I’m not offering a syllogism. I’m using something like Tarski’s T schema. “Electrons objectively, mind independently, are negatively charged particles...
Asking why it’s wrong to harm people is like asking why electrons are negatively charged. There is no answer; some things are simply fundamental, brut...
I'm simply questioning the assertion that if one cannot derive an ought from an is then any claim of obligation is false. Perhaps "you ought not harm ...
Why are electrons negatively charged? I don't think there's a meaningful answer to the question. Some things are simply fundamental, brute facts about...
I'm not stating the former proposition; I'm stating the latter. One actually, absolutely, really, categorically, objectively, super duper, ought not h...
Yeah, sorry, got mixed up with another discussion. I meant Bob Ross. That's fine, but there can be a big difference between the various ways that such...
I don't understand the distinction between something I ought to do and something I actually ought to do. But fine, using your language: A moral realis...
The realist will claim that that one ought not murder is a fact about reality, much like that an electron is a negatively charged particle is a fact a...
Let's keep it simple. Electrons are negatively charged particles. How do I verify (or falsify) this? One ought not murder. How do I verify (or falsify...
What would it mean for a fact to be moral? Do these two propositions mean different things? 1. one morally ought not harm another 2. one non-morally o...
There are, broadly speaking, two types of derivation. The first is to derive from a single premise: a) Premise: This is a red car Conclusion: Therefor...
Moral realists reject 1 and/or 2. To prove moral realism wrong you must prove 1 and 2 true. You haven't done so, only asserted them. Although it would...
Yes, there is a fundamental disagreement. My take is that truth is a "property" of expressions, i.e. speech, writing, thought, etc. As such, as you sa...
Your use of the term "moral realism" seems equivalent to what most philosophers mean by moral cognitivism, and your use of the term "moral antirealism...
A moral realist might claim that the statement "one ought not harm another" is made true by the mind-independent fact that one ought not harm another ...
Not in the Platonic sense. Numbers don't exist. Rather, when we say that there are infinitely many numbers we are just saying that we can (in principl...
Statements are true, states of affairs obtain. A statement is true if it describes a state of affairs that obtains, and false if it describes a state ...
I dispute this. There may be infinitely many facts, but it does not follow that there are infinitely many true statements. Some facts just aren’t talk...
Let’s take a simple example: one ought not harm another. Broadly speaking there are three different approaches. 1. The moral nihilist will argue that ...
Question the implicit assertion that if something isn't a tangible object found in the universe and can't be measured scientifically then it doesn't e...
Hah, Jack Smith even quoted this in a recent court filing. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.40232/gov.uscourts.cadc.40232.120...
There's not really much substance there. What actual domestic things did Blair do wrong? Were they so wrong that they outweighed the good things he di...
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premiership_of_Tony_Blair If Starmer can do something similar then great. But either way I expect him and Labour to...
Putting that into https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/ /uploads/resized/files/sq/23mhieot4r979c5y.png Crazy that Lib Dems' 9% gets them 29 seats and R...
He literally is. Exactly. He’s saying that because he is being indicted then if he wins the election then he will indict his opponents if he sees that...
"A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles ... found in the Constitution." He's li...
No it's not. He wasn't just explaining that. He was also saying that he will weaponize it in the future. And whereas he is being indicted because ther...
Not if you use code-splitting. On the initial page load it just pulls down something like "index.js" and then runs the code in that. When you click th...
I think you misunderstand what an SPA is. Think of a website as a book. In traditional MPAs (multi-page apps), you ask the website to give you a page....
As someone who sucks at styling, Tailwind is a godsend. Perfect for component based frontends like React. I can see it being a pain in the ass if you ...
That strikes me as an overestimate. I've built business CRMs used by a FTSE 100 company in a few months. Although I guess if you were just doing it in...
I used to think that. I always thought that HTML should just be done in HTML, not JavaScript. But then I actually tried React and Vue and quite like i...
