How do we know what is right, and what is wrong?
Post #1How do we know what is right, and what is wrong? For example, I think it is wrong to be a herbivore or a carnivore or an omnivore, or a parasite. I think all living things should be autotrophs. I think only autotrophs are good and the rest are evil. However, I am not certain that my thoughts are right. Can herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and parasites become autotrophs at will? If so, why don't they? If they can't become autotrophs at will, is it really their fault that they are not autotrophs?

Post #350Shifting the burden is not evidence for one's claim. If you want to present the inability to prove one you'd have to display every single attempt and logically show how they all fail.JoeyKnothead wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 4:44 pmAs to proving my assertion, I present the inability to prove one, just one moral value that's true across all times and people, as evidence of the subjective nature of morality. There's my evidence for my claim. If folks wanna think it ain't right, or it's too weak, or whatever, so be it.
