basis would you have to oppose that action?
You're saying "if society changed its moral stance, then morals would be different"
Yes. You're starting to become a subjectivist
no
I would because I am morally opposed to genocide
