there are two types moral claims

2018-11-01 04:32:23 UTC  

value claims

2018-11-01 04:32:30 UTC  

and prescriptive claims

2018-11-01 04:32:56 UTC  

According to what?

2018-11-01 04:33:05 UTC  

you are making a prescriptive claim not a value claim when you say there are no moral claims

2018-11-01 04:33:23 UTC  

methinks someone is pulling things out his ass.

2018-11-01 04:33:50 UTC  

I take it there still hasn't been any mention of what this transcendent morality constitutes either

2018-11-01 04:34:23 UTC  

At this point weve been repeating our arguments to each other ad nauseum, so ill concede for fun
We have proven the claim "There are no moral claims" is a moral claim. Great! Now no other moral claims can exist. Thanks for cleaing that up

2018-11-01 04:34:29 UTC  

prescriptive morals claims appeal to some norm or standard and tell us what the world ought to be like

2018-11-01 04:34:40 UTC  

How convenient. How lovely to be able to incessantly claim the existence of something one never has to define or substantiate.

2018-11-01 04:34:49 UTC  

> appeal to some norm or standard
sounds pretty subjective to me

OwO

2018-11-01 04:36:46 UTC  

Im not sure what the disconnect is

2018-11-01 04:37:13 UTC  

I think the disconnect is,... BOOMER.

2018-11-01 04:37:42 UTC  

Simple, doesn't get simpler. If you claim objective morality exists, that it is transcendent, simply describe what that transcendent morality is and where it comes from.

2018-11-01 04:37:44 UTC  

We'll connect when you make a non-contradictory statement

2018-11-01 04:38:19 UTC  

I am saying the statement itself is contrary to itself

2018-11-01 04:38:50 UTC  

That describes perfectly well everything youve said

2018-11-01 04:38:59 UTC  

So you believe that something exists but to be asked what it is is a contradiction in itself. Yeah. Wow. Holy. Shit.

2018-11-01 04:39:01 UTC  

@Puma lol i stole that from here

2018-11-01 04:39:07 UTC  

Oh

2018-11-01 04:39:41 UTC  

where the other person stole it from lmao

2018-11-01 04:39:53 UTC  

I am making the claim that we either live in a amoral universe or a moral one
and an objectively moral one is more likely

2018-11-01 04:40:16 UTC  

And what is a moral universe? What does that mean? What is objective morality?

2018-11-01 04:40:27 UTC  

Define. It.

2018-11-01 04:40:41 UTC  

you have already made it clear you do not understand what any of those things are

2018-11-01 04:40:49 UTC  

Define it then.

2018-11-01 04:41:12 UTC  

Elucidate me, illuminate for me the mysteries and your wisdom.

2018-11-01 04:41:13 UTC  

and an ontological (definition based) argument is not valid because it is based on language alone

2018-11-01 04:41:34 UTC  

^

2018-11-01 04:41:38 UTC  

That moral claims can be true, or false

2018-11-01 04:41:54 UTC  

how do you define something if not using a definition

2018-11-01 04:42:36 UTC  

If an argument to prove the existence of something is based on manipulating english language definitions, its not based on reality itself

2018-11-01 04:42:40 UTC  

Right, and what is the standard for knowing if a moral value is true or false? How is that determined?

2018-11-01 04:44:01 UTC  

Can things not be known Apriori?

2018-11-01 04:44:09 UTC  

> "There are no moral claims" is a moral claim
is an example of a bullshit ontological argument that doesnt really prove anything but that you can make little english paradoxes if you interpret things just right

2018-11-01 04:44:16 UTC  

Stop dodging and being dishonest.
