"Should" Questions Are Subjective

I've been nothing but cordial, but no surprise, Gary has blocked me!

Response video to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxfLjan4zoQ&feature=channel_page

The question at hand is NOT are pain and suffering subjective, they of course are things we can see via objective sources. The question is whether or not we SHOULD care.

Trying to say that what you value the most is the most important the thing in the world is the very definition of operating via subjective mentality, Gary.

"We should care. We should change the world"

Within philosophy those are normative statements. Normative statements at their core are subjective. They're supposition about what it "would be best to do"...Your normative and my normative might or might not overlap. You've outlined that very well here. So how can such statements ever be classified as 'objective'? They can't obviously. A lot of dogmas insist on claiming that "Should" statements are objective to enforce compliance with their norms

Are you of the impression that logical argumentation is not something applicable in this circumstance as well?

[mikepeino]

What do you mean by "justifiably"? Is that a universal standard?

[mikepeino]

Essentially, your argument as I grasp it is that you would find a world in which Gary did not propose objective should rules to be more aesthetically pleasing. Would you say that is accurate?

[JasperAvi]

Do you know what aesthetic means? :(

[mikepeino]

So all of this is just about your aesthetic preference then?

[JasperAvi]

I'm not saying they shouldn't. I'm just saying I like to correct people who make incorrect statements.

You're certainly not going to pigeonhole me here. This isn't something I haven't examined for logical holes. :)

[mikepeino]

Well, to be precise, you could say Gary is incorrect. But that implies that one should not make incorrect statements. Is that a universal should? Why bother to correct Gary or argue with him at all?

[JasperAvi]

That's fine.

You continue along doing that.

I'm merely explaining why he hasn't proven a god damn thing objectively.

[JasperAvi]

I would say Gary is wrong, not that Gary was acting wrongly.

The word has two definitions :)

[mikepeino]

If all shoulds are subjective, why would you bother to argue with a person claiming to make objective should rules? In my subjective world, people should believe in objective ethics.
