    A nice video by Kane Baker on an influential argument against moral realism. The idea is that if there's true moral properties out there in the world, that's kinda weird.

    I’m sorry, but I couldn’t deal with the video. It’s harder for me to take in philosophy when I am told it than it is for me to read about it, and an hour is too long for me to concentrate -...

    I’m sorry, but I couldn’t deal with the video. It’s harder for me to take in philosophy when I am told it than it is for me to read about it, and an hour is too long for me to concentrate - especially when cut by YouTube ads.

    Interestingly enough I just started taking an ethics class and the first lesson was about moral relativism and realism. There was a required discussion forum that had us take a stand on one of them and I chose to stand on moral relativism on the grounds of moral anti-realism. I didnt use Mackie in my arguments though. Instead I relied on what the definition of a moral was and went from there. Maybe I’m a philosophical sham? 😅

      I usually listen to those while I'm cooking, I find Kane to be super clear while still being rigorous, although he's quite dry and some of his videos are maybe more his personal opinions.
