Purpose Of Life
To add on, Lets say someone wants to life an aesthetic life and the other person wants to live a disciplined life. The disciplined one would have more talented children, better impact on society, better lifestyle etc. But would have a horrendous and difficult life. What aesthetic is necessary. Being a drug addict is the pique of pleasure. Is it aesthetic. I mean the devil is in the details. how would you define aesthetic? If we agree that everything aesthetic has to be abhorred in favor of everything controllable and predictable, then it demands a whole new moral framework. Because the second part morality is contingent on the answer of the first part, what you do with your 24 hours.
Dear @Irfan76 My question is still there, why is being a drug/sex addict wrong? Because for addicts it is the height of pleasure. No? Is it aesthetic? If not, how do you define aesthetic, something that is horrible on yourself, like discipline? If aesthetic means something that is predictable and calculable, like orderly traffic then predictability and calculability are NOT only achieved through the TRADITIONAL moral code. Things that are considered fundamentally anti-moral can make life more predictable and orderly like killing the poor to temporarily suspend poverty, if you have sufficiently strong working class and a decent amount of industrial automation, you can safely do it, without any consequences. It would increase mean happiness in the society. Why does my aesthetic have to match yours? If not, then both of us would have separate moral codes. Ergo, we can’t live in a state together under the same judicial umbrella. Another fitting example would be that is it moral to sleep all day or toil under the sun to provide for your child. Either you suffer or the child, what is the difference, AESTHETICALLY speaking? Additionally, ease of perception merely means that a thing is predictable and calculable. It can be a non-linear order, which would appear as chaos to most, but an art work to a selected few. Does that mean that designing a non-linear robotic control system IS MORAL? lol
