That’s unusual, because most people I’ve met who are into astrology get most of their predictions wrong and, undeterred, make up an excuse afterward

I wonder where that number came from
It came from the guy depicted in the meme, Karl Marx.
It’s part of his historical materialism, and by capitalism he means more than just money lending.
13·10 months agoWhen I was living and working in a very poor area I knew many people who sold plasma as often as they could. They would talk about it with excitement: the waiting period was about to be over, and they could spend part of their weekend having essential parts of themselves extracted for $200.
It was so common, and it just gave me this overwhelming sense of dread. The worst part was that no one ever talked about how exploitative it was, they were just glad to have the cash.

Merely defining a word is semantics, and the discussion over objective vs subjective morality is about the nature of these moral claims.
Is there some karmic energy in the universe, or a god above all that judges right from wrong? That’s how people often anchor their morality in an objective framework.
From a purely secular framework, morality appears to be subjective, just a set of practical rules that let creatures interact in mutually beneficial ways.
If you personally like the idea of all sentient creatures avoiding suffering, it’s still a subjective preference, not a moral system that is rooted in some kind of good and bad properties that exist outside the judgment of the creatures themselves.
