Moral Oughts

[Acrobat]

That’s a lot of noise to avoid your own criteria. You’ve indicated that you deeply care about conforming to your moral schema. If caring makes a schema subjective, then your schema is subjective.

Here’s the thing, it doesn’t. So, you don’t actually have to launch this batshit argument to save your own schema from your own objections.....but, ofc, neither does anyone else. Caring about something doesn’t make that thing subjective.

A fact remains a fact regardless of whether anyone cares about it.

There are some moral things that I care about, such as being a good dad to my children, a good husband, etc..

The are others that I don’t really care about it all, like the loss of your wallet, as indicated in my example. I don’t deeply care about it at all.

But the lack of caring here doesn’t mean, the eradication of the ought, because unlike you I see “Ought not steal” as a truth. And truth doesn’t care about my feelings.
