Morality is Objective

This round is devoted to responding to my opponent's round 3 arguments."If the interaction between the light reflected off of a car and processed by the eyeball of a human results in a pleasant feeling, this is no more subjective than to say that the Law of Gravity mandates that things fall to the earth in normal conditions."While it is true that one person may be inclined to enjoy the color blue more over the color red, that does not make this objective, because it is subject to that one person's view. That person's view may be inborn/biologically hardwired, but that does not change the fact that it is of that person's particular perspective."The statement “blue cars are superior to red cars” is imprecise. It would be much more accurate to say that “blue cars are superior to red cars for x”.."Alright, this is the crux of the analogy. If you add a standard of value, you can reach an objective observation. For example, it is objectively true that retributive moralities will be better at killing more people for their crimes than rehabilitative moralities. So one morality can be better at x, but does that make one morality better because of x? No, because the x is a subjective preference. Retribution or rehabilitation? It is a matter of preference. Retributive moralities are obviously better at securing retribution, while rehabilitative moralities are better at securing rehabilitation. So they each have an x that they're better at, but which is better inherently? Which is better because of x? The answer is neither. Whichever x someone subscribes to is because of their subjective preference towards the x.When someone says the red car is better, their standard is its redness. When someone backs the blue car, it's because of their standard of blueness. Without these standards of values, there is no conclusion, just an observation. And without subjectivity, there is no value. Therefore, the very reasoning behind moralities is subjective. So when my opponent says, "The statement “blue cars are superior to red cars” is imprecise." he is inadvertently admitting that morality is subjective, because that is what objective morality would attempt to do: promote one way of acting as correct, when really, the only standards of judgment are subjective."It would be much more accurate to say that “blue cars are superior to red cars for x”, where x is a valuer, which is an undebatable point."I didn't include this in the above analysis because I figured it'd get in the way of the real important stuff. The idea that something is 'valuer' (I'm assuming he means one value being superior to another) was not at all supported by my opponent. The insinuation that something can be valuer is there, sure. But there is not actual reasoning given for why it could be. If we look at values, it's hard to see how one could be objectively better than the other, because any points made in favor of one over the other is simply using the preference for the value being advocated. This gets back to red versus blue. If someone is really bent on proving red is better than blue, what can they really do? "Oh, the redness is just so much more red, can't you see that?" It's like honor killing. On one hand you've got people who say the value of honor has been violated, and so we must kill this person. On the other, you've got people who say that honor is less important than the person's life. How will either side prove they are 'valuer'? "Honor is the basis for all morality!" vs "No, protection of innocents is the primary basis for morality!" Two different subjective standards, trying to prove the other wrong with their own standard. No real conclusion will come of it, and there is no evidence that one will show the other they're 'valuer', and therefore there is no reason for us to believe that one value can be greater than another."If morality necessarily rests on reason, and if it is unreasonable to assume that two contradictory views are both right (2 + 2 cannot equal both 4 and 20 at the same time), then one side must be objectively right (since reason has no place for subjective whims)."The key to that is: if morality rests on reason. As I have shown in the previous paragraphs and in previous rounds, it does not. It rests on subjective standards (e.g. retribution vs rehabilitation/blueness vs redness/honor killing vs no, just no). I would also like to note that it is not a help to my opponent that he does not tell us which of the two said contradictory views is right. He merely says that reason necessitates that one of the two be right, however, he does not use that reason to figure out which is right. It is something of an appeal to the unknown. He says that reason will provide an answer, but cannot tell us what the answer is. If he can't show us the answer, how can he prove* that logic is giving us one?Well that's all for me. Bossy, thanks for the good debate. It certainly stretched my mind out a ton.Not to be a broken record, but, voters: if you're not sure if logic is the basis for morality, or if subjective values are, based on BoP requirements*, you're supposed to vote for me.Thanks for reading. Happy voting.
