@sapinker @nybooks failure of measured language sure sign of a thinker rattled. @tamsinshaw piece is by no measure "absurd"

@sapinker@nybooks@tamsinshaw "automatic and ancient circuits of the emotional brain" ? Science or scientistic gobbledygook?

What's the evidence for "moral diversity…across cultures"? Evidence suggests they're tiny

@sapinker This is painful to read, on both sides. Lip service paid to ethics in a chapter doesn't temper normative claims throughout.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@bowmanthebard ¬(¬p^p) is a T proposition where p is a moral proposition@sapinker@nybooks -
@Schroedinger99 It would be if there were moral propositions such as p in the first place, but there aren't!@sapinker@nybooks -
@Schroedinger99 A moral "ought" is just an expression of desire for how we'd like everyone to behave—neither true nor false.@sapinker -
@bowmanthebard True. But that doesn't mean that truth & falsity have no relevance to moral discourse (see my eg)@sapinker -
@Schroedinger99 Truth & falsity are relevant, but philosophers need to get real, keep it simple, & admit "oughts" aren't T or F.@sapinker -
@bowmanthebard Many props we might try to construct re QM aren't T or F either but we can still say lots of T & F things in QM.@sapinker -
@Schroedinger99 That strikes me as different—more use of a formalism that we struggle to interpret. Morality much more straightforward. - 3 more replies
