Indeed I have literally no clue what "deductively valid" means to you. But in logic, "deductively valid" has a very specific meaning, not whatever stupid claim comes to your mind. So pls, formalise your argument and show to the world the deductive validity of your argument according to your stupid claim.If you don't know that it is deductively valid it's because you don't know what that means. — Bartricks
Sure ma’am.What's next is the sinking feeling that you are massively out of your depth followed by humiliation — Bartricks
It's the most stupid claim I've read so far in this thread to consider this argument (as it is) deductively valid. — neomac
1. Moral imperatives are imperatives of reason
2. Imperatives of reason have a single source: Reason
3. Only a mind issues imperatives
4. Therefore, moral imperatives are the imperatives of a single mind
5. The single mind whose imperatives are the imperatives of reason will be omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent (God). — Bartricks
Indeed there is lots I could learn from your intellectual dishonesty. But no, sorry, not interested.Haha, you really don't know your stuff. Undergrad are we? — Bartricks
Let me stress it once more (from the abyss of my public humiliation you are so sadly fantasizing about): as it is, your first argument is obviously deductively invalid and it's utterly stupid to claim otherwise. You wouldn't need a sequence of 4 deductions, if it was valid as it was.The first argument is obviously deductively valid. — Bartricks
YepNow, each argument was deductively valid, yes? — Bartricks
Nope.And they are also sound. Deal. — Bartricks
Don't worry, your stupid claim still remains the one I pointed out for the reasons I explained. Typos can be excused, of course, I'm not intellectually dishonest as you are proving to be the more you talk, but it was still worth mentioning it for clarity."But you made a typo in your first premise, so I win and your argument is stupid and dumb and just so stupid. So there." — Bartricks

1. Arguable. Emotions and irrationality may also play a role. — ZzzoneiroCosm
You seem to be just using me as a passive-aggressive way to attack Bartricks. Knock yourself out. — T Clark
It is uncontroversial that moral norms are norms of Reason. — Bartricks
