Seems like we’ve been on the express train to Billionaireville for a little too long now.
Ah, but the question is, is this a moral universe? Or an apathetic universe?
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.
Because everyone likes an annoying buzz kill, he was actually quoting a universalist minister from a few decades before.

Foucault would like a word.
Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.
Grind down the universe to a fine powder. Find me one atom of justice.
