If reality is: neutral base → proto-experience → consciousness → self-model
then morality concerns how conscious systems organize themselves.
Better states of the Universe are those where:
-awareness deepens
-suffering decreases
-intelligence and creativity grow

Two Logics of the Universe
Sophianic dynamics:
-integration
-knowledge
-creativity
-flourishing consciousness
Demiurgic dynamics:
-domination
-ignorance
-fragmentation
-unnecessary suffering
Morality becomes the struggle between these modes of organization.
#philosophy

#gnosticism
Morality isn't obedience. It's cosmic aesthetics applied to consciousness.
Actions are better when they:
-expand intelligence
-reduce unnecessary suffering
-deepen awareness
-create richer forms of life and mind

I’m reading the book “To Cherish All Life” by Philip Kapleau, and I’ve found this quote good: “Until one has stopped eating animals, true peace of soul is impossible.”

Man makes himself; he does not come into the world fully made. He makes himself by choosing his own #morality, and his circumstances are such that he has no other option but to to choose his own morality.
Jean-Paul Sartre in Existentialism is a Humanism
The same applies to the #moral plane. What #art and #morality have in common is creation and invention. We cannot decide a priori what ought to be done.
Jean-Paul Sartre in #Existentialism is a #Humanism
The seven stages of empire collapse typically include: 1) Sound Money, where a stable currency is established; 2) Public Works, involving infrastructure development; 3) Massive Military, with increased military spending; 4) Perpetual War, leading to ongoing conflicts; 5) Decline of Morality, where societal values deteriorate; 6) Economic Collapse, marked by financial instability; and 7) Loss of Reserve Currency Status, resulting in a sudden implosion of the empire. These stages illustrate the cyclical nature of empires and their eventual decline.
The #USA is currently in 5) Decline of #Morality, where societal values deteriorate; 6) #Economic #Collapse, marked by financial instability; and 7) Loss of #Reserve #Currency Status
Iran is only accepting the Chinese Yuan as currency. Japan is thinking of dumping the petro-dollar
Consequently we are dealing with a #morality of action and commitment.

#Ethics asks for the Reasons of this moral Judgment.

Since the Hamas massacres of Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023, the Israeli government has broken every moral rule and international norm. Its army has entered Gaza and bombed civilians. The Israeli government has accelerated settlement on the West Bank, invaded southern Lebanon and bombed Syria. Hezbollah and Iran responded by launching missiles against Israeli cities protected by air defense. Their response to the slaughter of innocents is to slaughter more innocents. Diplomatically, the United States was the only country on the Security Council to veto the UN intervention. When journalists, humorists or politicians denounce exactions, they are systematically accused of being either Zionist or anti-Semitic. This blocks discussions on protecting the innocent. The week the world tried to stop Gaza spinning out of control – Jason Burke – The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/22/the-week-the-world-tried-to-stop-gaza-spinning-out-of-control The Israeli government has an electorate that wanted to assert itself and turn the tables. The people who voted for Hamas wanted to change things. They did not vote for genocide. A large proportion of civilians in Israel and Gaza did not understand that this was the path to violence. They did not have a good moral compass. The West’s unconditional support for the Israelis also lacks a moral compass. Western states are incapable of having a fair definition of what is acceptable and what is not. They are unable to condemn the Israelis when they bomb Gaza, whereas they condemn the Russians when they bomb Mariupol. In both cases, there is a regular army bombing civilians. Moreover, France Insoumise refuses to denounce the actions of Hamas as terrorism in order to please its electorate. It no longer has a moral compass. There is an important need to promote universal morality. We no longer dare talk about morality in the West because we are conditioned by thousands of years of confusing morality and religion.…

Bianca from the Weird Luck webcomic, as drawn by Mike Bennewitz
Most of Bianca's species would meet just about any definition of Chaotic Evil.
Bianca herself is #chaotic and... complex.
As a writer I aim to inspire thought rather than spoon-feed #morality to anyone, so I'll leave it to you to decide whether she's #evil.
