Outside of politics, have you ever had a position on something that you have doubled down on and refused to move an inch on to the point of upsetting someone? Were you right? (reddthat.com)

So when you say "I believe in objective morality", you mean that you believe morality should be objective, not that it is objective. I'm inclined to agree because that would certainly simplify life a lot, but unfortunately, you can't just make morality objective any more than you can make gravity not exist. It is what it is, and we have to figure out a way to work with what we have.

No, I believe that it is and it should be understood that way. But yes, I'm glad we at least see eye to eye in how it would simplify life, haha. 👍
