Until Jan 20, US civil servants worked acc/to a different moral code. Federal workers were under instructions to respect the rule of #law, venerate the #Constitution, maintain political #neutrality, & uphold lawful policy changes whether they come from Republican or Democratic admins. They were supposed to measure #objective #reality—evidence of pollution, for example—& respond accordingly. Not all of them were good administrators or moral people, but damage that any one …could do was limited….

Caller Uses #JEFFREYDAHMER to Defend #God's #Morality?? (It Doesn't Go Well)

youtube.com/watch?v=LPeKqjnkmbs

Caller Bertson engages Matt and Seth in a discussion about the foundations of morality. Bertson argues that without God, there can be no #objective basis for declaring actions wrong, repeatedly using Jeffrey #Dahmer as an example. Matt explains how #societies establish #moral frameworks based on #harmreduction and protection of individual #autonomy, independent of #divine command.

The funny thing about social constructs is that they bring two distinct meanings of the (extremely problematic) term "objective" into direct conflict.

Specifically, the meaning of 'objective' that is "existing intrinsically, plainly detectable, clearly segmentable from its immediate environs, etc. etc." and the meaning of 'objective' that is "agreed upon by all members of a group, etc. etc."

What makes a social construct a construct is that it has no physical particulars, is not plainly detectable, cannot be clearly segmented away from its immediate environs (if it can even be said to have immediate environs), i.e. it is not an 'objectively existing entity', and in fact it's entire existence consists of the 'objective' agreement or objectively held belief that it exists.

So, that's what humans are like, if you were wondering why things are shit.

Humans are all about those 'objectively' non-existing 'objective' existences.

Ugh.

p.s. in case you were wondering, both those senses of 'objective' are pretty much bollocks.

Do I know anyone familiar with #Objective-C modules and #Swift to help us figure out a solution for this?

Swift Forums · Unable to resolve modules from a transitive static XCFrameworkHi, I'm running into issues compiling my project in Xcode and seeking some help. Let's assume the following dependency graph: iOS App > Dynamic iOS framework > Static XCFramework with Obj-C module map and headers If I transform that graph into the following by generating an XCFramework off the dynamic framework: iOS App > Dynamic XCFramework The app doesn't understandably compile because it can't find the transitive module. This is solvable by using @_implementationOnly import, but in ...

Another silly comparison is oh no I can’t start because I will ‘fail’. Failure is subjective and can be adjusted. If i just instead think this will do for this iteration. Problem solved. A sprint at a time. Helped me enough to actually start. Same thing for ‘worth it’ and ‘too smart/dumb’ and ‘takes too long’. How we use language is ridiculously subjective and comparative. Makes my head spin.

Teaching myself the concept of failure is subjective since I or someone else sets the bar and speed so I can probably just relax and adjust as needed. Instead of trying to do too much and burn out. Also whatever I personally consider a failure probably just isn’t enough repetitions to be pleasant to me. But my standards have nothing to do with my actual ability. Fun.
