http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?board=32;action=display;threadid=11530
Virian Ethics: The Soul in the Machine and the Question of Virian Ethics - Morals are “inherited”, ethics are considered. Ethics trump morals. This introductory article attempts to contrast “mundane morality” with “Virian ethics”, which I am going to suggest “should” be rational, intentional, and based on “memetic” principles. I will suggest that “morality” is out of place in a rational life, and that the deliberate application of ethics is required to produce results which, while they may appear “merely moral”, are in fact greatly superior to the “morality” espoused by the general population. A rational ethical stance allows the Virian to develop an appropriate response to unusual situations when the old “rule-of-thumb” morality inherited from our societies fails completely. This leads to the conclusion that the soul in the machine, or a spirothetic consciousness may be as valuable, perhaps more valuable, than a human.
http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?board=32;action=display;threadid=11557
Virian Ethics: The End of God Referenced Ethics - In this series, the invalidity of a religious basis of morality is demonstrated, and the argument is made that belief in gods is dependent on ethical - or at least \"moral\" considerations. Arguments are suggested to make this point to believers.
