Ethics of Chaos
It is patently obvious that the ethical norm relates to the society we espouse. If that is a world based on personal autonomy then ethics will be attuned accordingly. If the world is authoritarian with demagogues as demigods then another ethic rules. As a third social tendency, if the world is an altruist democracy [of subsidiary democracies] then it has its evolving ethic. But that leaves the fourth global ‘society’ which confounds all the previous ethics and has no common set of laws or ethics – Chaos as it may be termed. The question for that world, which is the one we have today, is not so much what its anti-ethic is, but how the national communities that constitute the world are to behave without endangering their own existence. Putinesque states may indeed put an iron curtain around themselves with no qualms, and us brute methods to subvert other nations. ‘Anarchistic’ or a nation based on personal autonomy, will barely have borders and may vaunt itself as an ‘open society’, and as a result be in extreme danger of dissolution. Altruist democracy has a quandary, but while doing everything possible to aid other countries will recognise that chaos brings persecution, poverty, and death.

So why follow, accept, or adhere to any of those, obviously, STUPID 'ways of living'?RWStanding wrote: ↑Mon Sep 05, 2022 7:50 am Ethics of Chaos

The other YET-TO-COME 'society' will be and IS MUCH MORE REWARDING and BETTER anyway.
