[00:00:00]I I I think I would start with making a a basic distinction, you know, does does ethics change um or does our understanding of it change? Um you know, so and and our development of it and and and whatnot. So, you know, some people would say things that have a moral realist bent to them where they say, "Look, uh the universe is kind of an ethical place and we get better understandings of it over time."

[00:00:25]>> Oh, that's interesting. Um and so it's objective, Oh, that's interesting. We're just right. We're going toward it. We're pursuing it.

[00:00:32]>> cultures and whatnot. And and everything is at the and and so if you look back to people like Plato, like people like Kant, they would say things that, you know, there's an objective framework and there's really nothing new to be discovered in terms of that framework um that we kind of know what it is and maybe we have new examples and we try to understand it. Just like a along the lines of of a scientific theory.
