Step 2: Truth & The Moral Binary

In Step 1, we established the Bedrock. Now we must use that bedrock to test the validity of Relativism against the Four Immovable Laws of Reality.

The “Absolute” Anvil

The Logical Test: Does Absolute Truth Exist?
The Hypothesis: "There is no absolute truth."

If Yes: Then it is absolutely true that absolute truth does not exist. (Violation: Law of Non-Contradiction). The hypothesis is disproven.
If No: Then the statement is merely a subjective preference, not a fact of reality, and carries no logical weight. Absolute Truth exists.

The Logical Test: Can we know it?
The Rebuttal: "Okay, truth exists, but we cannot KNOW absolute truth."

If True: Then we know the absolute truth that we cannot know absolute truth. (Violation: Law of Non-Contradiction).
If False: Then we indeed can know absolute truth. Absolute Truth is discoverable.

Absolute Truth is inescapable. You cannot reject it without attempting to claim it.
Truth is not a distant country you might visit; it is the territory you are already standing in.

The Moral Binary (The Slap of Reality)

The Inquiry:

Is the torture, mutilation, rape, and murder of a child Truly Evil (an objective fact of reality),
or is it merely Unpleasant (a subjective preference)?

The Fork in the Road (Law 2): There is no middle ground. You must choose one of the two equations below or deny the fundamental laws of reality. Do not shut your eyes. Look at where existence without objective morality takes you.

Hypothesis A: The Standard (1 + 1 = 2) Morality is a Fact The Logic

There are some things that are Truly Evil, universally and eternally, regardless of what anyone says. It is an Objective Truth that overrides physics, biology, culture, and opinion.

The Causal Necessity (PSR)

If "Evil" is a real thing (not just a feeling), then there is an Absolute Standard of Good that exists outside of time, space, and matter. Evil is not determined by when, where, or who. Torturing, mutilating, raping, and murdering a child was wrong 10,000 years ago, it is wrong today, and it will be wrong 10,000 years from now.

The Verdict

You are right to be outraged at injustice. Evil is real because Good is real. You matter. Your friends, your family, your children—they are not biological accidents. Their joy creates echoes; their tears have weight. When you embrace them, you are participating in something Sacred.

Hypothesis B: The Void (1 + 1 = 3) Morality is an Illusion The Logic

We are merely advanced primates—biological accidents resulting from billions of years of random mutation. There is no "soul," no "spirit," and no "purpose."

The Horror

If this is true, then human life has exactly the same intrinsic value as a cockroach: Zero.

The Consequence

In this universe, the torture, mutilation, rape, and murder of a child is not evil; it is simply one set of atoms rearranging another set of atoms. The shrieks of the child are meaningless sound waves, no different than the wind blowing through the trees.

The Slap

If you hold this view, you must look at your friends, your family, even your own child, and admit: "You are nothing but a biological accident. Your laughter is meaningless. Your pain is meaningless. If you die, the universe will not blink, because you never mattered in the first place."

The Verdict

You lose the right to judge anyone. The serial killer, the rapist, the child molester—none of them were 'wrong.' They were simply chemical reactions in the meaningless void of existence.

The Logic Trap: The Binary Gate

You are cornered. Logic demands a decision.

Option A: The Standard
There is an Absolute Standard of Good. Option B: The Void
Morality is an illusion. Test my worldview in the Hall of Horrors. I have an objection (Let's test it) ← Back to Step 1
