It's a question I want to know to know the answer too

yeah I was just trying to get across the fact cultures seem to have different moral beliefs doesn't say anything about the truth values of those beliefs

It's true cultures do have different beliefs, but that doesn't mean there doesn't exist a list in heaven of morally right and wrong actions

just like there's a list of prime numbers

Or red chairs

The most logical of course would be the "laws of logic" like allowing murder without punishment wouldn't help a country grow but have it collapse under itself

Well if you follow the "laws of logic" usually you derive some axioms you deem necessary

For a ultitarian is the concept of utility

For Kant it was the categorical imperative

Kant in particular would probably interest you because he thought you could derive morality purely logically

So a moral logical being would be more moral

Sure

An interesting practical case for this; if kantianism is true and we developed an General AI smarter than us we need not worry because it would be much more intelligent than us

and therefore much more moral

Well that's a different story in my book on that

But it is an interesting thing to think about

false equivalency between intelligence and morality

^

it does not follow

Thats the idea of kantianism; that it does follow

hey guys

Hello

Ok so I'm kind of the fence the shape of the earth and I wondered if any Flat Earthers could give me their arguments

@NinjaApple sight distances.

Such as lighthouses.

If earth was a 24900 mile ball, lighthouses wouldn't work.

Its that simple

Would the curve of the earth really be visible from a lighthouse @Citizen Z ?

Thats not what im saying

Oh

Im saying.

If earth curved...lighthouses wouldn't be seen from as far away as they are seen due to curvature blocking the light

Fair enough

The bulge in the middle would block the light

At a certain distance

Depending on lighthouse elevation, observers elevation and the distance between them

Ah

I believe the reasoning is because light from a lighthouse spreads and part of the spread travels upwards.People can see the light from a lighthouse even with the actual spotlight being obscured.

What I read, anyway.

I'll do the maths on this tomorrow and I'll come back to you with it.

I did this up real quick.

From that distance would the light be so dispersed you couldn't really see it? Idk

No, not at all

I mean, *some* probably.
