Would you say that God's moral prescripts are predicated by the fact that he happens to value us equally? Does his morals pressupose what he values?

@manutdfan4321

By his morals, if you mean, the morality he intends us to live by, yes his morals presupposes what he values.

So I was watching this video again for no reason in particular, but are you very familiar with Jaegwon Kim?

@WayOfTheBastard

yup! anddd, i'm not entirely sure what i think about non-reductive materialism being a farce, but i guess i just need a walk-through into his arguments so i can understand it better.

you guys are just arguing semantics now.

[legodesi]

@three7eightyfive

what do you mean by that, and how are we arguing semantics?

[Foxcanine1]

Just some clarification for better understanding. In what way is " we are not to kill" objective?

Also when you see morality, do you see it as mainly an ought or an is?

[DarkKnightBob1o1]

@three7eightyfive semantics is the basis for the confusion in the first place.

dip your head a little lower in your next vid so we can see your slick new lawyer haircut in all its glory!

I think I liked the ceaser better...

objective morals cannot be a bandwagon argument because we know that the moral zeitgeist is true. A better explanation is shared subjective values as consistent with time and culture of the subject.
