bereft of meaning. Because if there is no ultimate Truth-Teller (as with saying, “your truth” and “my truth”), there simply IS no right or wrong behavior. Sure, it may be against the rules, but there is no actual good and no actual bad–no right, and no wrong. There are only procedural wrongs, not things that are wrong in se.
ALL is mere preference. One fares according to the management of one’s self; every person prospers according to his or her genius, and every person conquers according to his or her strength. And certainly, whatever a person does has no actual moral valence! Morality actually doesn’t exist!
And neither does Truth. And therefore, Science. There is ONLY desire or preference, and the brute power to satisfy those desires and preferences! ALL claims to knowledge are merely a gambit, standing in the place of what is real–power.
The strong do what they want. The weak do what they must.
THIS is the Gospel of Bill Maher. Kinda desolate, eh? It IS Post-Modernism! It truly IS a banal atheism. It is Nihilism on steroids.
It is purely a reversion to a Nietzschian will-to-power.
You’re a long way from home… Welcome to the Post-Modern Pleasure Dome.
