    There are no ethics in the game of human life. The world is far worse than this.

      Just so you know, this is called Moral Nihilism, and it seems to me about as useful as a physicist saying, “none of our models are 100% accurate, therefore they are all completely useless”.

      Like, yeah we agree that ethics is a construct we’ve invented, and no ethical system is perfect, and none of them ever will be. But that doesn’t translate to them all being useless. I know we’re living in a stressful time, and I understand the feeling of wanting to just flip the table and give up, but please recognize that as a purely emotional response, not a rational one.
