We decide that
No
Morality isnt independent of humans
@Sentient23 My question is what I should I say to those who do not necessarily use pornography, but who make a living off of it
I disagree. I'm a catholic, catholicism makes obvious assertions that moral absolutism is correct. I don't think that just because our perspectives on what's right and what's wrong wary, somehow means its subjective
@Sentient23 lol congrats you read james rachels
@Ater Votum If we agree that pornography is immoral, then promoting it is i would say even more immoral, since its making people indulge into more immoral things
I don't know who that is
He used the exact example u gave about the earth
Yes because its the most obvious example
But that's not a good example
Why?
Because that's a fact
It's not debatable
Morality is
No
Yes
You're missing the point of the example
let me explain
It's not the same statement
I understand that just because two people disagree doesnt mean that there is no truth
But I'm saying that your example is shit
thats part of the argument
let me explain
and ur explanation is garbage lol
How
"You cant derive that there is no objective truth from the mere fact that there is disagreement"
But also funny coincidence how everyhing that I believe in is objective
The point of the example is if your criteria for what's an objective fact, is that it must be believed by all humans, since if the perspectives on the issue wary, it means its subjective, then the earth being round is not a fact, since flat earthers do exist.
So
1. If the criteria by which you decide what's objective is that the perspectives on the issue MUST NOT WARY, then if the perspectives on something wary, it means its not objective
2. The perspectives on the earth being round do wary
3. Therefore, if we were to adopt this criteria, the logical consequence (absurdity) WOULD BE saying that the earth being round is subjective
That's what I said
And I dont disagree with that
I'm explaining why the example is perfect
I'm just saying that it's not a good example
Yes well your explanation as to why its not a good example is wrong lol
As just demonstrated
its a perfect example
It doesnt defend your position on morality at all
Because it's not about morality
It's not even debatable
It does because it demonstrates that if the criteria by which you judge whats objective, is whether perspectives warying is absent, then the earth being round is not a fact
