Yeah I'm not really buying into moral relativism.

Chill, bro. No one's selling you anything.

I'm not attempting to persuade anyone of anything.

Besides, I wouldn't say I'm a moral relativist. More of a moral agnostic.

Obviously if you're describing any current moral codes, written or unwritten, they will mostly be personal, cultural, in many ways arbitrary and always changing. That doesn't mean they're all "right", unless you define them to de facto have to be.

Can you name any single moral or ethical framework (past or current) that doesn't start in its first, opening statements by blindly asserting that something is "right" or "good" and then drawing out all the conclusions of that statement? Implying that the entire system is "right" if the opening statement is "right."

Can you conceive of any moral or ethical foundation that is provable?

If no past or current or conceivable future code of morals can be "right" outside of its own conceit, can we ever know if we have the "right" one?
I'm not saying anyone's wrong. I'm not saying there is no moral right. I'm saying we just don't know. Can't know.
So let's all be nice to each other in the mean time.

I would also like to think a thinking man such as yourself wouldn't sink so low as to define something as bad because "it's socialism". Results should matter, not some arbitrary labels.

I never!


I'd like to think you'd recall me saying the exact same things over and over again. That there is no best social or political or economic system. Each excels at different scales and applications, and trying to pigeon-hole everything into any one system is definitely never best.

Day 13 of self-quarantine. Starting to get slightly bored.

Yeah. I think we're all a little stir-crazy.
