sorry, a noobie here. but isn't this just the Nietzschean 'Master morality' for an intelligence-based hierarchical order, and your position (re the tweet below) the oppositional reaction of so-called Slave morality?https://twitter.com/NegarestaniReza/status/1224403052079337474?s=20 …

No, my position is coming from Plato, Hegel and Hermann Cohen. Logic is the other side of morality.

and disvalues as Findlay had it is a fruit of an ongoing labor, the modal, counterfactual and constructive elements of a logic that precede morality. It is what is called Ethics.

sure. but I think this is not about ethics vs. morality. bear with me here cause as I said, I dunno much about this. let's say Morality is an attribute of a system that tries to dominate/survive-amidst other systems that restrain it.

One of the greatest lessons of Plato was to distinguish phases from nomos. Phusis is concerned with norms which are objective, noms on the other hand are more like social conventions and etiquettes.

So imagine if we could shelter ourselves by making houses, the codes of building could serve the objective needs or conventions. How can it be of the former instead of the latter?

in some phases, the objective needs and conventions overlap (how could they not? I think of convention as a 3rd-degree abstraction. the development of Money can be thought of here). i.e an objective code-to-build can turn into a convention (stratification?) during n generation.

maybe a turn toward rationalism would be to always objectivize (!) all moral codes into an Espinoza-esque economy of usefulness/hindrance. isn't that "deterritorialization" in so many words then? anyways, I cannot see how Land is being inconsistent. I get your point though.

Yes this is essentially Plato cutting at the joints. Yes they can overlap but are they the same. The objective requirements are always there. But the conventions can change for the better or the worse.

Imagine a builder guild who suddenly says that no one should make beams from this kind of material but only from the material that the guild approves. This is when you should pit the objective rules a la phusis against whimsical conventions so as to subvert the latter.

Yes YES. that was my original point about the malignant super-intelligence which can only develop against the elite (the guild).
