Morality Vs Freedom

Are you under the impression that a modest donation to charity, followed by the public declaration of your altruism, elevates you above others? Do you believe this makes you superior to those who have endured such desperate conditions that they've had to resort to unthinkable acts of survival? The notion that verbal affirmations of morality equate to ascending to the pinnacle of human virtue is deeply flawed.

No, such thinking is misguided and primarily serves to enhance your social standing rather than contribute significantly to alleviating human suffering.

As human beings, our responses are biologically informed and heavily dependent on the surrounding conditions. A person may be lauded as a philanthropist under certain circumstances, while under different conditions, the same individual could potentially resort to abhorrent behavior.

Take, for instance, certain species of birds where siblings are expelled from the nest for survival. Should we teach morality to these creatures? Would a code of ethics not lead to their extinction?

The solution to this predicament is freedom. We should allow individuals to compete and pursue their ambitions unhindered. Do not burden society with imposed ideals of morality, equality, and equity. Such impositions can potentially thwart the most productive members of society. Instead, let's cultivate an environment that fosters competition and provides opportunities for individuals to excel and reach for the stars.

The path to hell is often paved with good intentions. So, instead of burdening us with your well-meaning but potentially harmful intentions, allow our nature, refined and honed by evolution, to guide us towards progress.
