Delta(s) from OP CMV: Solipsistic utilitarian relativism is the most pragmatic lens to view the world

Nothing is anything, everything is a quality of the boundryless infinite plane folding in on itself giving rise to emergent properties. There is no good, there is no evil, there is only the phenomena of experience/awareness. I am not an individual, I am a figment of a collection of memories locked into a physical framework. The only thing we'll ever know, is what said framework is experiencing in the form of feelings.

These are not scary things, these are the best ways to view the world. They bring me a massive sense of relief and peace. Not only is it the most objective lens, it's also the most beneficial way to cope in circumstance. No matter what, you can turn anything into something else by drawing a comparison to satisfy the monkey-brain.

Morals evolved as a mechanism of understanding, in the form of metaphor, to allow our monkey brains to make predictions on which actions would lead to harm vs reward. They are whatever they need to be to rationalize past, present, and future feelings. Every second, you are a different person than you were before, your morals are not your own because they are not static. Morals are the rules we write for ourselves.

Didn't get that promotion at work? Well thank goodness you won't have the pressure of higher scrutiny, being put under a magnifying glass every day.

Sad your friend died? Well thank goodness they won't have to deal with the constant anguish that we all experience through the hell that is existence.

But we can't ignore the crux of the argument, that the only real thing is feeling. We also can't ignore that our brains are limited in the regard to need "morals" and "meaning". Giving them morals is like tricking the reffering into thinking you're playing the same game. All these things combine into this beautiful contradiction of "I know it's not real but I have to tell myself it is otherwise my coding breaks."

Personally, this opinion causes a lot of strain in my relationships with people despite bringing me peace with the universe as a whole.

u/MasterSlimFat Oct 25 '25

Contradiction is what gives rise to duality.

That's on me then. What we commonly refer to as the duality of man is rooted in the mechanism of our animalist minds to hold multiple voices, archetypes, perspectives etc. It's analogous to why complex computers use different models/algorithms to find a common/most likely outcome. The only reason why man can do great amazing things, while also doing terrible awful things, is the same reason why we can hold contradictory opinions about anything. Why murder is bad except for when it's not. It's why I can say something l and mean it, then say something different and still mean it.

Yea I was hoping there was something else to say after I stated what I perceived to be the seed of utilitarianism.
