Wouldn't morals be different on a person by person basis?

2018-03-10 08:03:55 UTC  

Not by person to person, but by situation to situation.

2018-03-10 08:04:03 UTC  

Hence why we have due process and trial by jury.

2018-03-10 08:06:34 UTC  

Morals are still a spook

2018-03-10 08:07:01 UTC  

It's not like your opinion holds any weight.

2018-03-10 08:07:32 UTC  

My opinion is the only relevant one as this is my world

2018-03-10 08:07:49 UTC  

You're all alone in your world.

2018-03-10 08:08:04 UTC  

My world has over 7 billion people.

2018-03-10 08:08:12 UTC  

How's that for a jury?

2018-03-10 08:09:08 UTC  

Those people are all mine

2018-03-10 08:09:18 UTC  

They can think by themselves

2018-03-10 08:09:36 UTC  

In my perception they are mine

2018-03-10 08:09:51 UTC  

Luckily your personal perception is irrelevant to reality.

2018-03-10 08:10:12 UTC  

Reality is a spook also

2018-03-10 08:10:25 UTC  

Everything is a spook to you.

2018-03-10 08:10:31 UTC  

True

2018-03-10 08:10:31 UTC  

In reality, you are the spook.

2018-03-10 08:10:45 UTC  

I own myself

2018-03-10 08:10:52 UTC  

So nah

2018-03-10 08:11:11 UTC  

What makes you so sure about that?

2018-03-10 08:11:17 UTC  

I can be changed though

2018-03-10 08:11:46 UTC  

Everyone can be.

2018-03-10 08:12:38 UTC  

I am myself because i work in my own self-interest

2018-03-10 08:12:56 UTC  

What if you don't know what's in your own interests?

2018-03-10 08:13:48 UTC  

Long term i possibly don't know

2018-03-10 08:13:57 UTC  

I know you don't.

2018-03-10 08:14:03 UTC  

Which means you don't own yourself.

2018-03-10 08:14:25 UTC  

But short term, my actions will benefit myself in some way

2018-03-10 08:14:52 UTC  

If you don't know what benefits you, your actions are more likely to hinder you.

2018-03-10 08:15:07 UTC  

Then i can change my self-interest to adapt to the situation

2018-03-10 08:16:04 UTC  

If your interests change, then you never improve or own yourself.

2018-03-10 08:16:24 UTC  

You would sooner shift the goalposts than learn to score goals.

2018-03-10 08:16:43 UTC  

Even if you shift the goal, it's no guarantee that you'll ever score.

2018-03-10 08:16:46 UTC  

If it works in favor of what i currently believe in it helps

2018-03-10 08:17:06 UTC  

What do you believe?

2018-03-10 08:17:23 UTC  

Someone who doesn't know their own interests has no beliefs.

2018-03-10 08:17:49 UTC  

In reality, your beliefs are the governing dynamic of your interests.

2018-03-10 08:18:04 UTC  

I believe in bettering myself

2018-03-10 08:18:06 UTC  

Morality is to ethics as beliefs are to interests.

2018-03-10 08:18:17 UTC  

You don't know how to better yourself.
