Seems like we’ve been on the express train to Billionaireville for a little too long now.

    Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.

    I don’t believe in a inherently moral universe. Isn’t it arrogant to think that morality, a concept we invented, has to be applicable universally, across all space and time? Somehow, I doubt so.

      It’s not just a concept we invented, but also a concept that only apply to us.

      So I think the moral universe refers to a morality that would apply to any of us, throughout nations and cultures.

      Wich I don’t find particularly far fetched since despite our cultures we do find a lot of common ground in our condition. It’s the basis for human rights for example.

      Although I wouldn’t say that cultures shouldn’t have an impact to on morality. There’s definitely a mixture of both…

        We can barely apply morality consistently within the same culture or society, almost as if morality is a tool for the powerful.

          Yeah it’s not easy. Societies are often multicultural, and each culture doesn’t restrict individual values or smaller communities within it.

          I wouldn’t say it’s just for the powerful, it can be a tool for the people too. The powerful do manipulate it for political reasons but ironically they themselves are mostly amoral.
