Thinking about it more now, I’m still unsure if this is the right way to think about things. As a moral relativist, I don’t think there is moral truth, although I’m unsure of it because others disagree. But I seem to have concluded that I should just follow my emotions in the end, and only care about moral arguments if they convince my emotional side. As almost all moral claims, that is contentious. It’s also making me think that perhaps how far towards the crazy town you go can depend a lot on how much you trust your emotions vs argumentation.
