[Serious] An Argument Against Hedonistic Moral Realism
#11
RE: An Argument Against Hedonistic Moral Realism
All part of the fun.  Wink

Here's another way to address mind independence as it's relevant to moral theories.

Can we reasonably believe each other when one of us claims to have a toothache?  If we suspected that the other person was lying (to get out of duty, for example)..is there some way to verify beyond their insistence that they have that toothache that they likely or probably or very certainly would be in pain?
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 am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. 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!
