Ben Shapiro vs Neil deGrasse Tyson: The WAR Over Transgender Issues
RE: Ben Shapiro vs Neil deGrasse Tyson: The WAR Over Transgender Issues
(January 28, 2025 at 1:57 pm)The Grand Nudger Wrote: The trouble you'll run into trying to argue for the assertion that all moral statements are subjective, at least when you're having that discussion with someone advocating for any form of analytical realism..is that there's no disqualifier to true statements you can offer of moral assertions that they cannot then apply to many or any of your other assertions to truth, including those ones you make in argument against realism.  In any logical debate about morality, objectivism has a home field advantage, rightly or wrongly.
So firstly I think we have established we can make objectively true statements about morality, but only when we form a subjective moral worldview. 

Secondly, something either is or is not objectively true, whatever rationale one advocates for, indeed, independently of that rationale I would say. 

Lastly, I don't agree that morality must ultimately rest on objective truth, especially as the objective evidence does not support it. 

Objective evidence is superior to subjective opinion, only in ascertaining what is objectively true. It is not objectively true that murder, rape, slavery etc are immoral, but it is objectively true, that most people would live happier contented lives if they and those they cared for were not murdered, raped or enslaved...though I cannot say it is objectively true that the majority of people ought to live happier contented lives of course... this is just a subjective opinion I hold.
