@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 -
@lmldias They are the same arguments. -
@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.) -
@CliftonsNotes nice of you to insult someone you dont know -
@lmldias I say it with affection. :) -
@CliftonsNotes duly noted, jackass.

@SamHarrisOrg Because of what we *mean* by "A", ">", etc. Do you believe that semantics are somehow reducible to intuitions, or vise versa? - 1 more reply
