Survival doesn't make anyon...@swaggerswaggmann<br /><br />Survival doesn't make anyone properly adorable. The point of the argument, in short, is that moral realism is true (we know this as much as we know the physical world exists), and this is incompatible with naturalism. There is no "poison" here any more than there is poison in any argument you use against a Cartesian skeptic (by the way, do you use any arguments? by your standards, you should just keep quiet).Caiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165251611699750001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891434218564545511.post-80615815260375786572021-09-10T09:10:59.152-05:002021-09-10T09:10:59.152-05:00Ian:
