what?

>that feel when you write in turn in an awesome, expertly-written essay and you get a bad grade on it
>that feel when you write in turn in
i think your definition of expertly-written is very different than everyone else's

>>1699459
Yeah, because I'd sage my own thread. I think you're envious of my C. Your assumptions probably got you failures. :(

In high school I spent days writing an essay advocating moral realism (we were allowed any topic). The teacher handed it back and advised me to write about my favourite season instead. 30 minutes of 'work' later and I and got top marks for pointing out that winter is pretty.

That teacher also made us read Ayn Rand.

HAHAHA....

High School is too easy.

Ditto but for college, four hours instead of two, an A+ rather than an A, and hundreds of dollars for submitting it to a writing contest afterward and getting first place. It's now getting published.

I'm also going to a pretty damn good school.

Post the paper with your teacher's marks on it.

I'm no longer certain how to resolve certain questions on the nature of morality, but I still believe that moral disagreements are only due to mental illness (e.g., psychopathy) or ignorance/incomprehension of objective reality (e.g., dehumanization/lack of acknowledgment of others' suffering). Morality is universal and innate and as objective as any other "perception", all of which are subject to some degree of variation.

fucking professors writing all over my shit making me think i did poorly

fab you do realise anti-realism is just self sedation if it does not lead back to a reflection of the real in more productive ways right.

>>1699648
you, of all people, should realize that moral realism is anti-realism

> write good paper
> get bad mark

>write shitty paper
> get good mark

>>1699665
??
What's the point?
Moral realism is a fucking good example of realism that
>leads back to a reflection of the real in more productive ways

>>1699665
well, if you want to take that line, then just say there is no need for certain kinds of metaethical justifications. that's fine

>>1699688
>realism
meant anti-realism

>>1699688
my point was that it isn't realism

although it may be productive

>>1699689
has there ever?

>>1699720
>has there ever?
yes, in communication and such guided thinking activities

perhaps you didn't reinforce the idea of the story and it's moral being subjective.

but a good examiner should be always aware of this.

>>1699724
communications are external

justification would be redundant

>>1699813
wat
>_>

>>1699831
uhm

externalism and semantics

they're...

related i think

>>1699836
dont speak jargon to me tell me what you really feel

>>1699905
decided language is provided by our environments

nature and nurture are truly the same

>>1699913
your next post is determined by environment and culture.

>>1699916
yeah that's what i'm saying

(is that a pun?)

>>1699921
it's not a pun silly. it's a comment about the indeterminacy of "next post"

>>1699929
ack. forget it. wait until my book is out that dispels all of this crap by way of information theory.

>>1699933
i guess i'll have to, girlie
