Aleph and FBA debate moral realism. Time to vote!

[Lion IRC]

I'm calling it.
Banjo Atheist winner by a narrow margin.

1. Because of the TKO. Aleph forfeits for non-compliance with deadline rule. (Ignoring the rules - really? In a debate about objective rules LOL Classic!)

2. Because Banjo's style beat Aleph's substance - and on substance they were a dead heat AFAICT

3. Because Banjo's case was more logically consistent. It was a "preferences versus intuition" cage fight but at least Banjo's debate didn't pretend that subjective preferences transcended subjective intuitions.

Thanks for the debate guys.

If rules were broken it is an invalid debate.  Result is both lost.

Yeah, not so much.
The formal debate has ended. Obviously if they want to continue their unmoderated discussion in their own good time thats fine.

You gotta feel a bit of sympathy for Banjo Atheist who no-doubt rushed to meet his posting deadline
...needlessly as it turns out.

Lion's preemptive assessment has now come to pass.  Please feel free to vote.

Do you have some basis for trusting your intuitions?

What exactly do you mean by "trust"? If you mean to ask whether I have some reason to think my intuitions are reliable (in that they probably produce true belief), the answer is no. But I don't think that's a problem since I'm not trying to infer anything from the fact that a belief is intuitive.

This is cut and paste from a recent thread, and my comment is that it clearly undercuts Aleph's argument.
