Morality
[Morality is mostly sexual no-nos as Leary pointed out, created by the Church Suppressing sexuality. The enforced monogamy is a case in point, when man was created celibate, monogamous, triadic, expanded, and polygamous. 1 ]
I regard "ideology" and "morality" as the two most dangerous forces on this
planet. About "ideology" I have expressed my suspicions elsewhere; here I will
only mention John Adams's verdict that shortening "ideology" to "idiocy" would
save some space and add a great deal to clarity. He had the French Revolution
in mind, but "ideologists" haven't changed much since then, have they?
.....As for "morality" -- or "moralic acid" as Nietzsche called it -- I consider
it the major cause of almost all the major atrocities not caused by
"ideology." This wonderful invention, "morality," allows people -- normal,
ordinary people -- to do things so cruel and violent that they could never
bring themselves to do them for selfish reasons. What the sociopath and sadist
do for fun, the "moralist" does on behalf of "duty" or "justice." "Morality," today, allows Moslems to stone women to death, as it once
fuelled the Christian witch-hunts. "Morality" has excused every war, and
glorified some of them. "Morality" constantly plots to subvert the
Constitutional guarantee of free speech. "Morality" inspires gay-bashing and
the bombing of women's clinics. Why, without "morality" we might all suddenly
go stark staring sane.
....My vision of Utopia would include a hell of a lot more kindness and mercy
than we have now, and a hell of a lot less "morality.'
Wilson, Robert Anton
