Well that only took 319 days. Long album, eh?

See, I don't think natural selection has anything to do with morals.

I think if we had an infant that was somehow self-sustaining and let it raise itself in the wilderness until it was an adult, th ...

Yes, morals clearly exist as concepts, that's not even debatable.

I basic premise of the topic is to discuss if there is any possible way to decipher right and wrong, whether it be through the indi ...

@Fugitive: so which one would you categorize me as, subjective or skeptic?

I think you correctly surmised your stance by calling yourself a moral subjectivist. From what I gather you think morals c ...

Morality certainly exists, I think we can certainly agree on that.

I don't agree.

so I would be happy to engage with anyone who disagrees with me.

I honestly did think about this for a while, which posts don't normally seem to require from me. (Probably because I'm good at figuring out what I think of something rather quickly.) Morals are quite ...

That said, I like the direction you took it. Let's take it a bit farther, if you'll h ...

I don't need long responses, just well thought out ones that are more than a couple sentences. Your post was fine for what I pleaded.

Just curious, what would you say the basic axioms are to begin ...
