    You’re right, none of us know anything. We can presume no facts, nor make even the most salient observations. All social science is false, and nihilists like you are right about everything.

      Individuals can, “collectives” cannot.

      All social science is false

      A lot of it

      nihilists like you are right about everything.

      I am not a nihilist.

            Ex Falso Quodlibet. Your moral reasoning is inconsistent, which means that you’re either a nihilist or an idiot. I thought I’d give you the benefit of the doubt.

              Your moral reasoning is inconsistent

              It may be, but not for the reason you claimed. I do not care about the lives of most animals, such as chickens, etc. Do you care about the lives of animals? Is it okay to kill them? What about torture them?

              From my belief framework I suspect I could find inconsistencies in your morality, but I don’t really see the point in trying to force squeeze your moral views through my belief framework- because I suspect your morality informs your beliefs and vice-versa- just as my own.

                  That is called psychopathy and you should seek clinical intervention.

                  Do you care about the lives of sardines? Is a chicken much different? How is that not arbitrary?
