Anyone who accepts a different monistic theory does that. I'm going to call bullshit on your question-begging accusation. It's not bullshit because I'm not a hedonist.You can call bullshit all you like..but it won;t matter. To assert "but science can't assign the value" is assuming that initial point of contention in your favor. They are arguing that it can, and providing a justification for why it can as well as suggesting how. If you don;t think that's The Value then you wont be convinced by hedonism..but not because science couldn't assign a value to what they propose.
Quote:It's bullshit because the argument from the scientific test of reality makes a valid point. If morality is objective, then scientist ought to have caught wind of it. Have they? No. Is it for lack of trying? No. If scientists could prove moral realism, that would be their first order of business.A rolling series of non-sequiturs, and yet -more- question begging.
"If a cure for cancer existed, then scientists ought to have caught wind of it by now. Have they? No. Is it for lack of trying? No. If scientists could cure cancer that would be their first order of business."
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
