Morality is a human invention. We can make it whatever we want. So we better make it fucking good.
Care about strangers. Love the unloved. Help the helpless. Work to fix hard problems. Make things better, even if you do it in an inefficient way.
- incompatible 1y agoThis is about deciding for ourselves how we want to live. Evidently, people have different ideas about what sort of society they want. I think it would be best if different communities were permitted to find their own way, with their own systems and rules, instead of trying to impose a "morality" on others. It just turns things into a zero-sum game of power and control, and we know how that turns out.
