morality

You might not be surprised to hear that this video originally was a good bit more...involved in the current discourse. I pulled it up out of the weeds a little bit, but the reason I started wanting to write it is that feel like the use of morality as a way of controlling people has become much more powerful than the use of morality to help people order their lives and society better. Like, we have a president who has been openly unfaithful to every wife he's ever had, but to many he's seen as a moral actor because he promises to control people in ways that feel like a moral imperative to some people.
don't like it!
But as I got into the subject realized that perhaps it is worth saying that this project here and this community has a deep morality. this as "values" but perhaps it is time to own our morality.to take it back, and to be proud of it.
