David Gordon recommends the following book for those interested in discovering the objective moral validity of natural law, on Aristotelian terms. Rasmussen & Den Uyl - Liberty and Nature. It’s very good.

I think he speaks so slowly so that those of us with average intellects can follow. Or at least have a better chance at following.

[@christianponicki9581]

@@superhoga No, he's speaking at normal speed, but the sheer power of his IQ bends the space-time around his mouth and makes his words sound slower.

[@kamilziemian995]

Very interesting talk.

[@JonathanSchattke]

the speaker and audience demonstrate their preference for being in the lecture hall over being at an ice cream parlor by their action of being there without coercion.

What ought -we- I do? Risk analysis obviates moral absolutism. For example, self defense is proof enough that murder is wrong (wrong enough to make a decision). The only time these collective absolutes need to be constructed is in the context of already having made the decision to enslave, or threaten murder of others.

[@superhoga]

So your decision whether to murder or not murder comes down to whether or not you judge that you can get away with it?

[@superhoga]

Then I'm in good company with Gee Willickers.
