      @SamHarrisOrg says the one who still thinks "well being" is a scientifically definable word...

      @lmldias Are "depression," "anxiety," "joy," "suspicion," "envy," "remorse," etc. scientifically definable?

      @SamHarrisOrg is this a trick question or an admission that health still operates with subjective intuitions?

      @lmldias I think you'll find that your own, honest answer to @SamHarrisOrg's question will be instructive.

      @CliftonsNotes @lmldias Speaking of intuitions -- what about the intuitions of logic and mathematics -- "scientifically definable" or not?

          @SamHarrisOrg But those aren't "intuitions" so much as definitional truths. Not really as analogous to morality or medicine. (Or is it?)

          @CliftonsNotes logic/math depends entirely on intuitions -- e.g. How do you know that if A > B, and B > C, then A > C?

          @SamHarrisOrg @CliftonsNotes logic is deduced from simple axioms and first principles. All this relativist talk almost makes me absolutist

          @lmldias @CliftonsNotes Relativist? The whole point of The Moral Landscape was to argue against relativism.

          @SamHarrisOrg the best point in ML is the argument against is-ought, the worst is the project of scienticizing morality

          @SamHarrisOrg (Please know that I am not endorsing @lmldias by questioning you about logic/math vis-a-vis intuition. He or she is an idiot.)

          @SamHarrisOrg @CliftonsNotes @lmldias "Well being" can also be measured. Or one can stick ones head in the sand and pretend not.

          @AtlanticCanuck @SamHarrisOrg @CliftonsNotes The very idea that you can measure "well being" itself is ridiculous.

          @AtlanticCanuck of course it is my opinion. Whose else would it be? Is your assertion that well being is measurable not your opinion?
