> That very much falls within the "IP is not real" category.

AH. Given that framing, then I suppose anything that varies from "these axioms are perfect there can be no others" must fall into the "not real" category.

But isn't there some debate about the moral axioms themselves? A space that is much more complex than "yes/no"?

EDIT: I always wonder, when I get two downvotes in the same moment, if someone is cheating. It happens so often.

EDIT2: And now! 3 upvotes in the same moment. I daresay someone is confessing.

no, I think people are just annoyed that you're trying to have an irrelevant and kinda cheesy 'is epistemology really real - think about it bro' conversation

I'm also a fan of nuance and non-black&white thinking but that is quite literally not how the rule of law generally works

Social constructs are bought and paid for by the wealthy.

Most people want a clean environment while the current US administration is pulling back environmental regulations to allow for more pollutants. The current US Supreme Court has taken gifts from those that have invested interest in the outcome of their judgements.

Social axioms are mutable while mathematical axioms are immutable.

Human trafficking is bad. How many of the wealthy that partook of Epstein's trafficking have been prosecuted? This shows that human trafficking being bad is mutable based on wealth and power.
