Ramesh #NotGoingBack#KnowNothing #CardiB is too stupid to realize that NOT voting for #Biden is a vote FOR #Trump, and that her boycott of #Election2024 could be her last — She might not get another opportunity to vote EVER.

>> #CardiB isn’t stupid LIKE, AT ALL.
Her profile says, “I'll follow you back 9 times out of 10. Unless you're super political, sorry I just don't want all that in my head jit”
Let’s just say I don’t want to be #10.
Also, she’s right. I shouldn’t be as presumptuous. May be #Cardi knows something I don’t.
ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIES@nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta
It's important to have a moral center. But morality has to imply action. If your supposed morality moves you to inaction when you know and don't care that the world will get worse due to your inaction, you're not moral at all. You're privileged and entitled
Alternatively you're a plutocrat/ geopolitical agenda troll/ agent provocateur and you're pushing inaction because you're malicious, acting on fools because you understand the real world effect
Escarpment@benroyce @nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta You, like most people, appear to be a zealous moral realist / moral objectivist. Chiming in here to point out that there is another way of viewing things, as a moral skeptic / moral subjectivist. To the moral skeptic, "a strong moral core" is a fantasy that people simply hope exists.

😆
thanks for your hilariously unaware zealous comment
if we get Trump as president, make sure to tell the fascists taking away our rights that you appreciate their alternative "moral" realities
@benroyce @nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta
You are proving my point, not refuting it. Most people, when introduced to moral skepticism for the first time, make the argument, "Oh yeah, but what about *this* bad thing" (in your case, Trump and fascism.) This is an error.
By analogy, I might say "color is an illusion created by the brain given different wavelengths of light" and your response is "oh yeah, but look how red this apple is!"
@escarpment @nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta
hey, uh, great moral philosopher? hello? are you there?
the topic is voting in the next election. scroll up. look at the thread you're in
i'm not changing the topic
but feel free to babble about color perception. no cringe bizarre topic change there
@benroyce @nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta
You seem to be quite anti-intellectual if you don't have the fortitude to analyze topics you care about such as voting through a philosophical lens.
Or if you can't comprehend simple and illustrative analogies for philosophical concepts that are related to the concrete topic at hand.
@escarpment @nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta
i care about voting
you are beckoning me to enter the awesome gladiatorial excitement of the massive thunderdome of moral relativism vs moral absolutism
not interested dude
stop trying to railroad the conversation into your tangentially related topic
