Well, you don’t believe there’s any objective purpose, do you?

I do believe there is purpose to life, as I have explained in the past. The human mind is geared towards self-actualization and a desires to feel like it has a purpose in life

isn't purpose always assigned though? its hardly inherent in things

*desire

Yeah it’s not a “real” purpose, it’s a desire

hey guys

i live in one of the few remaining conservative strongholds of canada

it's gotten bad

We all define objective morality subjectively

But that’s just a purpose the chemicals in your brain have assigned to it

```i live in one of the few remaining conservative strongholds of canada

well duh, its a conservative stronghold. of course its bad 😄

prices are skyrocketing everywhere

I've figured that the best moral system is the one that is closely aligned with the truth

🇯🇲

But the problem is no two people view truth the same

@FreshWholeMilk I fail to see what that is supposed to mean.

there's a political divide in the schools between the gays and everyone else which is coming close to a boiling point

How do you determine the truth?

How can a moral system be aligned with truth at all?

>Okay, you may be driven to do something, but I don't like what you're driven by?

All normative claims are subjective

Honestly, why does it matter?

trudeau is apologising to everyone and nothing is getting done

Seems like the goals are being shifted

You just said earlier there is no purpose to life in the atheist worldview

parliament is mostly down to screaming matches between the conservatives and liberals

Now you are attacking what gives that purpose

Because it’s arbitrary

either canada's about to enter a political age akin to the 2016 election in america

It’s as arbitrary as god giving you purpose

```But the problem is no two people view truth the same```

Yeah, something that is the awkward but necessary byproduct of living in a relativistic universe. Now, I think that while there *is* one unifying truth, no two observers can realistically ever see it the same way. We only perceive echoes of the truth, and the closest we get to truth is by combining our perspectives and ideas, combined with trial and error.

You could decide your purpose in life is to eat people and rape children if you wanted to

or this is the last kick of the dead body of the canadian conservative party

People insist the bible is objective, and sure, it is, but people certainly don't interpret it the way they're supposed to, do they?
