Noone should care about “possibilities”, for a Bayesian nothing is zero. You could say self-refuting / self-contradictory beliefs have an actual zero percent probability, but not even that is actually true: You need to account for the fact that you can’t ever be wholly (to an infinite amount of 9s in your prior of 0.9...) certain about the self-contradiction actually being one. There could be a world with a demon misleading you, e.g.
That being said, the idea of some One True Ethics is as self-refuting as it gets, there is no view from nowhere,
What is a “view”? Why is it needed for objective ethics? Why isnt it a Universal Solvent? Is there no objective basis to mathematics.
and whatever axioms those True Ethics are based upon would themselves be up for debate.
So its probability would be less than 1.0. That doesn’t mean its probability is barely above 0.0.
The discussion of whether a circle can also be a square, possibly, can be answered with “it’s a possibility, since I may be mistaken about the actual definitions”,
But the argument you have given does not depend on evident self-contradiction. It depends on an unspecified entity called a “view”.
But with neither answer would “it is a possibility, ergo I believe in it” follow.
So? For the fourth time, I was only saying that moral realism isn’t obviously false.
