>friend tells me he started the day discussing 'relative

It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect anon.

He's not wrong but he's using the wrong definition of morals/morality

So he's still stupid but there's a context in which he would be correct

>>8434852
He is wrong either way. Ethics is simply the philosophical study of morality.

>>8434857
I know it is, but in colloquial ethics are collective values whereas morals are personal ones. He's wrong in the philosophy context but that's only because of a semantic misunderstanding on his part

>>8434834
you mean, you actually hang out with non-libertines? wtf board am I on?

sometimes they'll realize later

seriously though cut the guy some slack, he might've just read or heard someone else make a similar distinction and done fucked up, being new to the subject and not really knowing the terms

>>8434865
Earlier he argued that there must be an alternate reality that did not have a reality

Take the adult advice that was just given to you and stop having a bitterness boner over this guy. Talking about every little bullshit thing he said with strangers on the internet and shit. Who the fuck cares? Forget him.

I care.

I had to listen to an incredibly drunk philosopher from Birmingham join my table at a beach (after confusing our conversation for a debate on Christianity) and decided to buy him drinks for a good while. He was very amusing, but kept confusing solipsism for fideism and was studying free will in a mountain range nearby. Towards the end, after he tried to sell his watch for another shot of rum, he gave me some philosophical rundown of big labias and told me, after failing to become a priest, that he had stolen all his money from a mortgaging error by his bank, and could never return home.

>started the day discussing "relative morality"

Jesus Christ, what a fucking tryhard. You should have just ridiculed him for that instead.
