| Some things are more subjective than others. Reasonable people will agree that poverty is bad. Depending on the axioms you have defined for yourself. There is statistical evidence for poverty causing health problems or people to die early on average. Infant mortality rates among poor households or kids with malnutrition. You could always think of unexpected death as unreasonable or objectively bad. By that line of thinking, you can conclude that poverty must be objectively bad. Anything that can result in unexpected death afterwards is objectively bad. No matter what you end up with, you still need a fundamental axiom or moral position, I believe. Like why is 3 greater than 2?
Because I attach a greater position value to 3 but what makes this objective really? Most people agreeing with it? Can most people agree that this world needs less unexpected deaths? Yes. Does stopping the number of people born reduce that? Yes. Should you stop the demography with highest infant/kid mortality rate first? Yes. What's so subjective about it now? Unless you believe that unexpected deaths are a great thing, in that case I think you are fucked up. |
