You're quite right. Arguably, an attempt at formulating an objective morality has been made: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivism . However, it is anathema on HN.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 5y agoObjectivism has little to do with objectivity, despite sharing the first nine letters. They are two entirely different concepts. Whether objectivism is preferred on HN is another unrelated question.
- stablenode 5y agoObjectivism has a lot to do with objectivity. I'm sorry if this is news for you. How reality is perceived and how objective knowledge is attained are at the core of this doctrine -- without these one cannot even talk about rational pursuit of self-interest. I wasn't even asking a question about HN, just making a remark.
- kazinator 5y agoI.e. objectivism has to do with objectivity, not vice versa. The definition of objectivity simply does not reference objectivism.
- stablenode 5y agoOh :) Yes, that's right. Fixed it now.
