Ahh so onin, you think you know more about morality than the thousands of philosphers who study it everyday?


How does that work?

That's an appeal to authority, not an appeal to science. More proof you are actually a religious thinker and don't realize it.

How do you come to decide the inherent value of human life, yuki?

Isn't that the point? However you do it it isn't based on science.


I choose to believe human life has inherent value because I consider my own life to be inherently valuable and I see no reason there's anything special about me. But I don't labor under any delusion that my judgment is verifiable scientifically. I can verify that other people think their lives are valuable but that doesn't tell me they're right.

Philosophy created science, yuki. Seriously, you can't be that stupid.

Philosophy doesn't operate through verifiable hypotheses.


But I changed my comment because I thought it was funnier to skewer you for using an appeal to authority given your pretentious lecture about sources of knowledge.

He has made many rather pathetic logical fallacies in this thread. He is clearly trolling with stupid and thinks he is clever.
