You mean "co-science" truths such as... morality?
Or to take it one step at a time:
* You have proposed a moral precept.
* By attempting to apply it to people who clearly disagree with it, you imply that this moral precept is an objective truth -- that like physics and math, it applies to everyone whether they like it or not (as opposed to personal preferences or conventions such as whether to drive on the right or left-hand side of the road)
* But science itself does not deal in moral precepts. Therefore, the moral precept you propose would count as "co-science".
* So if you teach your kids any morality, then you are violating the moral precept you propose.
- ubertaco 7y agoOne step further: the moral precept proposed violates itself, if it's ever applied, by virtue of being a moral precept (and thus being a "co-science" truth claim).
