Re: Summation?
THAT's the real problem, that we pretend we're satisfied with compromises and then insist on making our pretenses into virtues.
I am having difficulty making sense of this.
​
You seem to be objecting to compromise. But Christianity is one gigantic compromise -- "ok, you will be let off as long as you have faith".
​
Or are you just saying
my compromise is better than your compromise, nah nah nah nah nah.

Re: subjective vs. objective or inherent value
Would you say that a statement such as "Arithmetic is green" is meaningful?
I suppose you could be talking about the environmental impact of doing arithmetic.
