Re: morality's half twists
Many sects of Buddhism help to add confusion. The ultimate in the paradoxical nature of morality, imho, is that, via self-inquiry and silent meditation (asking "Who am I?") we make the kind-of icky discovery that all is one and we are God. Have you ever seen the movie "The Ruling Cla...

at any rate, there's a conundrum of morality being self serving in that (in theory) you'll do better if you follow these rules for engagement, which appear to promote selflessness. The Catholics have been doing this for 2000 years, and they've worked out most of the details. Basically, a truly awes...

Re: morality's half twists
Used to collect underground comics from the mid-70s to mid-80s. Have been selling them all off before our next adventures but keeping Binky Brown, it can fit undamaged with other papers somewhere, too funny to sell for $30 or so. Recommend getting you one, really great comic. https://www.ebay.com/sc...

Re: morality's half twists
One I like is "Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you." If one of the parties involved is much more powerful than the other it may pay lip service to this all while violating the principle with enthusiasm. US foreign policy, especially in the 1960s-1980s an example... instigating c...
