Sorry that the lack of a "God" fails to excite as much as mumbo-jumbo.

the best way for humanity to end would be for Full Communist aliens to show up, explain patiently and exactly why humanity has to go, and be so convincing that we unanimously agree. "welp. good points. can't really argue with any of them. basically an airtight case. so, uh, how do you wanna do this"

also i think you abandon marxism in certain respects if you accept an act-centred morality, ie the repugnant conclusion is dumb lol

what is "accepting an act-centred morality" and how does it concretely change someone's life or outlook with respect to marxism

like this sounds a least as mystical as anything i have actively affirmed as mysticism



what? i just mean deontological or consequentialist ethics as opposed to virtue ethics. virtue ethics could be described as self-centred in comparison.

actually maybe instead of self-centred i mean historical-community-centred, or something like that. the point is that ethics formed around basically individual decisions are nonsensical or at least weak as shit, eg in the case of emotivist ethics

ah yes well when you put it in common sense terms like that i see both the precise meaning and deep importance of what you are saying



well the main thing is that deontological and consequentialist ethics are transhistorical and universalist and can never be anything but, but virtue ethics are amenable to historicisation. aren't you a scholar of religion, shouldn't you know what these things mean
