It sure seems like there are objective differences on the moral spectrum between building a bionic limb for a three legged puppy and skullfucking my neighbors.
Here's a pump for you. Perhaps it could only be the case that there were no objective differences between those two acts if there was some super powerful genie majicking the world into a perpetually counterfactual state in every moment everywhere. Such that you couldn't so much as complete any fact-statement about anything before it was somehow™ untrue. I start a breath by thinking my name is john but by the end of the exhale the past has been rewritten and my name is bill.

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!
