Well, I suppose that's why I didn't bold "nihilist" in your quote. Free of "transcendence", like me you're more of an absurdist or Spinozist, Nietzsch...
I don't know what that is. You have not proposed any moral prescriptions, so I'm not sure what you're asking. And I've previously stated my position w...
I didn't claim or imply that it did. You make it an empty phrase, Mark, by confessing you do not know what "our ultimate moral goals" are and yet prop...

Psychologism is unwarranted. There are plenty of non-depressed, even happy, nihilists pessimists cynics & fatalists. Besides, if "nothing matters", th...
How do you know this? (Of course you don't.) Sounds to me like the "happy slaves" trope of white supremacist propaganda. 'Uncle Toms' (e.g. Clarence T...

'Free will or determinism?' doesn't matter. 'Nothing matters' also doesn't matter. If we have no choice (i.e. "free will"), then we are determined (i....
:100: :up: :up: Weak dodge. Your so-called "solution" doesn't matter ? isn't worth considering – if there is not an actual problem (or its merely a ps...
What exactly are those "ultimate moral goals" and, since "moral science" is not prescriptive, what is the non-scientific basis for determining such "g...

We cannot** since only the dead are free from "all harm" or conflict; however, far more often than not, we can prevent greater harms from occuring and...
:up: To the extent our "conflicts" are not violent (e.g. win-win), they facilitate our searching for – not our ever finding "unquestionable" – truthes...
With all due respect, I didn't ask for hypothetical dilemmas; rather I asked for your experiences of kinds of harm which no one else is vulnerable to ...
Really? Name a kind of harm that you have undergone and yet, because it's not "objective" phenomenon, no one else is vulnerable to it or can recognize...
Harm, or suffering, is not merely subjective (as I've sketched previously ) whereas "happiness" is whollly subjective (e.g. hedonic set-points are not...
