Ok so I need to think up a system of morality which works with my system limitations: small memory, single thread, high speed. I need fast completion, black and white. The systems of morality I learned and obeyed to the letter were all about the other, and I need to ensure that the 'real system' is built grounds up from fundamental principles according to the system environment.

So I think brain chemistry is everything. All evil comes from ignorance, which is just the clouds obscuring your real intention. Your real intention could be evil by my standards byut that is moot; any morality is subjective. And actually what I'm targeting is objevtive morality... 

so...

Is intention to optimise longitudinal brain chemistry for the maximum number of people?

Important - Weight 'people' value according to closeness and vulnerability, and remember this changes with time. Weight yourself as 1. 

Maybe 3 people in your life can be >1. It's selfish, but it isn't really. If my brain chemistry is fucked then I'm gonna fuck yours up too. In this sytem I am morally obliged to be nice to myself. 

This is also societal karma. The contagion of emotion. Positive feeding positive and negative feeding negative. Right now I'm taking a break to work on my own chemistry so I can better deal with things, is all.

Everything seems downstream. All kindness and generosity. It all comes as a result of brain chemistry.

I've opened a can of worms by thinking about whether people have the right to tell someone to suck it and deal with their brain state in this day and age.

Sure - in the past you had to work hard to overcome shitty chemistry. 20 years of meditation. 

Now? 620 yen a month for the big one, for me.

So maybe it's time for a new morality which prioritises brain chemistry. And I'm not talking about some kind of 'woke' bullshit. I mean like... actually it's an old morality. We are going back to what the Buddha taught again,

Mind comes first. Intention before all. Ignorance can scupper this but anyway. Intention.

If people are happier they are nicer. They have better intentions. It's that simple. If you want to make people nicer, you make them happier. And how do you make them happier?

620 yen a month.

I'm joking. That's me. But everyone who is out there causing problems to society is doing it because of brain chemisty (even if that chemistry is because of a tangible problem like hunger) so the priority should be fixing that chemisty (with things like food).

So this is just a seed I'm planting since I've realised that even though I've merged western and eastern morality throughout the course of my life, they've always been 'society first'. 

But maybe the most society-first approach, now that we have the medicines we do, is to use AI to figure out what ails people and then give them a free tailored brain chemistry cocktail to make them into a happy little chappie. If they want it of course. Horse, water, drink.

And that would reduce violent crime by... 95% overnight? I don't know. Feels like a lot. Feels cheaper than current solutions. Probably not as profitable.

Anyway. Seed. Planted.
