I feel like youre saving me 4-5 years here. I strongly agree on the subjectivism vs non-naturalism thing btw.

"This makes total sense. Its not deductively rigorous but it does make sense. Hes contrasting hypothetical imperatives which is contingent on some particular end with a categorical imperative which is agnostic of any end and thus universal. For a categorical imperative such as that to exist (remember this is a transcendental argument showing the conditions for something to exist in this case the moral law) the universality of the imperative is all that it can contain. And if it cannot direct you toward a particular end for your will it must in some sense be an imperative about the form of your"

"Got it. Yeah I agree that the real numbers probably arent the right construct. I think binary relations/preferences are probably more fitting particularly without an archimedean assumption. Though that does mean you could map to something like the surreals. So yeah I think the implicit math assumptions that Flo makes are incorrect or at least heavily load-bearing and not obviously true and dismissing peoples views as irrational when there is a construct that would make them valid is bad rhetorical practice"

"I think you're being overly restrictive with how you apply the concepts here. Those two examples seem largely isomorphic to me just with the direction reversed (and you could easily ask "at what point does manslaughter become non-manslaughter" for the Sorites argument to re-align the directions). They are both fundamentally examples of the continuum / line-drawing fallacy it's just that each step in the Sorites example involves the equivalence operator while each step in the Spectrum argument involves the strict preference operator. I don't think one gets to be automatically legitimate in"

"I think the issue with vectors is that you do then have to ask how you compare the vectors to determine what is most X. This is important because morality does have to tell you what to do so it must be decidable (fine if there are ties ofc). This means you do have to induce an ordered binary relation of some sort on those vectors and if that binary relation meets the criteria of vNM it can necessarily be mapped to the real numbers. So theres this kind of natural drag towards scalars that you have to explicitly stop at some point either by rejecting decidability or one of the vNM criteria"
