Not sure why this got removed from 196lemmy…blahaj.zone but it would be real nice if moderation on Lemmy gave you some sort of notification of what you did wrong. Like an automatic DM or something

      I would say we can’t in most cases know exactly or even approximately what is the objectively morally better decision. But that doesn’t make it less objective. It just makes it hard or perhaps even impossible to know.

          Because for something to be considered objective the only necessary condition is that how something is lies entirely with the object itself and not with the person(s) looking at it. Whether or not we can measure it in actuality doesn’t matter for that definition.

          Consider you could wire every existing person up to some kind of device that measures their physical and psychological pain and gives out a number, it doesn’t matter who looks at it, it would obviously always be the same number.

            You think everyone has the same levels of physical and psychological pain tolerance? Nonsense. I have trigeminal neuralgia. I’m would bet my pain tolerance is objectively a hell of a lot higher than yours at this point.

                I thought the device was a way to measure objective truths. How could they be objective if our numbers are different for the same type of pain generation?

                  Because the question isn’t whether or not each action causes the same pain in everyone, but whether or not it is theoretically measurable and comparable.

                    How do you measure it accurately if it isn’t the same for everyone? How is this number calculated when pain is subjective? Because pain is not objective. Some people even enjoy pain.
