INTRODUCTION

All that matters in life is our desires and how our desires alter the desires, and their reachability, of others’.

Morality should be a decision-making system that maximizes the desires of all who have the capacity to desire, with included, those who are affected by the decision of moral question. Every question that alters the desires of anyone other than yourself, is a moral question. Moral decisions are not intended to only benefit the individual who decides.

Those who are affected by the decision of the moral question, should have their desires factored into the decision. The degree to which each individual is factored should correlate to the ratio that the decision alters their desires.

The desire to not die, outweighs all other desires because desires cannot be held without survival. The desire to reproduce, leads to increase in individuals that have a capacity to desire. It also prevents extinction of desire altogether. Excess reproduction doesn’t aid in the survival of desires and may harm the desires of many.

The potential impact that an individual has on the desires of other creatures, increases moral value of that individual. Desires are all that matters. The concept of “what matters” is based and defined by desires. If we desire to eat meat, it eliminates the desires of the animals of meat. This erases all potential for future desires in that animal. Including equivalent desires such as eating food. If you decide that your desires matter more than another for an arbitrary reason, then others may decide and deem your values as lesser also for arbitrary reasons. A reason is arbitrary when it has no logical connection to the value in question.

Your desires can matter more than another, if your desires have increased the quality of life for more people, or to a greater degree than the other has.

Conflict of desires can actually exist both internally with the self and externally in a socialized decision making way. Our own decision making on an individual level is similar to our decision making on a social level. Internally we may want to finish watching a TV show and simultaneously want to use the bathroom for relief. We cannot choose both under normal circumstances so we choose one of our conflicting desires.

If someone socially wishes someone dead, we must at least factor the human who dies and the human who is desiring to kill. If the human who desires the other dead doesn’t face death as a consequence of not killing the other, then it is immoral to kill them.

Death abolishes all potential desires. We cannot desire food while dead. So we must factor the quantity of desires that the individual who dies will miss out on and contrast it with the quantity of desires that the killer misses out on if it doesn’t fulfill its desire to kill. The killer would only lose out on whatever reason he desires to kill. Let’s say it wants to kill for food for the taste pleasure. It loses out on taste pleasure, but still can experience sexual joy and many potentially fulfill-able desires. Losing temporary taste euphoria vs all potential temporary taste euphoria, sexual euphoria, and every possible desire, since being dead doesn’t allow for any desires to be met or even had.

So if these two individuals exist mutually, they must weigh which loss is worse, and only have bias towards the one who has more moral potential.

Another issue, is that we also tend to favor our own well-being more than a stranger’s well-being. For example, most people will favor their family over strangers. Favoring your family has many biases and selfish intention though, especially on a global scale. We are selfish. and we mutually agree about being selfish. But selfishness isn’t really a moral factor. Because morality is almost entirely about how we interact with other conscious creatures. If we are alone on the planet, with no other conscious entities to interact with, it doesn’t matter what our behavior is, we simply act as we desire.

THE CLAIMS

Morality could be objective. We can place moral value on subjective feelings of individuals and not so much the causes of them. The causes can be manipulated in order to alter the feelings of individuals. For objective morality we simply look at the objective feelings of each person individually and choose who’s feelings matter more based on how the outcome of that individual’s feelings impacts the feelings of other people, so we must favor the most impactful individuals over the lesser impactful, especially if we can predict the individual to fully utilize their moral power. Morality can be a system of socialized feeling management.
