I hope some day, you realize moral relativism is bullshit.
- jlgreco 14y agoWho's standard of morality do you suggest I adopt? Yours?
- eurleif 14y agoI suggest you realize there is a standard of morality, then work on figuring out what it is.
- jlgreco 14y agoI see no pressing need. My value system is flawed.. from your perspective. However I, not being you, don't see it as flawed and therefore see no reason to revise it. Listen, I don't ask you to approve of what I eat (frankly, I don't give one damn about your approval). I expect that you will never agree with me. If you think resolving that is my intention, then you are dreadfully mistaken.
- eurleif 14y agoI understand that. But you should understand that, since you don't think morality exists, you can't call the guy who murders your family wrong. You can't call Hitler wrong. You can only say they're people who happen to have a different value system from you, which in absolute terms makes them no more right or wrong than anyone else.
- jlgreco 14y agoThat strikes me as a tad hyperbolic, but what do I know? I guess if I eat meat I must literally be a Nazi! I don't recall saying that morality doesn't exist, though I am still intrigued by this standard for morality you mentioned earlier. Obviously this isn't something ISO dabbles in; who then shall I consult if I want to learn about it? Are there books? Or perhaps shamans on mountaintops I should consult?
