I've repeated this over and over again and haven't shown any rebuttals or pointed a fault in my reasoning. Don't lie about how I've been avoiding the subject about subjectivity.
You have literally shown nothing, Waar. Literally Nothing. You can't keep crying that the burden of proof is on me when I already gave a reasoning you've yet to refute. The ball has been in your court for a while now and you're doing nothing and claiming yourself to be some victor of an "argument"(lol).
So I'll say this again, don't waste my time unless you're going to actually say something of substance.
Rebuttal to what though? You've only posted personal opinion. You challenged my assertion and then didn't provide any proof of reasoning.
Do you want a rebuttal for your opinion? Alright. I don't agree cruz. Lemme know if you come up with something more valid and ill take a crack at it.
I'm not claiming to be a victor yet, we haven't even started an argument.
edit: p.s. reality is not subjective, nor is it based on perception. I can believe something based on what I've perceived but that doesn't mean it's reality. If a tree fell in the woods and no one was around to hear it did it make a sound, it certainly did because the tree has mass and gravity would create a sound with that mass, did the tree even fall? of course, perception is subjective, reality is not.
Rebuttal to my reasoning, if
logic isn't objective, then prove it. If you disagree then prove my assertion wrong.
If you're going to agree perception is subjective, then so is logic. Since logic is dependent on perception and reasoning is too since:
"Strict principles of validity" is a criterion that is also subjective, as "validity" is subject to proofs that may or may not be disproved and are often disputed.
If a tree that you don't see nor know exist where to theoretically fall in some woods somewhere then you can reason that it will make sound. Your reasoning may be logical since it's based on a set of well established principles, but it's not objective. Again, see above quote. Commonly accepted statements and reasoning are still based on empirical data collection and reasoning. In terms of mathematical logic and reasoning, you're saying p then P.
I know your original statement was on killing and how justifying it is some flimsy attempt to absolve guilt, but since we both know it's opinion/presumption built statement based on personal beliefs, the cultural sphere you're in and a few factors you probably haven't questioned yourself, I'm not going to bother with it. And yes I know that was your point and we've gone far, far away from it.
But you did say Logic was objective. And you haven't proven it is, don't feel bad though, even questioning your own perspective is still not free from influence of your own perspective. If logic is based on perception, something you acknowledge as subjective, then how can you claim logic is objective?
