Everything is objective. Our ability to quantity things is where we consider things to be subjective.
Well I believe in the soul…
Morals are objective.
Can you elaborate?
Sure!
Argument is that you can't just call something objectively evil or good. "Murder isn't evil, what if it was in self-defense."
That's overcomplicating it. If you weren't missing any context you could get around "what if" situations.
Now I don't think we can tell right from wrong at all times. Everything from personal experience, current position in history, and traits like greed make it hard for us. But still, there should be a right answer.
In practice this just means if I feel a topic is controversial to me, I will keep thinking or researching about it until I have a pretty stable stand. As opposed to "it's confusing so I don't want to think about."
I could at least get closer to right answer this way.
Hope this helps!

These are some more lighthearted things, but here goes:
• Sonic the Hedgehog ( Sonic '06 ) wouldn't be as fun of a game if all the bugs and glitches were gone. I live for a good glitch or six sometimes. Same without the highly difficult and janky super speed sections.
• Sonic Unleashed is an amazing game ( but the xbox/ps3 versions are the superior versions, as someone who has beat it on ps2 and xbox360 ).
• Due to the janky turn left/right movements on Sonic Lost World and just general movement jank, I am absolutely glad they have the run button to occasionally slow me down and stop me from dying.
• Also an extreme believer that the special stages ( on the 3DS version of Lost World ) are absolute cancer.
• Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl was nowhere near as good as The Wrong Trousers. I absolutely hated how they made Wallace absolutely incompetent and idiotic when it comes to normal things ( like how to use a non-electric tea pot ) when he didn't have any technology.
• Xbox style controllers with BAXY ( right, down, left, up ) button layout are the way to go. The only exception to that belief right now is my 3rd party wired switch controller because it has a headphone jack.
I haven't played any of the Sonic games since Sonic and Knuckles so I am going to have to take your word on all of that. haha
I am partial to how the Joycon is set up myself, but I think it is just because of how much I play it compared to alternate styled consoles.
Sonic and Knuckles special stages are so much better, in my opinion. Maybe I'm just not good at the Lost World special stages on 3DS, but I somehow struggle because they use motion controls ( moving myself and the whole system to move in a 3D environment ). Moving along in a straight line to collect balls is so much easier, in my opinion.
Also, joycons are an alright enough setup, but I personally don't like how small they are. My hands were not made for extended unattached usage of those things.
I'm nitpicky about the word "believe". So let me rephrase: I do not believe. Either I know, or I don't know. Everything else are more or less informed speculations, assumptions or hypotheses at best.
I do not believe. Either I know, or I don’t know.
You know things but do not accept them to be true or real?
I believe that whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you..... stranger....
