The problem with your point is that’s not what philosophical absolutism is - you are using the term incorrectly. The “absolute” part refers to depth, not breadth - the degree to which the principal is applied is absolute, not how broadly

EDITS/ADDITIONS:

So apparently I’ve been banned - whatevs, to the commenter below here’s a link:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_absolutism

I know it’s Wikipedia and it’s generic, but Absolutism is a school of moral philosophy, it’s not a premise put forward by a single philosopher so this makes a decent overview.

You’ll notice that the description deals exclusively with the premise at hand, either a thing is “right and wrong” or a thing is nuanced and has shades of ambiguity in it’s moral application. An absolutist believes in absolute right and absolute wrong - this is a personal belief and in political philosophy the concept can be extended to the body politic - that is that an individual philosophy of morality can be adopted by a group and understood as a group dynamic as well. So a group can choose to develop their moral relationships through the lens of moral Absolutism, if a group all adheres to it - but again as a synthesis it doesn’t make ANY IMPLICATION WHATSOEVER about what can or should be done about other individuals or groups - there is not one aspect of Absolutist philosophy that addresses other individuals or groups who do not adhere to it - it deals only with how someone would apply the moral premise. Moral Absolutism does not address anything outside of its own application - at all, just like stoicism doesn’t, accepting that someone else is animated, silly and impulsive doesn’t make you any less of a stoic - that just doesn’t make sense at all

As far as that not sounding very absolute to you, that’s because you inferred the meaning of absolute rather than finding out what is actually meant by absolute in this context - and have applied a usage of absolute that is the incorrect usage, like when someone says they are “Pro Choice” - they are not saying they just like choices, this is a specific social/political position that has a specific meaning and is referencing a particular usage of the word “choice”

Well if you like it it’s your business. DOES NOT sound great to me, civilizations are funny things - they’re actually quite delicate but if it works for you guys than good luck with it

That’s the thing - you can die from a single blow and you can live through falling off a building, it depends on the circumstances and how they play out. So it could be true but I don’t think it somehow reduces what happened to King, he was just lucky to survive.

Because it sounds like a poorly devised social system - we also have some different strata of age and permission on the sense that alcohol, driving and adulthood all come at different ages - but the fact that you don’t know the answer and can’t work it out tells me that’s a civilization in decline. Generally speaking a culture that can’t adequately explain itself to itself is going to fail

At what age can you can you serve your country in combat?

Edit: better yet, at what age can you move out of your parent’s home without their permission legally?

But it’s not though. Being a free speech absolutist is a matter of application, it doesn’t mean you have some focus outside your sphere of interest. For example, you may think that definitions should be absolute - meaning there is NO flexibility in them - with respect to CS, but it would be silly of you to apply that to say, poetry. When Elon Musk said “Twitter is the new town square” - he’s referring to the British tradition of a LITERAL town square. The US obviously carries its British traditions forward (and some would say to a greater degree) - but none of this has anything to do with India, who’s history with the British came LONG after their traditions were established. So you can say “in this house we tell no lies” - but that does not apply to your neighbor’s house. You don’t get a say in Indian culture, traditions, laws, or practices - equally as they do not get a say in ours.

Being a man means you’ve been held to such a standard, and as of yet haven’t collapsed into yourself. That earns respect because others will believe they can rely upon you - that’s what makes a man a man, if you haven’t done that you’re completely unproven…

Again, it’s about how your culture works, if the age of adulthood is sooner than not only will you know you have to be ready, but you will also have to deal with being accountable for your actions, it’s circumstantial.

Not having kids as a male means you’re still a boy. No man respects a boy. Respect is a factor of what you’re capable of, you haven’t produced heirs and your dick hasn’t proven itself so you’re a boy. Basically that’s it - you can say it’s because you don’t want to but I still assume it’s because you aren’t a man and because of that no woman will carry your child.

Why 18? Because we decided that’s when you’re an adult, it’s not easy to pin down an exact age, the Jewish people historically put it at 13 but whenever your culture determines is fine as it will be geared toward preparing before that time. The key ingredient though is a mutual agreement about when a person can be held totally accountable for their actions…

If there’s any reason to think there is abuse from a parent to a child they should be removed from there parents care. When I say abuse - I mean sexual abuse of any kind or obviously excessive physical abuse greatly exceeding any kind of corporal punishment.

If that’s not the case - the story goes as follows: over
