      the distribution of jobs in a society needs to match the distribution of IQ if the system requires 80% of the people to be 130 plus, then it’s a BAD system

      similarly, if a moral system requires 80% of the people to be in the top 2 % of agreeableness then it’s also a BAD system

      u could even say they are immoral systems because they force contortion of a natural distribution into a forced desire of what god “should’ve done instead”

      all systems of morality are rooted in non-acceptance bc the only system of morality that perfectly matches the distribution IS what’s happening/has-happened

      so a brainworm like “metta is the path to highest morality” is a trap that ironically does the opposite bc it implies that those who do not metta are less moral by implying that there is some other higher moral plane to ascend to

          Replying to @a_yawning_cat

          Moral systems are prescriptive, not descriptive. They're not supposed to reflect the present but point out a future goal state to orient action toward. I agree on the jobs distribution point though. And morality is often put way too uptight, self-righteous and hierarchical.

          but pointing out a future goal state for orientation purposes does precisely that, reflecting the present. no? but yeah, seems about right 🙂.
