If we’re going to have a made up system with no rules, it might as well be well ordered.
I simply don’t have the stomach for rape or genocide. My reason tells me these things might in some future be be necessary, if there were a contrived situation in which a madman asked me to rape someone or he’ll nuke the world. But my “ick factor” disagrees, and would not permit me to act as I reason. Fortunately, I cannot see the likelihood of such a situation in my lifetime. I have a reasonable certainty of upholding my principles if I always condemn those who rape or genocide. Well, as long as I don’t get it into my head that CNC is rape.
I do not understand why you are so opposed to humility. I don’t know everything. I have access to no fundamental great truth of the world. I recognise my feelings on right and wrong to be just that - feelings. You find the smallness of my ego offensive. This doesn’t make any sense to me.
I think all rape is bad, due to my utilitarianism, and my conviction that rape is a deeply violating act which causes suffering that cannot be made up for
Now, explain your ancap objectivist viewpoint.
Data is nothing without context.
You’re a moral objectivist, too? Shall I start calling you Ms Rand?
No, it doesn’t. Whoever says psychopath is speaking Greek. They should stop that and speak a language they understand.
You don’t need objective truth to hate Trump. You can just subjectively believe rape is wrong. Are you saying you don’t have a subjective opinion against rape?
The point of science isn’t to produce data. It’s to produce conclusions. The conclusions will be different.
Objective in the second way means that people performing the same actions will get the same results regardless of cultural or personal biases.
I guarantee you that if a Christian and an atheist are given the same prayer healing treatment, the Christian will see a stronger placebo effect. Try the same experiment on the efficacy of faith healing in Afghanistan and in Sweden, you’ll get different results.
Are you saying the Trump administration are poststructuralists who believe everything is open to interpretation?
But science is “objective” to the extent that experiments are repeatable by any any given person following the same methodology will be the same results.
No, the beliefs of the researcher are a confounding variable in any experiment. This is called observer bias. Most researchers believe in disputed ideas like personhood, spacetime, and objects, which influence their scientific conclusions. This isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. Science exists within our socially constructed world. A truly objective epistemology would be incomprehensible to us, because we are not objectively perceiving or thinking creatures.
You religious quacks are what’s wrong with science. Worshipping the idea of science instead of using the scientific method as a tool.
questions the objectivity or stability of the various interpretive structures that are posited by structuralism and considers them to be constituted by broader systems of power.
Calling people who disagree with you mentally ill is one of the reasons poststructuralists say you’re oppressing them.

There are no undeniable facts. Science doesn’t prove anything objectively, it merely provides evidence to support or reject certain ideas.
Psychopath doesn’t mean anything in Latin.
Lots of homeless people have cars. Often, they live in them. That said, it would be better for them to get to work by walking, cycling, or using public transportation.
Retail stores are dying because of cars. Every time the data shows: parking spaces decrease business, bike lanes and train stations increase it.
Stores are failing because the land they’re on isn’t useful. Cars have poisoned it.
What’s this nonsense? Why don’t you just say “they” like a normal person?
