no, you're not answering any of my questions

2020-02-04 18:12:07 UTC  

you can't tell me why i should care about the survival of my species

2020-02-04 18:12:49 UTC  

not even getting into the moral gorge that that opens, because your justifications also moralizes various other things like eugenics, but i'll ignore that

2020-02-04 18:13:12 UTC  

i'll say it again, there is no objective worth to life, or anything, if there isn't a God

2020-02-04 18:13:24 UTC  

therefore i shouldn't give it any subjective value

2020-02-04 18:13:37 UTC  

the only conclusion is nihilism and proceeding from that, hedonism

2020-02-04 18:13:48 UTC  

Look, drasko, I'm not going to keep arguing this with you because you clearly have no intentions of attempting to see my viewpoint.

2020-02-04 18:14:09 UTC  

you can't explain it that's why you're trying to end it

2020-02-04 18:14:17 UTC  

tell me again, why should i care about the survival of my species?

2020-02-04 18:14:21 UTC  

there is no objective worth to anything.

2020-02-04 18:14:24 UTC  

yes

2020-02-04 18:14:29 UTC  

so how can then morality exist

2020-02-04 18:14:35 UTC  

we have to make it worth something to us.

2020-02-04 18:14:46 UTC  

because?

2020-02-04 18:16:05 UTC  

because there is no such thing as objective morality

2020-02-04 18:16:22 UTC  

okay, so you're basically admitting i'm right

2020-02-04 18:16:28 UTC  

you just want a functioning social contract

2020-02-04 18:16:33 UTC  

No morality is subjective and caused by the chemicals in our brains.

2020-02-04 18:16:39 UTC  

okay

2020-02-04 18:16:42 UTC  

so then it's not morality

2020-02-04 18:16:45 UTC  

it's a social contract

2020-02-04 18:17:00 UTC  

morality is a conviction that something is correct and good, not a tool for survival

2020-02-04 18:17:07 UTC  

if it's a tool for survival then it's a social contract

2020-02-04 18:18:00 UTC  

Morality is not a social construct. But it helped constrcut society.

2020-02-04 18:18:10 UTC  

what?

2020-02-04 18:18:14 UTC  

you just exclaimed the opposite

2020-02-04 18:18:30 UTC  

if morality is subjective, that means that it's entirely defined by human opinion

2020-02-04 18:18:34 UTC  

that's a social construct

2020-02-04 18:19:09 UTC  

That does not mean it's a social construct.

2020-02-04 18:19:15 UTC  

yes it does

2020-02-04 18:19:25 UTC  

do you know what a social construct is?

2020-02-04 18:20:43 UTC  

Definition of social construct. formal. : an idea that has been created and accepted by the people in a society @moira

2020-02-04 18:20:51 UTC  

it is a social construct

2020-02-04 18:22:17 UTC  

Please, shut up. This is going nowhere.

2020-02-04 18:22:35 UTC  

it's literally going

2020-02-04 18:22:40 UTC  

you've run into a brick wall

2020-02-04 18:22:54 UTC  

you have to admit that your perception of morality is that it's a social construct

2020-02-04 18:23:49 UTC  

No. It's just me saying that neither party is willing to accept the others reasoning.

2020-02-04 18:24:05 UTC  

i think you just haven't thought hard enough about it, friend

2020-02-04 18:24:17 UTC  

if it's really bugging you that much then sure, we can stop

2020-02-04 18:24:28 UTC  

but any neutral third party reading this will realize that this is a logical conclusion
