[Serious] Moral Obligations toward Possible Worlds
#78
RE: Moral Obligations toward Possible Worlds
Insomuch as those stockpiles are also a part of a moral order which we've discarded or believe to have been flawed, I think we can say that we've improved, sure.

Thing is, we're still those scattered tribes competing for resources. Always have been. It's not inconceivable that one band of raiders is less shitty or maybe even just a little bit better than another. In Raid World, there is no non raid option. You select among equally raidful things and you don't have to see any one of them as a good thing. I'd argue that it might even help a band of raiders select the least shitty thing, if they realize how shitty every choice available truly is. This, ofc, compared to a hypothetical society in raid world that always sees at least one option as good.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
