    This is a bit meta, but I believe morality is objective. Actions have objective moral worth; epistemological disagreements about how we know the moral value of an action are irrelevant to the objectivity of goodness/badness itself.

      I agree that some things can be objectively immoral, but I think there’s a lot of grey/subjective areas too.

      Is it objectively immoral to not spend 100% of your free time helping others?

      What about choosing to have kids instead of adopting?

      Turning someone’s life support machine off after they’ve been declared braindead?

      Killing a serial killer in an act of self defense?

      Don’t just tease me like this, what’s the objective standard? And like I’m totally following along, but i still want to know what the disagreements are.

      I just like ethics and want to hear what you think.

      Can you talk me through the experiment setup to measure or observe that morality? I’d like to confirm it.
