Ethical intuitionism because only a complete fucking buffoon has to be told murder is wrong. Unless you’re trying to defend yourself or others or if you want to kill an animal for its meat, I don’t see why anyone should have to tell someone “hey it’s not polite just to stab your next door neighbor just because he wants to crank Bon Jovi at 3 am

>>21744239
This intuition has historically only been regarding one’s ingroup though

>>21744245
Yeah and why is that a bad thing? No liberal answers please

>>21744127
Kek did you just discover metaethics? You write like a fag who just stumbled on the Wiki

>murder is le wrong
>except whenever I want or deem it necessary

>>21744435
exactly. thats why I'm also an egoist too.

I wouldn’t stab him but he might find a Molotov cocktail hurled through his living room window. What’s my alignment?

>>21744239
Wanted to add I also follow pragmatic ethics as well

>>21744522
Uh, probably just a form of moral nihilism then

>>21744127
I am a clown-pilled absurdist.

To me it seems more like pragmatism: I don’t want to get blood on my clothes or go to prison but I want him to stop being a nuisance, ideally for as long as possible preferably without killing him or even injuring him if at all possible, but also punish him for being inconsiderate. I’d call a fire truck for him once the flames were visible. As his neighbour I doubt this would raise any suspicion. Is this consistent with your original assessment?

What is metaethics? Give me an example.

>>21744980
It's the field that studies the nature of ethics. It deals with questions like if morality is objective or subjective, if moral statements are truth-apt, what the requirements are for a moral statement to be true or false, what the foundation is that these statements are built on etc.

Like the statement "killing is wrong" can be see as objectively true from one metaethical position, perhaps even divinely so, whereas another position might just see it as a subjective expression like whether vanilla icecream is delicious or not.

Metaethics is a branch of philosophy that investigates the nature of moral concepts, language, and reasoning. It deals with questions about the meaning and reference of moral terms such as "good," "bad," "right," and "wrong," and explores the foundations of moral claims and judgments.

Metaethics is concerned with questions such as:

What is the meaning of moral statements?
Are moral statements objective or subjective?
What is the relationship between moral claims and facts about the world?
What is the nature of moral values and obligations?
Can moral claims be justified, and if so, how?
Are there any moral truths that are independent of human beliefs and attitudes?
Metaethics is distinct from normative ethics, which focuses on the substantive moral questions such as which actions are right or wrong, and from applied ethics, which addresses specific ethical issues such as medical ethics or environmental ethics.

Aesthetic is the defining aspect of morality. If its pretty and pleasing to the soul then it is good, if it is not than its bad. Simple as.

>>21746404
that's a normative position not a meta one

why is the beautiful good?

>>21746413
Because beauty not being good is a spook

Ethos is the intellect/character/soul and it is either led by Pathos or Logos; if led by Pathos (emotionalism) it is extremely evil and extremely stupid. Logos is less so an extreme good and moreso the conscious action of self-control and informed correct decision. Ethos (as a concept) is derived from Ethnos (ethnic culture), Ethnos is therefore Pathos until it is remedied by Logos, and as Ethnos refuses the remedy Ethnos is the body of the mind of Pathos and ought be completely slaughtered.
