Having caught a glimpse of those things our ancestors would have called evil... they seem to me something unknowable, so strange and alien in their very nature they're incomprehensible to humans. They don't feel "evil" to me as much as "indifferent to the plight of humanity" as in they have a different type of morality... much as our actions toward those things like insects and "lower life".
Quoting: Bea Nameless Morality is morality, it does not vary in type. An indifference to the plight of humanity means that whatever entities you encountered are prioritizing their own needs over another group of spirited/soul vessels, humans, which is immoral. We are very different from animals, although housed in an animal shell, and still subject to instincts, we can choose differently. Moral relativism is a concerted centuries long disinformation campaign. Agreed, but what would you do if a colony of ants set up shop in your home. Would you smash it, spray it or nurture it? Do we not prioritize our needs above those we consider lesser every single day? Is that evil? Is that moral? I'm not defending things that think of me as an ant, by the way... I'm just positing something very real. Because of our biological makeup, we constantly destroy life to feed our own. This entire system is set up so one thing feeds on another. How are we moral and good when we do the same thing? It's all about range and scale. I think what you're getting at is that the universe is predatory in nature. Killing something to survive isn't 'immoral' in my view. Even packs of predators pick off the weak when they hunt. Is this done because of efficiency or is there some sort of instinctual understanding that the food source they prefer needs to be protected in some way? It is in interesting question to be sure. But I don't think it relates to what 'evil' is made up of. 'Evil' is recognizable, IMO, precisely because it IS corrosive spiritually and physically. It is self destructive for oneself and any sustainable system. It is irrational and self defeating in the long run...yet the user gets immediate self gratification in the short term.
