- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoI wonder if somewhere out there in space some weird looking alien just typed "Earth is one of the best arguments against moral relativism".
- projektir 8y agoI sure hope so.
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoMe too. Though now I'm wondering if such a civilization existed if it wouldn't be part of their moral imperative to educate other cultures about their morality, or if being sufficiently moral assumes that other entities need the ability to explore morality on their own.
- rectang 8y agoOnly normative moral relativism. Just because the universe is indifferent to Saudi Arabia doesn't mean we have to be.
- blattimwind 8y agoThat's not moral relativism, that's epistemic anthropocentrism (i.e. good and bad and all value judgements in general are made by humans exclusively using human terms of meaning and human perceptions).
- krapp 8y agoIs it? They consider their actions morally justified, we don't. Seems like moral relativism to me.
