      Apparently? You keep making philosophical assertions.

      You don’t get to assert your philosophical views and then say, “I’m not interested is discussing philosophy” to avoid examination and criticism of those views.

          Yes.

          Not trying to say that everything is subjective, but that in particular is kind of a bad example.

          I just think you’re being dismissive, while setting your own ideas as being apart from philosophy.

              But you’re explaining it with such a bad example that it undermines the whole point, it’s like if you said, “Some things are just objective facts, like which poems are good.” That to me indicates that it’s not really a simple concept at all, you just don’t see the depth because you haven’t examined it. Being unwilling to examine it, framing that examination as “the bottomless argument of philosophical truth,” only reinforces that. If you’re not willing to examine the question, then don’t assert that you know the answer in the first place.
