      This whole thread is a decent summary of my moral philosophy, which basically amounts to "There is no way to live without causing suffering, so instead, try to recognize when the suffering is necessary and when it isn't, and balance your needs with those of others."https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1206797608749953024 …

      There's an idea floating around that you "shouldn't hurt people". In general, this is a good idea. Sometimes there's obvious exceptions, like in self defense. Sometimes it's less obvious - your abusive romantic partner might be terribly hurt if you break up with them. Sometimes-

      My moral system also encourages people to dwell in the perspectives of whoever/whatever is hurt by their actions. Do you eat meat? Then spend time dwelling in the lives of the animals that died to be your food.

      But only those who are very strong, and very emotionally stable, can do this without being brought down by it. My moral system says that, if you are not strong enough, then you shouldn't try this kind of reflection. The point is not to wallow in guilt but to expand oneself.

      My moral system encourages people to become strong enough to encompass all these perspectives. To hold within themselves their own perspective, and the perspective of the animals they eat, and the perspective of whatever will eat them.

      It is a moral system built on empathy and understanding, and also an acceptance that pain is part of the nature of life. It is not a moral system that is built on judgment or guilt or punishment.

      The way that it affects behavior is to teach: if you have to hurt someone or something, try to do it honorably. If you have to kill an animal for food, don't draw out its suffering (and also, raise it in humane conditions).

      My moral system says you are allowed to fight wars. To defend yourself and your people against invaders, not because your people are better, but because they're *yours*. But it says that if you do fight, you should do so honorably.

      (In my mind, my moral system is heavily inspired by this Crowley passage. "The universe is the practical joke of the general at the expense of the particular." https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/crowley/lies/17.htm …)

          The Book of Lies is the only book of Crowley's I really like.

          Huh, what about Book 4? (Disclaimer that it's been years since I read Crowley. But he had a big influence on me back in college.)
