You say you can order a list of statements from more to less confident. Say, Moral Principle A is more confident than Moral Principle B. But how do you know that? Why isn’t Moral Principle B more confident than Moral Principle A? I imagine you have some criteria for determining the confidence of moral principles to determine their order, but I don’t know what that criteria is.
Mostly, they’re helpful for locating hypotheses.
I’m still confused, sorry. How do you arrive at a moral principle and how do you know it’s not a moral illusion?
You can’t be certain it’s not a moral illusion, I hope I never implied that.
You’re right; you haven’t. Do you put any probability estimate on whether a certain moral principle is not an illusion? If so, how?
I don’t naturally think in numbers and decline to forcibly attach any. I could probably order a list of statements from more to less confident.
By what basis do you make that ordering?
I’m not sure what you mean by this question.

Someone has taken a dislike to this thread, so I’m going to tap out now.
Thanks for the conversation.
