    Joshs: One may "aim at continuous development of insights into the perspectives of others unlike ourselves" in the absence of moral facts.

    Philosophim: In the document, I provide arguments for both moral nihilism and negative hedonism (the view that the best way to go about living well is to aim for peace of mind). Can you refute any of those arguments?

    Outlander: Thank you for your kind words.

    Philosophim: In fact, the first five pages of the document contain a number of arguments for my philosophical positions. I am looking for any constructive feedback, such as counterarguments, corrections, and enhancements.

    Darth: Yes, I have posted my philosophy on Reddit in the past.

    Pierre: Thank you for the suggestion, but I would rather leave it open to the reader to discuss any part or parts of the document they wish. Also, as you note, the different parts of the document are integrated into a coherent whole.
