@Usadad09@FlaniganHe75613@amazingatheist This branch off should have been an example of why "good" is not always a moral term.
If we go right back to where we began "Why effiecient society is good?" still does not use the "moral" meaning, and there is not infinite regress, effiecient society is good because it is ...
@Usadad09@FlaniganHe75613@amazingatheist what would a non-moral belief even look like? And you still haven't said where morality comes in with a knife being sharp and durable.
@Usadad09@FlaniganHe75613@amazingatheist Definitions don't regress forever. They stop at things like what people want to eat or what the knife physically does. And a core belief isn't automatically a moral one. "I want a clean slice of tomato" is a preference, not a moral position. If every belief counts as morality,...
@Usadad09@FlaniganHe75613@amazingatheist Morality is not the only drive for subjective opinions, the are also biology, habits, experience. How "I like the taste of tea and dislike the taste of coffee" is driven by morality?
@Usadad09@FlaniganHe75613@amazingatheist Yes, you have to define "success" but a knife satisfying this criteria is not a subjective matter. By the way, didn't you just avoid my second example?
@Usadad09@FlaniganHe75613@amazingatheist On the other hand, if we strip away the subjective aspect, for example by saing "that knife is good at cutting tomatoes", is that still connected to morality? Or by going in a different direction and saying that a good knife is sharp, durable and cuts well?
@Usadad09@FlaniganHe75613@amazingatheist The knife os merely an example of how "good" is not always about morality and not the change of topic, you yourself didn't show that "good" is always about morality (because it is not true)...
@Usadad09@FlaniganHe75613@amazingatheist You literally have to remove definitions of the word "good" to be correct... The "morality" one is only of them... Source: https://t.co/ygOLTYnoKv
@Usadad09@FlaniganHe75613@amazingatheist Good is sometimes a moral term, it is not always.
A "good knife" is not relates to moraloty in any way.
And I didn't call "better survivorship and reproduction" good. I said that the effiecient society is good becausw it causes better survivorship and repeoduction, just like...
@Usadad09@FlaniganHe75613@amazingatheist You know that "good" in "Why is efficient society good?" is not the "morality" one?
It is the "causes better survivorship and reproduction" good. There is no endless regress.
@kyouma_hououin1@VETJPGOU In another time line, I guess, this thread wouldn't have happened.
Would anyone be sad about it? No.
Would anyone be happy? No.
And those who remember this timeline will question their sanity: "Where is the thread I replied to recently?"
@pooopypeepy@GaryTheAlien44 Yes, sun rays are not parallel by definition, they appear nearly parallel because of the distance to their origin (the sun), but they do meet at a single point in 3d space, not just a vanishing point of the projection
