Makeshift

You have a physical presence in space. That’s objective. Emphasis on object. Something being objective doesn’t mean “this is a fact”, it means it has physical form.

The pain you feel is not an object. It’s an experience. Again, that does not translate to “that’s your opinion”. It is real, it simply is not a physical object.

Objective and Subjective are both real. They’re mind and matter, not opinions and facts.

Seems my brain autofilled the concept in, with the post image being confused why someone would consider opposing morals to their own as terrible.

“Moralality is subjective” is a common way to say “Well my morals are different than yours and that’s okay” to justify immoral behavior. With the image being confused about students acknowledging morals being culturally formed, while not entertaining debate on their own morals.

Yes, morals are a subjective thing that only exist with a mind to perceive them.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t right or wrong morals. That doesn’t mean anyone should entertain debate over the morality of whether, say for example, white supremacy is “just an opinion, bro”. There’s nothing confusing about acknowledging that it’s a mindset caused by culture, and also viewing it as a “moral monstrosity”.

… I’m also posting these ramblings half asleep.

The keyword there is experience.

You are a subject. Suffering isn’t an object, it’s a feeling. A concept.

Subjective doesn’t mean “not real”. It’s something that needs a subject to exist. The suffering, just like morals, do exist. They are real, they can be measured, they can be discussed, they have real effects.

What makes them subjective isn’t “well that’s like, just your opinion, man”, it’s the fact that without a subject to experience them, they would cease to exist.

I think I just ate the onion.

The misunderstanding I see here is in the definition of “subjective”.

Subjective is often used interchangeably with opinion. And people can certainly have different opinions.

But the subjective that is meant is that morals don’t exist without a subject, aka a mind to comprehend them.

A rock exists whether or not a mind perceives the rock. The rock is objective. It is a physical object.

The idea that it is wrong to harm someone for being different is subjective. It is an idea. A thought. The thought does not exist without a mind.

So yes. Morals are all subjective. Morals do not exist in the physical world. Morals are not objects, they do not objectively exist. They exist within a subject. Morals subjectively exist.

That does not mean that any set of morals is okay because it’s just an opinion, bro. Because it’s not just an opinion. Those subjective values effect objective reality.

I still think Alaska should just… be a part of Canada? Just geographically speaking. I see that it’s like, literally in Canada. Makes no sense to me for it to be United States territory.

Forget that stupid 51st state thing. How about the US reverses and goes down to 49 states instead?

Disclaimer that I know nothing about (and therefore have no grudges against nor affinity for) Alaska, and I live in the US.

Going to vouch for this game. I’ve been really enjoying it.

Best experienced without spoilers. Don’t even look up the creatures if you can resist.

You are not a hero, you’re are a small animal in a living ecosystem.

She had a golden chance to demand a recount. And chose to roll over and play dead.

I can’t say I’m not disappointed. Because I am.

On days off I do tend to just forget to eat until late afternoon. Shaking only happens when I do that, and goes away after eating. So yes, by that point my sugar is probably terrible.

On days where I know I’ll be doing a lot of physical activity early, I do purposely not eat for that weird ‘haven’t eaten yet’ boost until early-mid afternoon when it wears off.

It’s been a pretty good alternative for me! I can browse on mobile without seeing a single ad.

I knew that new “no upvoting ‘violent’ content thing sounded sus. It reeked of trying to silence support for Luigi.

I wonder how resistant to that Lemmy will be, with the whole federation thing. Harder to ban it when it’s not just one domain.
