Moral Oughts

[Acrobat]

All of that indicates to me how you derived the ought here, but not about the nature of the ought.

I might say that using the same bases, I perceive an ought, that I see as an objective truth.

I’m just trying to understand whether someone like yourself, sees it more as assigning yourself a subjective goal/ought.

I might explain to you why I don’t like eating crabs, ie because I’m disgusted by the texture, it makes my throat itch, I had a bad experience with it when I was a kid, but I can indicate that my dislike of it is subjective.

I don't like the objective vs. subjective question because the cutting line between them can be fuzzy as hell.

The selection itself, I would say, is subjective to the person. The reasons, however, are based on predictions or observed facts.

I’ve had a number of atheists suggest that they have issues with the objective vs subjective distinction, though primarily when it comes to morality.

For the most part, people have less of issue indicating things as objective, such in regards to moral facts, or the tree in front of my yard, but subjective is where they have hangups.

In my view anything that isn’t objective is subjective. So if your consider right and wrong objective truths, but don’t consider moral oughts objective truths, than they’d fall under subjective.

Objective would indicate something that’s true independent of your own personal particularities,
If it’s the sort of things that true for you, but necessarily for me, than they’re subjective.
