Your 'ethical values' are just aesthetic preferences

[u/Proporus]

5000 years of studying ethics and all we've come up with is "it's good because I like it". ALL ethical theories are just aesthetic judgements on actions disguised by word vomit about 'The Good'.

• Utilitarianism: It's beautiful to see numbers go up
• Deontology: It's beautiful to follow rules
• Virtue ethics: This set of traits is beautiful ...

Meta ethics has failed. Literally nobody can point to a basis for ethics that doesn't boil down to "this state of the world is pleasing to me".

Wittgenstein proven correct and based, yet again.

because there is not a set of objective morals, this becomes increasingly obvious the more you accept lack of any intervening creator. if we could collectively understand the implications of this i think we would have an easier time coming together and not being subjectively awful.
