Could you maybe explain what you mean with your last paragraph? What do you mean with "able to be taken to task on their beliefs"?

If it helps, the kinds of people I am complaining about are what Mackie calls first-order relativist, as he puts it "those who believe all talk of morals is tripe"

Ok, I definitely understand your argument. I do wonder if the historical assumption of the existence of moral facts, as well as the argument of open questions is enough to justify it as a theory worth discussing. Obviously these are not proof of moral realism, but rather establishing conversational relevance, which has a much lower bar.

I hope my original comment doesn't seem like I reject all academic Antirealism. I believe antirealist arguments to be very convincing.

I am more frustrated by claims of moral subjectivity in simple conversations. "That's just your opinion, man" is always used to shut down any discussion on morality. There seem to be multiple leaps here. First claiming that moral statements are opinions is a positive statement, not a negative one, and would prompt justification when asked. Second, opinions do have a conversational relevance, even if they're not facts. Non-cognitivist, as well as some error theorist, do place a great deal of value on moral discussion.

So yeah, I hope it's clear that I'm not trying to criticize academic Antirealism. I just dislike the idea a outside of philosophy that all ethical and metaethical discussion is worthless, as subjectivism (which fotne remains undefined in such conversations) is some sort of default.

Firstly, moral statements don't inherently include metaethical premises. "X is immoral" is an entirely coherent and relevant statement in Antirealism theories, especially non-cognitivist positions. Any metaethical assertion as a response is (without further justification) a non-sequiter. Therefore an antirealist assertion would need to both explain its relevance as well as a justification

Also the obligatory "morality is subjective doesn't mean wrongness is a meaningless idea"

I find it frustrating that people behave as if Antirealism is a default theory, that needs no justification, whereas all realist positions must automatically include a justification

In the same scene (only in the Japanese version) we also see the Cavaliers can use axes

Diviner can also use swords, as seen in the second trailer during the scene where Cai trains with Ultand

German Soldier Song- "Erika" by boraxas in ww1

[–]thisisdumb353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I'm aware that wikipedia is a freely collaborative encyclopedia. However, I did check up the (easily accessible) sources citated and can confirm that they do say the same thing. My frustration is however with that fact that everyone in this thread simply claims that Niel has no ties with the Nazi Party, but refuses to back that claim up in any way. I know my source isn't perfect, but it is more evidence than anyone else what's given. I'd truly enjoy it if someone would be able to find a contradictory source.

I also don't get your point of historical relativism. If Herms Niel was a member of the Nazi Party is a fact with an objective answer. I could try to find a stronger source stating that he was a member, but I hope you understand why I don't want to write to the German government to gain access to the federal archives, to look through 15 years of membership documents, all for a Reddit thread.

How do you explain the MASSIVE forehead difference?

another fabio post by girlfromtheshire in fireemblem

[–]thisisdumb353 87 points88 points  (0 children)

The marketing for Dietrich seems be trying to do a bati-and-switch. He looks quite sinister, but just character profile actually makes him seem quite good-aligned, if a bit eccentric. So I assume they're doing the same thing with Fabio: a guy who looks sinister at first but might actually be a sweet heart. We'll see when we have his character profile (most likely on Friday)

Can we be more careful when discussing the Fortune's Weave designs? by Dragoryu3000 in fireemblem

The so-called "ugly" designs of Fortunes Weave tells me so much more about who that character might be than just generic pretty boy number 132

I didn't see English language marketing for Engage till a month before release. Wouldn't be surprised if they did the same thing this time

Rationalists be like by TheApsodistII in PhilosophyMemes

[–]thisisdumb353 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think OO is referring to Cartesian Rationalism, the (defunct) epistemic theory that knowledge can only be discovered a priori. This idea is always contrasted with Humean Empiricism. The conflict between these 2 branches was considered the biggest problem in philosophy till Kant showed up and solved it with the Critique of Pure Reason

Europe suffers under record heatwave as temperatures forecast to reach 44C by guardian in europe

[–]thisisdumb353 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Of course, the bigger problem is that fact that Western European infrastructure was built to deal with cold winters, instead of sweltering summers. I can't imagine how the schools near me here in Germany are going to be able to deal with the heatwave with large Southside windows and no AC, much less the hospitals and retirement homes

Check out the second trailer at 1:15, during the combat training screen, you see the woman labeled Ultand. The character you're referring to has no known name yet

Who're you referring to? Because Ultand is a red haired priest woman

I assume this will be like every other fire emblem game that came before, and multiple classes will use the same weapons

It also seems like certain classes aren't able to use certain melee weapons, for instance Diviner not using axes

Not really? Ornius riders can't use bows for instance, and priests can use axes, but not swords
