0:00:07 absolute loyalty cannot set to exist0:00:11 unless one believes in an all-knowing0:00:13 entity that dictates such truth that is0:00:18 because there is no social equivalent to0:00:20 sale the scientific method so you can't0:00:23 for example put morals under the0:00:25 microscope0:00:26 while ahora the suspect the two also0:00:29 educated in hated Michael who is0:00:33 studying Arabic and Islamic studies at0:00:37 Oxford University is going to Jordan0:00:39 today or tomorrow it's after Saturday0:00:42 and so he's going to immerse himself in0:00:44 an arabic-speaking country he's an0:00:46 atheist I'm a theist I believe in God he0:00:48 doesn't believe in God in this0:00:49 discussion we're gonna try and see which0:00:51 one makes more sense we're trying fish0:00:53 out of these arguments and so the first0:00:55 thing I will ask you if you say yeah0:01:01 ultimate truth actually as I say no it's0:01:06 not I can't say that not true and I like0:01:10 how you set me up there but again I hope0:01:14 I prove to you the view but generally0:01:17 I've come up with is my freedom to say0:01:18 broadly across the spectrum you consent0:01:20 is implementable really important I'm0:01:24 just because what you're saying is a bit0:01:26 of attempt intended to play and I want0:01:27 to come back to the core so you're0:01:30 saying that because I listened to you0:01:32 carefully I don't want to lose this0:01:33 point you said that something is0:01:34 rationalizing oh you can rationalize it0:01:36 and it's prescriptive and then you can0:01:39 move forward with that as a subjective0:01:40 rerunning you said back as a strong0:01:43 subjective perception as a strong0:01:44 subjective you've just described0:01:46 narcissism0:01:49 scribed not season it is rationalize0:01:53 abou in the mind of Marcy's and is0:01:55 prescriptive against the Jews so is it0:01:58 okay for Hitler to do what he did0:02:00 well that's what we have competing ideas0:02:03 about morality but it's okay I would say0:02:10 no but why not well because I have a0:02:13 different I believe I have more0:02:14 convincing idea when Rama to come so0:02:17 subjective morality versus subjective0:02:18 mind but both of them are crushing the0:02:20 lies that were both from prescriptive I0:02:21 would say none of it - one is0:02:23 International high school0:02:24 why not because they despise the minds0:02:26 they well regard that they want keeping0:02:29 in regard people's autonomy and so I0:02:31 have to keep it does that have certain0:02:32 so that ask me that's my own but no but0:02:34 you've said that you have to keep you0:02:35 just put something in there you0:02:36 superimpose that liberal principle is0:02:38 that has to keep himself into0:02:40 considerations people people autonomy0:02:42 and yeah yeah this is the harm principle0:02:43 Jase mill right and on liberty has wrote0:02:46 a book and he said you know so long as0:02:47 you're not harming anyone else do what0:02:49 you wanna do I mean in a nutshell really0:02:51 this this for the camera but middle0:02:54 isn't of the same sort of in this0:02:56 particular I mean you've caught the hum0:02:58 principle so what I'm saying to you know0:02:59 they're completely different I mean if0:03:01 I'm saying this is completely against0:03:03 Kansas idea0:03:06 okay actually it's not completely0:03:09 against it but that's another because0:03:10 you know so if you were to say for0:03:12 example the greatest benefit in a gang0:03:16 rape from by the gang rapers overwhelms0:03:19 out the person victim personal economy0:03:23 which is a liberal principle it's a0:03:25 liberal principle you get that one okay0:03:27 so how can you put your subjective0:03:29 liberal principle onto in there as if a0:03:31 subjective reality I'm not saying as0:03:34 injected I'm just saying it's some0:03:35 compelling to the point I can say the0:03:39 same thing about it's like but a0:03:42 dissolute and you convince people with0:03:44 that no but I can say the same thing0:03:45 about Judaism and Hinduism an indica set0:03:47 when the point is it's all subject and0:03:49 we can you see how life become so hard0:03:51 yeah to it can you see how it is this is0:03:53 why one of his colleagues also0:03:54 University Michael is more to do with0:03:57 social sciences of his buddies for0:03:59 Islamic studies and studying physics at0:04:05 Oxford so it's a bit more the twist the0:04:07 scientific edge to it0:04:09 he's also an atheist we're gonna go0:04:11 through some of the arguments for and0:04:13 against a deity so would you say is a0:04:16 post modernist think it's back yeah this0:04:17 bestiality and man haven't sessions for0:04:19 some new land horse or donkey0:04:23 okay did you say that it's wrong0:04:25 ultimately by altering the action you're0:04:29 asking me objectively yeah objectively0:04:31 no that's the reasoning for that is that0:04:36 it's not for me when you take me0:04:40 objective you mean effectively0:04:41 definitely done it's externally verses0:04:44 written in the code of the perspective0:04:46 saying about well I'm saying it's not0:04:49 it's unchangeable something else is0:04:50 definitely a true statement0:04:52 it's a next one it's and it would still0:04:54 be a true saying even if there was no0:04:55 community yeah but it's a true statement0:05:01 I say it's a true statement to say that0:05:02 this report about animal is the wrong0:05:06 thickness would you say buzzer Oh degree0:05:07 that is a wrong thing but not the same0:05:10 reasoning and grinding gee well you0:05:12 can't hire a Zappos problem mate here's0:05:14 the hitting just because I'm opposed to0:05:16 - in the sense that I do not believe0:05:19 there's an absolute truth no absolute0:05:22 truth about - Jack well I mean it's like0:05:25 it just because I can't I can call I can0:05:28 so allow a lot of things because the0:05:29 reason is so they're pinyin and fluffy0:05:30 no no it doesn't mean nothing0:05:32 what does it mean it just means that I0:05:34 can't say it's hundred percent tricky0:05:36 and more likely when you're saying carbs0:05:37 that let me just see if I were right so0:05:38 you're saying in common sense this one0:05:40 because your post oneness but you can0:05:42 say all the balance probably my opinion0:05:43 this one no well it's been more than0:05:48 that so as a place more than 70 I had0:05:51 the idea that the one thing that to fill0:05:55 this world obviously I can't necessarily0:05:57 guarantee I'm even in okay that's a very0:06:00 horrible thing for me if you're denying0:06:04 that then it's a huge amount make0:06:07 you should ask at being an entity is0:06:10 all-knowing then you can't have ultimate0:06:13 truths it's as simple as that and going0:06:15 back to this moral question about you0:06:19 know I got into Sanjay yeah no question0:06:22 I have you answer responder there how I0:06:24 can just habit slice it how precise it I0:06:26 said I said she did I say to hit that0:06:28 did what he did it was in his moral0:06:30 intro or his belief yeah dictator sir to0:06:33 the people that you know he you know he0:06:36 wanted to kill the Jews he wanted to0:06:37 make himself he wanted to be completely0:06:40 you know the Aryan race in the face0:06:42 dominant in Germany etc etc and he0:06:45 wanted to do to be exterminated0:06:54 okay so you do that not probably to what0:06:58 you probably want you to say hundreds in0:07:00 and I'm gonna give you and for the0:07:03 future I do think it is one can find0:07:04 that I don't mean I can say objectively0:07:06 but so high as in like to unimaginable0:07:10 higher than the point you need that's0:07:12 Mickey okay I probably let me let me0:07:15 explain let me speak to this because0:07:17 that was that was it perfectly I mean0:07:20 I'm just0:07:20 for me it's so openly one because the0:07:23 need reason my basis working to for them0:07:25 so yeah the first thing is that you have0:07:28 to observe the universe around you I0:07:31 need to go through this or else you0:07:33 won't make sense0:07:34 occasionally I'm sorry I'll try and get0:07:36 through as possible so that everything0:07:39 comes from senses and for me everything0:07:42 come from our set up so Dean like I0:07:44 experience everything comes from it0:07:46 everything introduced in which I'm0:07:47 experience with my senses0:07:49 so he was someone with that without all0:07:50 five senses and they've got a brain so0:07:55 experience experiences only don't exist0:07:58 it's not they do exist our way we gain0:08:00 experiences and you can get experience0:08:03 without senses if someone doesn't have0:08:06 all five senses even beat them have the0:08:08 ability smells yeah yeah you can still0:08:11 you can still much they can think that0:08:13 they don't know anything about their0:08:14 windows so everything comes from our0:08:25 experience and when I think about that I0:08:28 mean everything including me I can't as0:08:33 a result not leaving any objective0:08:35 morality yeah0:08:36 I cannot condemn anything for someone0:08:38 does one there okay what I mean by that0:08:41 you could probably think of something0:08:42 you condemn me that is very if there's0:08:45 no there's nothing like nothing if the0:08:47 brain one person in the university0:08:49 there's only one person you hang on I'll0:08:51 explain how I can't go there's only one0:08:53 person who knew this for me0:08:55 that person cannot do anything and that0:08:58 has great ties to Liberty libertarian0:09:01 views comedy I did but the material0:09:03 views is subjective they up and that's0:09:05 likely to prescribe to seduce is that's0:09:07 no point of me not believing inject yes0:09:09 you're imposing down I mean you're0:09:11 saying this is this is what Michael look0:09:13 by the way it's just this is so it's0:09:14 very interesting because it's just it0:09:16 shows you the mind of to be honest with0:09:18 you socially constructed 21st century0:09:20 men whenever we talk to them about0:09:22 morals they always refer back to the0:09:24 Enlightenment all right0:09:25 Liberty a little television but what I'm0:09:27 talking about that we're talking about a0:09:28 world where models are completely0:09:30 subjective where human beings can make0:09:32 their own models and their own purpose0:09:34 and I can say even as you know as0:09:37 Richard Dawkins himself said so my0:09:50 question is having this kind of mind0:09:53 friend will stop you from being able to0:09:55 say that and you haven't said it yet but0:09:56 this is what we do0:09:59 you couldn't even say for example about0:10:01 you know killing a child or raping a0:10:03 child the babies0:10:04 kind of the same you know could you say0:10:06 that five hundred percent yeah no no no0:10:11 no it's close to a hundred senators0:10:13 assuming of course or there with Ryan0:10:16 and Michael0:10:17 whenever I sort of put them in a0:10:18 scenario they referred to Enlightenment0:10:21 ideas like liberalism0:10:23 in himself autonomy etc the problem was0:10:27 that is that liberalism like any of the0:10:29 human ideologies is actually unprovable0:10:31 objectively from an atheistic0:10:34 perspective which macrosse1 expected a0:10:36 bearing that in mind an atheist can't0:10:39 actually disprove any model0:10:42 to be objectively incorrect I want 80s0:10:46 to really pay attention to that point0:10:48 especially as it relates for example to0:10:50 criticizing religious people Muslims0:10:53 were tough it was the moon to put our0:10:54 head start or was a man but growing a0:10:56 bit they have no basis really to say0:10:59 that this is utterly wrong or absolutely0:11:01 wrong it would have no basis to do that0:11:04 in fact look I challenge any0:11:07 faithfulness to pick up on any of the0:11:10 morals of Islam or any of the other0:11:12 religions in fact and say that this is0:11:15 absolutely wrong you can't disprove0:11:18 religion like that no matter how much0:11:20 you say this is bad because it's morally0:11:23 unacceptable that's only gonna be your0:11:25 opinion now having said that we are very0:11:29 moral creatures and I want you to really0:11:31 think about it psychologically and0:11:32 physiologically we're moral creatures0:11:35 emotionally we're moral where did those0:11:37 morals come from how comes0:11:40 such Moors are so deeply rooted within0:11:43 us
