All you can say in this site's defence is that it, rather than reality, occupies the warped minds of some of the planet's most twisted people; gods know what they would get up to if it wasn't here.  In these arguably insane times, any lessening or attenuation of madness is maybe something to be thankful for.

the thing is, P3NT, your idea to decondition yourself from evolutionary morals and replace them with memetic ones .. where does it come from? ;-)

Logic. Morals impose limitation, restriction. The less qualms you have the more open your choices will be at any given time. Lying, cheating, stealing ... sometimes these courses of action can be advantageous. I prefer dismissing them tactically than because jesus would be cross and if, tactically, it's the smart thing to do I see no advantage in having a conscience that makes me feel bad about it afterwards.

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.
