Moderation And Ethics

 

If moderation rules mostly (some immoderation must be added) over the field of moral behavior, then people should be individuators that individual-live most of the time, and group-live a minority of the time. Then their ethics will be egoism-altruism rather than altruism-egoism.

 

Another moderate advantage to this way of doing morality is that when people primarily individual-live, then, in a society of individuators, none will worry very much about their group affiliations.

 

This will automatically push most people away from limited, traditional altruistic morality, by which people are collectivist, nonindividuating and kind only to insiders, treating outsiders as subhuman, strangers and enemies to be dealt with, often in ways that would be unacceptable to how insiders in one’s group are treated ethically.

 

When all are egoist individuators, in effect, all are outsiders, and insiders only in their own group of one inhabitant. This brings moderate, non-compartmentalized, higher moral standards to bear, since all are outsiders, then all treat all as if they were cherished, familiar insiders, so no longer are only insider joiners treated with courtesy and kindness.
