Elon Musk: “Might Doesn’t Make Right — and Neither Does Weakness. Morality Must Be Absolute.”

Elon Musk: ‘Might makes right’ was flipped to ‘Weaker makes right.’ But neither is true.

“Through most of history, the operating principle has been might makes right. Up until modern times, if you were stronger, you were right. Now, we've flipped it to if you're weaker, you're right.

But neither is true. There is rightness independent of strength or weakness. Just because somebody's strong doesn't mean they're right. And just because somebody's weak doesn't mean they're right. You have to look at morals in the absolute.”
