  • Morality is an objective reality, that can, in theory, be compared between any two options and there would always be an objective answer which of the options are better or worse or the same.

    Whatever standard you used to compare two moral systems would itself be based on the values of the judge.

    Even asking “which leads to less suffering” is a subjective value, placing suffering as the most important aspect.

    You just think there is no objective reason to follow those options which are morally better, but that’s a different question.

    Just the opposite. I believe people have their own reasons for following one system over the other.

    One system can be more useful to a society, and they will have cause to maintain that ethical system.











  • You don’t need to be able to observe it externally to distinguish it. For example i can say I have a conscious experience and that would be objectively true even though we have a pretty minimal understanding on what that really is or how to measure it.

    Consciousness can be observed an measured. There are machines that can tell if someone is conscious, and even reach conclusions about what that person is thinking about based on brain activity.
