We're still waiting. And if we stick around, we'll still just be waiting and waiting and waiting... It has become clear that your psychological mechan...
I have done so already. You want me to highlight it for you? Okay, but don't take the piss. My patience is limited. That's big problem number one. Tha...
Any arguable problem with what I present as a possible resolution involving interpretation is vastly overshadowed by your problem which results from a...
I am not trying to interpret the statements in accordance with moral objectivism, even under the assumption that that's what most people mean. I am tr...
Allow me to explain the problem. What do you think conflicting statements are? I think that you think of the following, for example: "Abortion is mora...
Both of the positions you describe are equally simplistic, and my position seems like the obvious synthesis: a) Morality is relative to the individual...
It doesn't matter to me that your personal vision is shared by others or is influenced to some extent by the community in the context of what I'm gett...
And...? You're not really saying anything ethically relevant until you add, "And this is good!", and that would be a subjective moral judgement from a...
Straw man alert! I said nothing whatsoever about surviving without the community. Try again. I said "strong-minded individual", not "isolated hermit" ...
It's obviously your personal vision. It's a vision, and it's coming from you personally. I don't even think that this discussion is about that sort of...
Yes, I accept that that's your own personal romantic vision of an ideal end towards which morality should be directed. But that's all it is, and you c...
Community schcommunity. My flourishing is more important to me than the flourishing of the herd. I am a strong-minded individual, not a sheep. Herd-mo...
And I never said that individuals can be totally separate from communities in which they participate. That's the kind of straw man that I've actively ...
You say that morality is relative to the community. I say, no, it isn't. A morality is relative to the community, and that morality is called herd-mor...
The great irony in what you say there is that it is itself nothing other than an expression of your own individual judgement on what morality should b...
No, it's not basically a tie. That's just how you want to spin it. There isn't a winning side and a losing side in a tie, so it can't be a tie, "basic...
Yes, I browsed over your link. It was simplistic, I'll grant you that much. For instance, it starts with an obvious and irrelevant fact which you get ...
When, if ever, do either of you intend to attempt to support any of that? After 100 pages? 200? 500? Do you understand that there's a big difference b...
If 1,269,501 people turned up at your house, would you think that significant? Yes, you most certainly would. That's over a million people. That's how...
No. Again, you can't just assert without argument that a disputed claim is true. And trying to shift your burden on to me or change the subject is fal...
Nope, that's still not even a valid argument. It's not as though you've had 57 pages to produce one or anything... And once again, you succeed in demo...
But none of that addresses the topic. The topic is about morality itself, making this discussion a meta-ethical discussion. What you said is consisten...
No, obviously I don't agree. That's basically asserting without argument that moral relativism is not about right or wrong, and then asking a moral re...
Wait, how did we end up on this tangent? Why must every discussion be steered in this direction? What's the relevance to morality? Shouldn't a discuss...
Because psychology is about far more than intelligence. One can be far from a moron, yet driven to behave in a certain way due to some psychological m...
Yes, I think so. I wouldn't call that thought or belief, and I also don't agree with the part about perceiving a computer as a computer, because I wou...
That's a mixture of fact and poorly considered opinion. Opinion which is not just ignorant, but condemnable. I don't know what your true purpose with ...
Something? It doesn't prove what you seem to want it to. You're not being a scientist, and this is a matter for science. If you're genuinely intereste...
So then why didn't you say that to begin with? Why say that you've never heard of it, and then climb down to it being really rare? Who cares? Stop try...
Really now? You've never heard of mothers abandoning their duty towards their own children, unless we're talking about crackheads, opiate addicts, and...
Alright, fine, but apologising is a sign of weakness, so this will have to do. Unless you want some ecstasy. I still have some left. But you'll have t...
