Not sure why this got removed from 196lemmy…blahaj.zone but it would be real nice if moderation on Lemmy gave you some sort of notification of what you did wrong. Like an automatic DM or something

    If objective morality existed, we wouldn’t be arguing about those things since we would all be in the same agreement.

    Even “murder is wrong” isn’t objective morally when you ask someone who believes in the death penalty.

      This argument makes a fundamental mistake. Objective does not mean everyone agrees. Objective just means it’s true.

      The earth goes around the sun is objectively true, but give me 5 minutes and I can find you someone to disagree with that statement.

      Disagreeing with an objective truth just means you’re wrong.

        “Objective just means it’s true”. No it doesn’t. How do you even define “truth”? How do I know that I am not the only real person and that all of u r NPCs? How do I know that I am not in a simulation? Now, discussing about the simulation hypothesis is dumb, as it is unscientific in nature. It is not testable.

        What is true can be established only when it goes through the scientific method. Hence, an “objective” statement is that statement that would be agreed upon using the scientific method by a certain consensus.

        Morality is not testable. Hence, the scientific method cannot be used here. Hence, it can never be objective.
