Again... everything is manifested by mind but that does not mean it doesn't exist independently from mind. We know it exists independently from mind because it is discovered and not invented.It is called scientific discovery.Why don't you prove your claim?Logic, like math or science or music are discovered which means they exist outside of the minds of humans.Dude, I just showed it to you. Logic is universal and logic determines what standards are. Not some fucked up selfish man who wants to own people or fuck little kids. Logic tells you that those things are wrong and that if you do them there will be predictable consequences.And that is a big if.So the question that naturally begs to be asked is if there is a universal code of common decency that is independent of man how come we all don't behave the same way when it comes to right and wrong? The reason man doesn't behave the same way is because of subjectivity. The difference between being objective and being subjective is bias. Bias is eliminated when there is no preference for an outcome. To eliminate a preference for an outcome one must have no thought of the consequences to one's self. If one does not practice this they will see subjective truth instead of objective truth. Subjective truth leads to moral relativism. Where consequences to self and preferences for an outcome leads to rationalizations of right and wrong.
There is absolutely no evidence of some universal code of behavior. And for there to be one then there would have to be an absolute authority that authored that moral code.
There is none
You showed me no proof that logic exists outside the minds of humans.
).
Nothing in that says that logic exists outside of the human mind.
Music wasn't discovers so much as it was invented. All the sounds in nature are the basis for music and our musical minds evolved with our intellect.
And you still are having difficulty separating the physical world from the world of the mind.
not everything is manifested by the mind.
Some things will have existed whether or not humans ever did. Some things have only existed since the human mind could ponder them.
The sun would exist if there were never any people.
Beethoven's 9th would not exist if there were never any people
