Ethical discourse
Random title. What man seeks is happiness by doing what he believes himself to be good. He does this to maintain a healthy relationship with others under the guidance of fair institutions. Why do we (I) doubt all three of them? We challenge the own concept of happiness and the valor of social interactions and do we need to say anything about the qualities of the virtues of our institutions? Huxley, in all his wisdom, wrote to Orwell that men are more likely to be tamed by virtue of happiness than by fear, thus challenging all of 1984's ideas. We do not agree with neither. We are ruled, conquered, pacified, restrained, subdued, suppressed and vanquished (yes, I do use a thesaurus) by apathy alone. There's no need for fear or promises of eternal bliss to control us all. We just need to switch it off. The light that guides our path. The fire that burns within us. Vanquished, we are conquered. No blood shed. We're happy about being content. Which is to say, we're happy by accepting we'll never be happy. We're happy because we have no fears to face, cause fear would serve no purpose no other to defeat itself. We're animals in the end, you see. The wildest, most beautiful animals. Also the ugliest. Why do we need ethics and moral except as a tool to control the wild beast inside us. Nietzsche talked about the Übermensch as he tried to make sense of it all. We ask why bother? Look around you, old fool. What need is there for ideal ideas? Don't you all know that
When the planets will align, there will be no planets to align?
