Yes, no matter how well they performed on the rest of the questions. I trust they will not object to this. Surely they would support the claim that nothing is objectively unfair or wrong. In the spirit of open debate: any moral subjectivist who can provide me with a coherent moral subjectivist argument against the validity of my grading choices, will have their grade corrected and automatically pass my course"

everything that is subject to selection pressure can be considered to live

moral subjectivism, as I understand it, is less an abdication of judgment than a bargaining chip with the larger entities that determine human progress- "there are other worlds than these", and if you try straight-up murdering us, your constituents, well, don't think there aren't other places we can't go

I think the answer here is that moral subjectivism is correct, but not useful. So yeah, there is no such thing as an objective truth and if the professor thinks you shouldn't pass the exam he's probably right; however, as a whole, choosing a better selection procedure would be beneficial to everybody.

Heheh, I remember pulling a stunt like this , if I recall, the winning entrie said something like,
"as a first principle, I invoke the Heideggerian notion of time-as-experience, thus replacing your 'objective' concept of time-as-physical constant. secondly, and more importantly, I offer you my neatly-shorn testicles to bestow your kisses upon. thank you"
wew, what a day that was, heheh.

This is some God's not Dead level shit.
That's not how academia works and that's not what moral subjectivism means since a grade isn't a morality issue. In any case he should had called a couple of friends, dressed them up as cops, and got them in a fake jail until they defend their position... and that would be a kick ass exam.

>> No.12369585

there's no objective reason to make the choice he did. while there is an subjective reason to do it by flexing his muscle and showing he's the one who has power and can dominate them what's the point? if he follows subjective morality then he should try and do things which benefit him. failing all those students doesn't help him except in the circumstance that he wants to try and terrorize people who understand the truth into believing his demented views and he's using his authority to do so. if that's the case then the professor isn't attending his class and you should change to somebody else. if he wants somebody to demonstrate how subjective morality always people to cooperate by demonstrating their value then you can do so by making similar arguments to this and he should pass you. if he really doesn't then you should just debate his moral objectivity and demolish him and his tiny ego before switching class.

This is retarded and didn’t happen. There’s a difference between ethics and the concrete grading standards of a university. Being a professor means you must submit to the faculty rules and I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t be allowed. The teacher (if this happened, which I’m sure it probably didn’t) is genuinely retarded and asshurt that objective morality had been BTFOed constantly through the years
