Quote:It often seems to create a false dichotomy where something is pushed towards either "just an opinion" or "totally factual"; so many things end up more nuanced than that.IDK, it may seem that way, but that isn't any claim of or necessary to moral realism, to objective morality.
Quote:Morality is clearly neither hard-coded into reality, nor arbitrary whims.Moral realism contends or allows for both. Moral realism is a position on those things (purportedly) "hard-coded into reality" and contained in our moral propositions. The effect (and presence) of arbitrary whim is very real, but it's a comment on the moral agent...not the purported moral fact of a matter x.
Concepts like super-rationality, blind construction, permissive normatives...all empoyed by moral realists to both acknowledge and then account for error in that regard.
(not an exhaustive list - imma make a thread about blind construction at some point...it's the perfect participatory conjecture, lol)

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!
