See, the problem with this image is that rather than make any arguments, it relies on the knee-jerk disgust of the audience, which works right up until the audience no longer shares your values.

>>18420992
Philosophers are morons.

Philosophers are midwits. Every. Single. One.

i can't tell if you're for or against moral philosophy.

but also -
>""disgust" , i.e. an emotion of unacceptability in the audience. "
there''s a difference between not liking cocks and balls and not liking murder.

>"then you'll just change your axioms"
yes that is the point of philosophy.

prove it , you dumb bastard.

>>"then [as a result of feeling disgust] you'll just change your axioms"
>yes that is the point of philosophy.
So you're admitting that "moral philosophy" relies on disgust.
which makes the criticism by >>18421514 of >>18421008's point valid. 18421008 is being a hypocrite.
>>
>>18420992
How do we understand morality? From a fucking book? What do you do when two people read the book and have different interpretations?
>>
>>18421514
Maybe if you stick to pure philosophy. If you look towards any other field of science morality generally corresponds to physical realities. Not in every case, but in most cases it does. For example, why is cannibalism a moral wrong? Because it might give you a prion disease. It also just so happens to have been considered amoral by most of humanity for millennia prior to this discovery. Woah!
