sucks to be you anon
my grandpa is pretty based
were both the same brand of turbo autism so i can have hours long debates regarding philosophy, religion and physics with him
we probably butcher about 98% of what were saying but its all just baseless casual conjecture anyway so i find it very fun
its also funny because he gets so fucking heated whenever i counter him on a point

>the most important election of your fucking lives and if trump wins a second term, democracy in this country will be over
Im not american, but could you, or someone else, please explain to me why are people saying that its going to be the "last stand" of democracy? I mean elections are still going to happen even if he wins a second time, right?
From my prespective the first Trump election that started the whole charade seemed to be more important than this second one, since none of this would've happened to begin with.

>Reality is finite, morals are based off subjectivized reality, and therefore there is a limited roster of legitimate moral landscapes. While you may subjectivize in many different ways, the input remains the same, limiting the variety.
Tbh, this is a very interesting topic. Do you know where i can read more about this?

My best take would be that while reality is finite, we can fit an infinite number of diferent ways to precieve it. The same way a person takes drugs to alter his prespective of reality because of chemical balances in the brian, eating ,as an example, only nuggets for a day will also impact the way your brain works and thus the way it percieves reality, of course its something minimal that we may not notice, but its there. Following the logic that morals are based off subjectivized reality and proving that we can percieve reality in a infinite number of ways, then we can also fit an infinite amount of morals.
You can theoretically find infnity inside the finite. A similar example to the one of the morals would be, despite the interval [1;2] being finite, we can still find an infite amount of numbers inside it.
Maybe this might not make all sence since this is pretty much a topic that i have no experience on, but if you know any books, or articles talking about this i would be very glad to know.
