MORAL INTUITIONISM IS A TEST NOT A TRUTH.
I agree with moral intuitionalism. However, that is a statement about our ability to test moral statements. It is not a test of whether moral statements are NECESSARY and therefore TRUE or not.
You might notice that I don’t rely on NORMATIVE expressions of morality EVER in my arguments.
Introspection is not only insufficient for the solution to the mind body problem, and the problem of consciousness, but it is also insufficient for analysis of morality.
In fact, any philosophical argument that relies upon introspection, is, I am fairly certain, a fallacy. (Although I am willing to be proven wrong if someone can provide an example.)
Truth is a function of correspondence on one hand and internal consistency on the other. Introspection fails both of those tests without the use of instrumentation to test our thoughts.
