Rational philosophy of morality
From Rational Morality
Rational moral philosophy is based on the realization of the Moebius effect and how contradictions are in fact improvement potential that can be released by finding a compromise that reduces the effects of the contradiction. In essence it is the science of internalizing previously externalized cost thus improving the whole.
The logic of rational moral philosophy is as following:
all statements underly the Moebius effect
- Axiom: To exist is preferable over not to exist
- Utility: Ensure existence -> make sure you do not die
- Assumption: To exist is easier with the support of others
- Assumption: Others share my axiom
- Assumption: Others understand my assumptions
- Assumption: The cost of deceit is higher than the utility of manipulation
- Utility: Explain assumptions to others => communicate your thoughts
- Utility: Be honest => do not hide anything
- Assumption: Some neither share my axiom nor my assumptions
- Utility: Respect all others as much as yourself and let them be => know others but stay true to yourself
- Assumption: The more that share this knowledge the better for everyone
- Utility: Help others to understand the Moebius effect to reinforce the positive feedback loop => be the change
- Assumption: Nobody is perfect
- Utility: Be forgiving and understanding
- Utility: Strive for perfection through self improvement in becoming a mesoist
- Assumption: Sometimes things go wrong despite all good will
- Utility: Know and manage your existential risks and opportunities
- Assumption: There is a limit for humans beyond which self improvement is not worth the effort
- Utility: Create post human level rationality
