A taxonomy of modern ethical values
6 Dec 2024
A taxonomy of modern ethical values. Here’s the summary of thinking—interesting:
- A person is in a constant and unremitting evolutionary struggle, modern accoutrements notwithstanding.
- We believe that the moral arc of the universe is long but it bends towards justice.
- We are in the middle of this. We are what you may call the educated elite. We are sympathetic to the points made by both sides above but are appalled by their excesses.
- We are the same as the above except that we dropped acid and are now scheduling our trip to the Amazon to take ayahuasca. We are high-vibrational
- We are totally turned off by the above. We also don’t have the pessimism that everybody else does. We actually like our jobs and like our phones.
- Of everybody above, we are most upset with the last one. What bothers us more than anything is when the mass stops seeing themselves as the wretched of the earth and starts viewing themselves as satisfied consumers
- We are repelled by all of the above — and we think that the confusion speaks for itself. We believe that these questions have been worked out a very long time ago in the ethical codes of the different religions of the world
Cute + fun. Which are you?
