The rape situation sounds a bit like utilitarianism.

2019-07-16 01:31:39 UTC  

not objectively

2019-07-16 01:31:55 UTC  

Objectivity is above standards

2019-07-16 01:32:01 UTC  

Piracy is only wrong from a legal perspective.

2019-07-16 01:32:35 UTC  

Say what you will about theft, but piracy is on a whole other level, and so intertwined with government we hit a gray area.

2019-07-16 01:32:35 UTC  

Is raping a baby and then decapitating it objectively wrong? And by objective I mean, always wrong even if someone doesn't think so

2019-07-16 01:32:46 UTC  

Of course it is

2019-07-16 01:33:10 UTC  

of course it is wrong objectively

2019-07-16 01:33:25 UTC  

Hell if it weren't for pirates the U.S would have had to rely entirely on the damned Frenchmen to create a navy.

2019-07-16 01:33:34 UTC  

hm

2019-07-16 01:33:37 UTC  

what if

2019-07-16 01:33:53 UTC  

@Benuty I mean torrenting

2019-07-16 01:34:05 UTC  

objectively wrong doesn't mean literally every culture has to have moral standard

2019-07-16 01:34:08 UTC  

and like

2019-07-16 01:34:14 UTC  

there can be exceptions

2019-07-16 01:34:33 UTC  

but that thing would still be objectively wrong

2019-07-16 01:34:40 UTC  

Well torrenting is a whole other issue. At least in the west people don't really give a shit about the starving artist trope anymore.

2019-07-16 01:34:56 UTC  

If artists didn't get obscenely wealthy off their works I might find it wrong.

2019-07-16 01:35:05 UTC  

what do pirates and torrents have to do with this

2019-07-16 01:35:13 UTC  

No one is going to bed hungry over a pirated copy of Le Mis.

2019-07-16 01:35:26 UTC  

Not all cultures prohibit incest

2019-07-16 01:36:00 UTC  

incest would still be wrong and not just because its impractical

2019-07-16 01:36:08 UTC  

I did say legal, and cultural loopholes Niggler. The base concept itself is reviled, and then you have the gray area of first cousins. The Canadians can testify to this.

2019-07-16 01:36:31 UTC  

They have a higher first cousin marriage rate than Alabama.

2019-07-16 01:36:40 UTC  

What is right or wrong from biological stance?

Killing is "wrong" because it's counterproductive to reproducing and continuing the species. Incest could be considered similar because of genetic deformities. But Nothing is objectively wrong to the universe.

2019-07-16 01:37:07 UTC  
2019-07-16 01:37:42 UTC  

I get that morality is not rooted in genetics

2019-07-16 01:38:24 UTC  

But what I define as objectively wrong is something that is clearly wrong even if some people disagree

2019-07-16 01:38:35 UTC  

I know its self centered

2019-07-16 01:38:41 UTC  

but in some scenarios

2019-07-16 01:38:55 UTC  

only the vile will disagree that something is objecitvely wrong

2019-07-16 01:39:27 UTC  

@Deleted User not objectively. But to judge it would really depend on context.
Stealing from a poor beggar? Pretty wrong.
Stealing from a rich billionaire that wouldn't even notice and it wouldn't affect his health or life negatively? Not really.

2019-07-16 01:40:38 UTC  

stealing from the rich isn't as bad as stealing from a poor man, but it is still wrong

2019-07-16 01:40:42 UTC  

because its theft

2019-07-16 01:40:46 UTC  

Is murdering an entire orphanage objectively wrong?

2019-07-16 01:40:52 UTC  

and then defiling their corpses?

2019-07-16 01:40:59 UTC  

and then burning the building down

2019-07-16 01:41:18 UTC  

There is no context that could justify that

2019-07-16 01:41:23 UTC  

At the end of the day humanity has had a primal source for morality since its days fighting other animals in the plains. We had rites of purgation to exile perceived threats to our communities, common things to bring us together (such as rituals), and of course the worry of incest (which is why we used to mate with other humanoids if we were out of options). I mean its not objective morality, but still.

2019-07-16 01:41:24 UTC  

Its simply too excessive

2019-07-16 01:41:52 UTC  

Don't give me the **Oh but a divine entity said he would blow up the earth if you didn't**
