The one hundred thirty first. Daily dose of not so wise quotes:"The internet, a nightmare of humanity. Yes you were already aware of that. This is nothing new, but the reasons can be new. Or you can be reminded of them. My greatest reason is the naked judgement that can be given. That everyone has the ability to judge others with their own standards. You didn't ask for the judgement, some make it their job to hunt the innocent to make themselves righteous. The internet is the greatest tool for self-righteousness. And we all hate self-righteous people."

The one hundred thirtieth. Daily dose of not so wise quotes:"I once again came to realise I experience both sides of the American political spectrum here. And it is fascinating and disturbing at the same time. Fascinating because the algorithm doesn't know anything about me, and my persona here doesn't reflect what I truly am. Disturbing because I get to see AI Slop with the orange dude and who does not dislike him. People who have been charmed by him. Charmed how? Good you ask. You shall soon come to know."

The one hundred twenty fifth. Daily dose of not so wise quotes:"We can never make a perfect picture of a being much greater than us. We can't explain something completely unknown to us. We can't explain omnipotence because we never experienced it, yes we can make educated guesses, but that's everything."

The one hundred twenty third. Daily dose of not so wise quotes:"Someday my words will recreate me. Someday everything I have made come online of me might be able to be me, unless everything I come to say is nothing but pretense. But even worse it could be both. I could tell both truth and lie in one sentence. Everything I made could be part of me and both a different me. When will they be able to make a copy of me?"

The one hundred twenty second. Daily dose of not so wise quotes:"I am just a servant to my mind, a pawn to my ideas, a vessel for my hopes and a slave for my dreams. I am not free, I imprisoned myself in me to endure myself. I will never break free from my body, the cage of my mind or is it the best tool my mind can get?"

The one hundred twenty first. Daily dose of not so wise quotes:"Today I thought about universes as sets.

The baseline: a universe contains all information inside of it. With all the information I mean from the beginning to the end of the universe, when there is one. We consider every single moment. A moment is the smallest downgrade of time that is possible. Means a moment is basically infinitely close to zero while not being zero. A universe contains subsets. The subsets are all the information for one moment. So even when the universe doesn't contain infinite information. We will have infinite moments of finite information. So a universe is a set containing infinite subsets with finite information. Making the cardinality infinity.

Now consider a multiverse containing every possible universe, speaking every possible set.

And here comes my thought: what about an empty universe, speaking of an empty set. What would be the properties of this universe? Would it be an endless list of empty sets? Or is the universe itself an empty set. How does this universe handle time. Is there even time if nothing changes? Can an empty universe even exist?

I know just one thing finding it and entering it would end would change it forever."

The one hundred twentieth. Daily dose of not so wise quotes:"So now onto the third level. This one gets subclasses which you'll soon see.

The morals of those who reside at the peak. First what type of peak? I found three by now. The peak of riches, power and knowledge. We probably have for now a peak of riches.

I will explain in another episode what these peaks mean beside their initial meaning.

The moral framework I thought of is quite simple. Those people have resources more than anyone else and those who have should give. They should use what they have to help others while also being admirable.

There is a term, even though old and maybe has a rather unliked connotation, noblesse oblige, meaning more or less the more fortunate should help the less fortunate.

I know people will get arrogant when they're better than most. Having much shouldn't be forbidden, but succumbing to greed should be condemned.

A person belonging to the peak should only use intrinsic morals because they have the resources to make sure nothing bad happens. They should do good because they do good for the sake of doing good, nothing else.

When you have the resources to ensure the outcome then the only thing that matters is the intention.

Sadly for everyone to follow this I would have to reconstruct society and reteach humanity, but we all know this may never happen."

The one hundred nineteenth. Daily dose of not so wise quotes:"First I misphrased something in the last part. Why? Because I am goddamn stupid and it was late at night and I didn't have the energy to correct myself now and then. So what did I do? Instead of beggar I should have used homeless person. In my mind if more or less conveyed the same point, but yes if we look at the definition and criticise every little word, yes then the semantic matter.

Now that's out of the way. Morals of level 2. The morals for a person who's well established in society and has reached a stable position, but who isn't a ruler, or in any specific position of power. A everyday person.

Congrats you reached level 2! Ready for responsibilities? No? Sadly you have to deal with them. As a person who has no danger in losing its place in society your first and foremost responsibility is to help those who are less fortunate than you if you have the time and resources to do so. It doesn't necessarily need to be something big, just donating for a good cause would be enough. Besides that I would say for most of the time your morals should be defined by intention as the outcome for things which matter are too big for yourself to control. Do good because you think the action is good itself even without knowing its outcome.

For the person of the second level I would just recommend Kant's moral philosophy. I think it excells at every day stuff.

Or does it? Because I would allow one exception: White lies. Kant values the truth above everything else. But we all know lying is polite. Also if a small lie would protect people, you're allowed to lie. But you will never be allowed to lie for personal gain.

And yes it may seem I contradict myself, which I probably do, but hey the human itself is a being which contradicts itself all the time (if wanted I will do an episode why this is so).

So hey please remind me if my wording seems out of place. I don't want semantic issues. Really I don't want any."

The one hundred eighteenth. Daily dose of not so wise quotes:"So now to the first level of morals.

The morals of a beggar. A beggar clearly is part of society and therefore has the obligation to be morally good or develop morals, but he isn't in a stable position. Such a person's first priority should be to stabilise the position by means that can be justified. A beggar has a minimum of morals to uphold, but you wouldn't expect self sacrificing acts from him. If he steals, he will do it out of necessity and not bad will. Of course he will try everything to fit your standards of morals, but he knows he can't always meet them. For such a person the outcome and the intention more or less match. He does something that he has in mind for the reasons of being alive, and being alive shouldn't be a crime neither should be the wish of being alive a crime. The beggar is aware that stealing is bad (generally), he will probably feel guilty, but he also knows he'd regret it far more to die. So please let us excuse him for his unfortunate position and let us help him stabilise his position so that he won't have the need anymore to steal.

On the first level you're aware of your mortality and morality. You know exactly what is right and wrong, but I think the life given is far more precious than being good as people who are far more fortunate than oneself. I excuse these people because I know I wouldn't choose different in their position. And I think feeling bad is a punishment enough for them. Of course the wrongness is only justified when they have no other choice (active) and it either leads directly to a stabilisation or their immediate survival. For example killing for food wouldn't be allowed, but secretly stealing it maybe more.

I hope you understand my idea."
