I'm writing a book on ethics. That's right, lil ol' me. I really have led a
fairly pleasant and harmless life though, and I'd very much like to share how
I pulled it off. Because I see a whole lot going down that's far from what I
consider harmless. So, a bit in response to
Mom's work, a bit in response to Sam Harris
and a whole lot in response to what I see as the failure of Buddhism
(small problem) and the dire disaster that is the tri-partite crock of
Abrahamic bullshit (BIG problem) I'm going to follow up the thesis with some
advice on how to behave yourself. Pretty much the stuff at
Blogster, with a little more rigor. And all new chapters on living with
'sexual misbehaviors', the real dangers of abdicating one's personal
responsibility to books and other 'authorities', how badly one may fail and how
to recover. Having rather recently recovered from an exceedingly failed state
myself I won't comment much further just yet but I'm fairly certain it'll have
some value as advice and absolutely positive it will as titillation. Keep an eye
...
Alright then, I will tell you. It is my considered opinion that only two
moral precepts are required to fix this human mess. First, that no one do to
another what they would not want done to themselves. Second, that no one do
anything they would not be comfortable telling anyone else. I have recently
resolved a serious violation of the second in my own personal life, and the
pain that the conflict caused and the embarassment that it's resolution cost
were instructive to me. I will deconstruct them for you soon enough, may you
find them as edifying.
