So long as the mental designations..that only exist in our minds, carry existent referents beyond them, they are taken to be objective and "real" - those that don't, aren't.
Lol, you denied the existence of good and bad as “stuff”, unlike a cup, or two apples.
If you believe in some sort platonic conception of the form of the Good, it might make sense that when you say good, it’s referring to an existent referent out there in reality.
But you deny the very existence of the thing your mental designations are supposedly referring to out there.
I deny that you're capable of competently describing it. Try again you tedious moron, lol.
Honestly, it's not as if this is complicated. You spoke directly out of your ass. Own it.
