Talos right here
They say only the sith deal in absolutes
^
but I believe that some subset of things can be proven absolutely
Particularly, certain forms of mathematical question.
true
Moral relativism in a society invariably leads to the rise of a new form of moral absolutism that challenges the predating ideology that allowed for the moral relativism to persist in the first place. I believe that is what we are seeing now with the rise of intersectionalism.
indeed
ascetic moral realism!
Thus relativism should only persist to affirm the standing moral absolute, too rigid of a moral absolutism leads to it becoming anachronistic and failing entirely instead of adapting to the society.
I think my nihilism score went up because I said life has no inherent meaning except for your goals you set yourself
What if your goals are the inherent meaning of life?
yeah, I think the nihilism content is misunderstood by the calculator
gonna see if I can get a pull request merged for that
It is, but it is a reframed perspective.
I can change my meaning of life
Just a perspective question
Morals exist
On a biological level
well sorta
Absolute morals
But not that rigid
asterisk asterisk asterisk
But you're not changing the underlying meaning of you pursuing what you believe to be true, it is just that you gain a new understanding on what that exactly is.
Well yes
moral truth is revealed in its consequences
morality only works in retrospect
And meaning
for everything else, you need moral philosophy
The purpose of life is the function of the human person. Which is typically condensed as "the practice of being a rational, social animal".
Or, said another way, "the practice and cultivation of virtue."
Dichotomy didn't give me a philosophical leaning suggestion
maybe I should be a philosopher
seem to be breaking new ground.
