Not at all. I was just explaining how the current system works and why it is the way it is.
In fact, I am an anarcho-capitalist; about as far away as you can get from forcing your way of life on inferiors. But that’s more due to personal ethics and analysis of rational outcome patterns.
Basically, yes. Injustice can only feed off of the distinguished until it eventually destroys itself. Left alone, it can only self-destruct and be weeded from existence like a visceral plague or host of parasites.
It is simply the fundamental law of the universe, observable since time immemorial.
Capitalism= the few exploit the many for profit. See the correlation? And now we are experiencing it’s own implosion. A global depression like a torrential rainfall to cleanse the sewage from the mired city streets.
The flood waters of the primordial firmament shall once more be unleashed.
How we conceive concepts like “family” and “clan” are pretty fluid – for example, the notion of a nuclear family is actually a very recent concept dating back to the late European middle ages. But that has become ingrained in us as to what the word “family” means whereas “clan”, “tribe”, and other signifiers remain more vague which allows for an easier recognition of other concepts of family. Hence my choice of the word. As for selfishness trumping everything, given the existence of altruism I find that view rather untenable. It can be propped up with wishy-washy work arounds appealing to an inaccessible internal world but I am skeptical of any philosophy that would involve an appeal to such a stance.
Absolutely, the self is way down the line and surely universals are at the top of the pile as they cover more ground. in nature individuals are the least important thing, even alpha males.
A hierarchy of ethics is a tautology, ethics is the evaluation of moral value, which tends to suggest that some moral codes are better than others. The rub is which are they?
For that reason I find myself agreeing with moral pluralism, because it takes the best from moral systems and discards the worst in a reasoned manner.
I rather like the samurai ethic whereby morals don’t exist until the situation extends itself [cant remember the name of it], so we have no morals, but a set of potentials morals which are thence adapted to a given situation.
Samurais think that all slaves and servants should be willing to die for their master and they for their masters and their masters for God or karma and so on. Thus the God emperor and the real power the Shogun.
The famous story being a Samurai who fell off a cliff and was knocked out and his servant threw himself off the cliff to wake him before the tide claimed his life. The slaves family were made Samurai after his death as an honour for his duty.
