| Nov 21, 2018 at 3:43 | comment | added | Chelonian | @confused I'm fairly certain in my moral non-realism, but I wouldn't say I have total certainty (though I'm also not sure I'd say I have total certainty about anything). | |
| Nov 20, 2018 at 15:03 | comment | added | confused | interesting, thanks. are you certain in your meta-ethical beliefs (pascal's wager?) | |
| Sep 17, 2018 at 20:17 | comment | added | Chelonian | @SAH No, they aren't. Kind means wishing others well-being (which can be then defined in terms of health, happiness, lack of pain or distress), and fair means wishing proportionality of outcomes (not enough room here to unpack that here) to everyone. If you want to reply further, do so in a chat room and invite me there and I'd be happy to. | |
| Sep 17, 2018 at 17:44 | comment | added | SAH | @Chelonian OK, I see... Although aren't "kind" and "fair" a new problem? | |
| Sep 17, 2018 at 11:32 | comment | added | Chelonian | @SAH The point is, speaking strictly philosophically, I don't believe there are morally-necessary actions, nor that that concept is even coherent. That said, my behavior matches quite well to common moral norms, because I happen to be a kindhearted and fair-minded person. | |
| Sep 17, 2018 at 10:59 | comment | added | rus9384 | @SAH I think you mean some kind of social norms. I'm pretty sure everyone at least sometimes does something others (the majority) may dislike. But what's the point of this question? There are people who are not conform. | |
| Sep 17, 2018 at 10:09 | comment | added | SAH | @Chelonian Is this to say that if one day you ran across a morally-necessary action that did not serve you, or the inverse, you would for sure act contrary to the norms of morality? | |
| Sep 13, 2018 at 17:33 | comment | added | rus9384 | But you still can cause suffering to those who cause suffering. | |
