  • That’s the next step. Once we agree that someone is right and someone is wrong, then we can start talking about the definition of “moral good”. And that is a very difficult and complicated discussion. But just because it’s hard to define doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not real.


  • Muslims say that music is Haram because it is said so in Hadith, does that make music objectively wrong?

    That is the exact opposite of what the above comment said. An objective view of morality would say that the “rightness” or “wrongness” of the act of making music is an objective truth. If music is “right”, then music is right, regardless of what Muslims or any other people say, and vice versa.

    It means you can’t come to a correct moral judgement just by taking a poll of the people around you.


  • I havent seen that episode, but it is kind of an issue how whenever you try to put a bunch of poor/homeless people together, others start to avoid that area and jobs/services become scarce.

    I like the idea of “mixed income housing”. Apartment buildings with a mix of free, cheap, and regular priced units. The standard units would probably be valued a bit lower than the normal market price, giving mid-income people an incentive to live there, and the homeless people who move in get to be part of a normal-ish community.

    100 homeless people stuck in one place can cause a lot of chaos, but a small small group here and there seems a lot more manageable.
