Sure it's relative. For instance, you all believe it's OK to subjugate and kill animals, yet would not like to have the same things done to you by a more intelligent species.

Just because it's relative doesn't mean it's bad or unneeded in society.

This is something, in terms of what morality can be defined as, I would say that the platinum rule is pretty solid:
Do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you.

Stop acting like a child.

No one owes it to you to convince you that their beliefs are correct. The vast majority of us believe things like "murder is wrong" to be brute facts. Yes: they're arbitrary. Yes: they're based on biology and feelings.

You actually agree with us, because you wouldn't be posting this kinda stuff if you weren't looking for approval and feedback from others.

It's a psychological question--not one of absolute rationality. There is no objective ethical framework to which we can irrefutably appeal.

But we still all have a shared one that we all agree on. And once you stop being an edgy teenager, you'll stop acting so fucking entitled and pretending someone else owes it to you, to explain why you believe it, too.

But you wouldn't know what the rules are to begin with. You would be guessing them seeing as you would have no reason to assume one particular religion is correct, or one set of ideas about God's rules is correct. Therefore irrespective of what God's rules hypothetically may be, you can't choose to live by them even if you wanted to.

What's your point? There are neither any members of ISIS nor any psycopaths in this thread.

By the way: psychopaths (by which you are prolly referring to socipaths) actually do believe that murder is wrong. They lack empathy--not a sense of right and wrong.

You said we have a shared ethical framework.
I was just pointing out that is wrong.
People have different ideas on what is right and wrong.
The fact that most of society can agree on some morals is irrelevant.
There are still others that do not agree with most of society.
>>
>>73969235
Technically not, but current moralities are end result of memetic evolution, where civilisations/cultures that beared beneficial viewpoints (like judeochristian commandments don't kill/steal/cuck so you can expect others not to as well) grew while others didn't, offspring inherited morality, infecting rest of population.
Most of moral codices are in essence rules of protecting social order and tools for cultures to sustain themselves.

It is relative, but there is literally nothing wrong (and in fact it is evolutionarily advantageous) to impose your morality onto others.
>>
>>73969781
Dude, you where trying so hard to be an edgy contrarian faggot that you just turned out to be a regular faggot.

Yes, there is an absolute moral and ethical framework we can work with, it's simple causality.

We can measure the affects of our actions on other people a number of ways, by MRI scans or just health. Our actions have a direct impact on our health, and we can measure it.

The only way you can say morality is not objective is by saying that life has no inherent value, and if that's true then you should kill yourself.
Therefore, there are some actions we can definitively say

Flat value? So it's moral to kill to gain enough to outbid some fella's life?

If we apply the theory of evolution to civilizations you can get an objective view of what good morals are. In the context of a civilization obviously.

Considering each civilization start with a different culture, set of morals one could assume that these morals have an important effect on the welfare of the civilization. By observing which civlizations collapsed and which flourished you can get a grasp of which morals are best for a society to thrive.

So morals are subjective but the best morals are objective because we know what kind of morals dominated the world for several centuries. That's why I think European morals are the best there is. Well, before we started the decline.

They're not.
1.You always have to include shitloads of implyings in every mathematical statement you omit in normal life.

Whitehead, Russel "Principia Mathematica"
>Famously, several hundred pages are required in PM to prove the validity of the proposition 1+1=2.

2. Look up Gödel's incompleteness theorems that disprove absolute definition of every formal language.

And for an example - every imaginary number math starts with "let us assume there is such an i that i^2=-1 " that is not rooted in any prior statement, someone theorized it as an entity, and it's used because it works.

Man, I am fully familiar with modal logics/set theory and all it implies. You could have added Chitalins Omegas and Kolgomorov complexity to the mix,but it would not change the nature of the argument. You missed the target. The argument is that it cannot be disproven or proven in regard to digital physics (information based) . That is the central point.

>We can measure the affects of our actions on other people a number of ways, by MRI scans or just health.
We can observe that certain effects take place. Morality, however, is not about what is, but about what ought to be.

Pray do tell, what does your MRI scanner tell me about that?

there is no end result of evolution - that would only be true if there was a fixed environment to adapt to and in reality there is a changing one and these societies you're talking about tend to grow up to a point and then collapse which is hardly some sort of ideal evolutionary achievement to be accepted and never questioned.
