Are good and bad subjective?

Is it okay to cut part of a baby's genitals?

These videos are great.

Thank you 🥹

Good and evil are objective, when one understands their root is in reality What one believes to be good or bad depends on your philosophy. A mystical philosophy will call for human sacrifices; an objective one will support human life. @OPARAynRand

Christians of the past (and many today who'd love to do the same) had no problem sacrificing people to their Abrahamic/Jewish God. They just called them witches, warlocks, heretics, unbelievers, etc., who needed to be removed if they couldn't be converted.

Good solid start point for a useful discussion. I like it.

I gotta hand it to you Lina. Deep thinker.

Oh yes, let's put all examples of "White people bad". Why not mention the Indians burning widows or the Muslim countries implementing death penalty on homosexuals? Those are much more recent or even contemporary.

Correct

Our intellects are bounded, yet the truth is one. Beautiful finish, very much in the spirit of Aquinas.

Ultimate Truth is beyond us. That’s why the Truth reached down to us from above, in the Christ.

I would also add the physical aspect. Doing something bad just feels,well bad. Likewise the good. One could argue it's the soul giving you a heads up

Just keep them out of Western countries and culture.

Great. One caveat: The universe has cause and effect - Brains are too lazy and dumb to comprehend it. Physical reality exists: -Its past can be judged against certain objectives: e.g. building complexity. -Its future is irreducibly complex. @grok

Satanic Human Sacrifice (involuntary) is very different from old Germanic Self Sacrifice to the gods. The idea of Self Sacrifice for the greater good still lingers on even in Christianity.

Interesting🤔🤔 Could it also be that just as objective reality is absolute, objective morality is also an absolute? Immutable absolutes that are not embedded in the human DNA but a process to be discovered and absorbed to be encoded into the DNA as part of the journey towards perfect morality in all aspects of human endeavors?

A lot to digest. How about: Love God, Love your Neighbor. In this context; God is all things, and neighbor is included in "all things". "Never think, say, or do what is wrong. Always think, say and do what is right. (Richard Wetherill).

Moral truth is mostly defined by hive mind. It fluctuates in time.

Arent many adjectives just subjective, anyway? They are often gradable and context-sensitive: what counts as “good” or “bad” depends on the comparison class or the relevant threshold. Perception and vague boundaries introduce some room for disagreement.

if you assume morals are emergent property of a stochastic process then your existence is the proof of your own moral superiority. the problem is when you see yourself apart from that process, and begin to think there’s no moral axioms. basically, the modern left.

Old story already covered by guys in 18th century.

My bad, I didn’t know we could only talk about things once in the human timeline

I didn’t say you couldn’t talk about it. My honest apologies if I made it sound that way.

back then they didn't have the "luxury" to think about children's rights or even the right to grow up unbothered and safe

They are not subjective. We should feel guilt when we do bad things.

It’s evolutionary..

No.

it depends on the point of view after all: all reality is virtual there is no such thing as death life is just a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves
