114. The issue is simple, then.
You're just misrepresenting the argument.

HE is talking about Deontology, but YOU are hyperfocusing upon Immanuel Kant for no reason. Does you hyperfocus upon Kant actually refute anything about Deontology as a whole? No, it doesn't. This is something of a straw-man argument, because you're acting like he's arguing for Kantian ethics verbatim, which he never did.


These are facts, comprende?

Facts are simple verifiable observations. This is hot. This is such and such temperature. This is such and such hardness. Someone is african-american. Right/wrong are not facts. Those are truth-values /attributed/ to perceived facts. (You are wrong, just like your little buddy is wrong.)
