That there are no objective truths. (Moral) relativism is self contradictory without justifying its "privilege".

Related: "All moral beliefs are equally true". So my belief that I am right and you are wrong makes you wrong, which the relativist has to accept to be true.

Moral relativism is for cucks. More news at 11.

ITT lack of differentiation

>Moral relativism may be any of several philosophical positions concerned with the differences in moral judgments across different people and cultures. Descriptive moral relativism holds only that some people do in fact disagree about what is moral; meta-ethical moral relativism holds that in such disagreements, nobody is objectively right or wrong; and normative moral relativism holds that because nobody is right or wrong, we ought to tolerate the behavior of others even when we disagree about the morality of it.

Arguement against descriptive MR: There's a common theme to be found in every culture aroudn the world, every culture believes torturing babies is wrong blabla. Practice obfuscates very similar if not same intentions.

Argument against meta-ethical MR: (In the realm of practical ethics) so what? Back to your ivory tower.

Argument against normative MR: See OP.

Fuck, I'm just saying that even if I, as a moral relativist, stated that all moral beliefs are equally true or valid (which I don't, and I don't think nobody really does) I wouldn't have to admit as true your statement of "You are wrong, there are particular moral statements that are true and exclude others from being so" because that isn't a moral statement. It certainly is implied by the sole affirmation of any moral statement, but it is not one itself.

If you want to argue with me you're going to have to get off your meta horse. I agreed the first time around that's not a moral statement. What IS a moral statement is me saying your morals are wrong (backwards, perverted).

Now, a moral relativist making moral statements says "There is no objective truth/nobody can be said to be right or wrong because..." (insert your previous post) "and therefore we should..".

I can still take the first part of that sentence "There is no objective truth/nobody can be said to be right or wrong because..." and answer, respectively

>>
>>8343112

The situation is not analogous because you're arbitrarily claiming that life is only valuable if the person is currently a conscious entity.

If a person is sleeping, what value do they hold to you? They will shortly become conscious again, so was their value in their potential to go from the unconscious to the conscious state in a timely matter? If the person was a vegetable, what value as a human would they have?

The baby has value not because they are a conscious, feeling individual, but because, sans intervention to the contrary, they would become a fully grown, conscious and healthy person in 18 years.

As for whether or not a person is morally culpable if they choose to not have kids, that's actually merits possible discussion, but generally, complex and diversionary claims like that don't make much sense to me.

>>
>>8343150

>This definition of intervention is dubious

Not really.

The opportunity cost doesn't justify the act, especially when you consider that a person who is pregnant can nearly always have reasonably expected to be pregnant.

Yes, being pregnant is uncomfortable, but this discomfort seems slight in response to the importance people place on life.

The entire discussion of 'intervention' and whether or not a fetus is a baby or an entity is entirely a semantic deflection. Significant energy is now invested in a fertilized egg becoming a conscious human, with a (admittedly 'unfair') duty to investment that doesn't justify termination in my estimation.

You could argue that it's all pointless and life is meaningless if you were to be very stringent on making the distinction between the potential person and the person. In my estimation, we can only do and moralize what we can reasonably model. Worrying about masturbating into a tissue instead of a vagina seems excessive, whereas deciding to terminate a baby or fetus because they require external care seems pretty clear cut.

I support abortion for rape for evolutionary reasons. It's a necessary social institution, and sadly a life must sometimes be lost to ensure the safety and health of a society. The best you can say is that the baby never saw it coming.

Sure, the mother's life seems more important.

No, you idiots have it backwards. The point is that abortion is not more of an act of intervention than taking care of the baby. The point is just that you can't say "well it would have been a person if not for you meddling kids". Other anti-abortion arguments may still be valid.

Because I'm not convinced that intelligence matters as much as life. When I think of the worst possible thing that could happen to me, it isn't losing 50 IQ points, it's being obliviated and ceasing to exist forever.

>>>I can still take the first part of that sentence "There is no objective truth/nobody can be said to be right or wrong because..."
I didn't said there is no objective truth. It only doesn't apply to morals. The negation of the effective/positive validness of moral beliefs only takes morals out of the field of what can be defined as right or wrong, and isn't contradictory of its own pretension of being a right statement (since it doesn't use the parameter of moral rightness or wrongness, but the parameter of trueness or falseness). Guess I'm back into the metastuff, but I really don't see how true moral relativism does imply a moral statement in any way neither I can think of moral relativism from other serious perspective than the one what you call metaethic desu

It's irrelevant because in retrospect I now value my life more than any known thing.

I can't wait to see your Platonic BTFO face when the form-engine is finally perfected and we will have front row seats to the face of god.

Will he even be allowed to sit there?

No, but his perfect BTFO face will be in the register.

I will think of him and laugh!

>I didn't said there is no objective truth. It only doesn't apply to morals
I fucked up here yeah. Objective *moral* truths.

Does this sum up your position or not? I can also turn it into "We don't know if there are any objective moral truths (because blablabla, insert bulletproof reasoning here etc.)" if that suits you better.

The moment you use that to make normative statements like "therefore we should be more tolerant" or "therefore we cannot use this moral disagreement (even if it feels very real to us) as basis for intervention" I simply ask "But I thought there were no objective moral truths?".

My position is that simple but no one tried to refute it yet.

>Normative ethics is the study of ethical action. It is the branch of philosophical ethics that investigates the set of questions that arise when considering how one ought to act, morally speaking. Normative ethics is distinct from meta-ethics because it examines standards for the rightness and wrongness of actions, while meta-ethics studies the meaning of moral language and the metaphysics of moral facts.

You say your take on MR does not imply moral statements? We are not in disagreement.

I'm glad you have ascended to Vulcan-hood.

Tbh I'm the one thinking of the children. Ever heard of Harlow's monkeys?

>>8343563
Now you are sounding less and less like a true Vulcan.
>>
>>8343509
Ok, then I guess I'm cool with what you say. I think tolerance or applied/normative moral relativism is also a moral position and, therefore, arbitrary (and colliding with itself). But that wasn't how OP or you expressed it tho.
>>
>>8343578
tolerance equates the allowance of sin
>>
>>8343581
Nah mane there ain't no sin
Not even fucking tolerance up

It was always the OP.

You have completed the quest.

Actually I was just reading babbies first argument against relativism online and missed the mark in my original post thinking it refutes metaethical positions like yours and later had to move the goalpost

Thanks for being a good sport.

Yeah tolerance fucking sucks. But that's why God created both uppers and downers, amiright?

I'm only euphoric on 4chan because there are no repercussions for being a dumbass on here.

>people deciding to end another's life (or prevent a life from starting, either way) = a person deciding they don't want certain measure taken to attempt to prolong their own lives

I'm pro-choice and ok with DNR orders, but your claim is fucking ridiculous.

while Vulcans snuggle safely on their planet of space-buddhism the Romulans are making weapons, warp drives, and planet constructs from black holes

also Commander Data and his brother Lore are Q in the flesh

btw the only objective moral law is the Prime Directive

>>8343711
que significa picardía en espanol, quiero hacer puns de Star Trek

>>8343673
That is truly a reason for allowing euphoria to flow freely, for what is here to stop it?
>>
>>8342477
that's not a moral truth dumbass

>>8343678
So are pro-life claims, which was the point, dingus.

Yeah, I'm with you on that, I get that you were being ironic, and like I said, I am pro-choice, but it was a ridiculous way to make your argument.

It's nice that you're specific in your statements so they sound reasonable.

I don't know if you brought up DNR as a reductio ad absurdum, but this is actually the Catholic Church's position.

You have a lazy imagination. Would you mind getting your balls and limbs sawed off with a dull knife while your eyeballs were being drilled and your head was dipped with hot liquid lead for days less than just dying?
