  • Well here we are. You have taken me seriously and now, with the help of chatgpt, i will respond to you.

    ChaptGPT: You should review ethical subjectivism versus ethical objectivism.

    Me: How can multiple objective ethical viewpoints exist without proving ethics are subjective? You would have to prove, or substaniate in some way that a certain objective ethical framework stands above others. Seeing as how this remains a popular philosophical debate, im guessing you cant prove that.

    ChatGPT: popular ethical frameworks that could be adopted by a person include: denotational ethics, utilitarism, virtue ethics, natural law theory, divine command theory, moral realism, human rights theory, contractualism, objectivism, moral absolutism, pragmatism, rule consequentialism, ethical intuitionism, platonism in ethics, the doctorine of double effect.

    Me: if you are saying its a moral choice to adopt an ethical framework, and thats why each of these choices are not subjective in themselves, isnt that kind of obtuse and a semantic argument? Which is exactly what i would expect from a lemming. Because thats the way internet arguments are won.

    My friend: Tee is right on this one.

    You: Damn man you are right.









  • Pattern recognition is quite a fancy way to describe assuming.

    If i thought amazon deserved the benefit of doubt then i would probably be siding with them, but as i said, i dont have an opinion on the matter at this time.

    You are looking for shortcuts for critical thinking, and congrats, you’ve found one. As long as you dont care about the quality of the foundation of your beliefs then you are in the clear.

    If you hate amazon regardless of this story, you are entitled to that. I want to understand reality, and am willing to suspend my opinions in the absence of information to maximize my understanding of whats actually going on in the world. But yeah, its certainly simpler to do it your way.

    Its weird to me how much people tell me what i believe when i havent given them any legitimate reason to. I point out missing information for the conclusions being drawn in the comments and everyone else uses their genius shortcut logic to deduce who i am. Now, i do know who i am, and i know commenters are pretty consistently wrong when they extrapolate my opinions to praising something because im not memeing my worldview like a manchild. Life is so much more than that.
