We need to transform our society away from what is 'morally correct' to what is 'ethically correct'.
This will, in turn, change what is determined to be a 'legal entitlement'.
Our current civilisation is on a path to extinction. We must change, or face extinction.
What is 'moral', and what is 'ethical', is NOT exclusively synonymous.
Synonym discussion: moral ethical virtuous righteous noble mean conforming to a standard of what is right and good. moral implies conformity to established sanctioned codes or accepted notions of right and wrong <the basic moral values of a community>. ethical may suggest the involvement of more difficult or subtle questions of rightness, fairness, or equity <committed to the highest ethical principles>. virtuous implies moral excellence in character <not a religious person, but virtuous nevertheless>. righteous stresses guiltlessness or blamelessness and often suggests the sanctimonious <wished to be righteous before [one or more deities] and the world>. noble implies moral eminence and freedom from anything petty, mean, or dubious in conduct and character <had the noblest of reasons for seeking office>.
The definitions between these two terms have become blurred by some individuals, for usually either religious / political reasons, or through ignorance / laziness (generalization).
As I had stated previously; we must transform from what is deemed to be right / wrong, to what is actually correct / incorrect. Also, since we were ALL incorrect in our fundamental understanding of the Universe (whether we were / are religious or whether we were / are not religious), we need to re-think Philosophy as a whole. This is the true meaning and intent of 'ethics', whereas 'morals' are often (but not always) based in religious thought.
'Rights' are earned through responsible behaviour. Quite often, many of these so-called 'rights', which are automatically granted, are the incorrect behaviour(s).
You have chosen complacency. You have chosen a path to extinction.
Complacency is no longer an option.
I didn't say they were synonymous, dumdum, I said ethics are based upon morals. In the same way a word is based upon language.
I don't see a reason to continue this. You make mistakes and don't acknowledge them, you don't read responses properly, you're still deluded and think you know some 'universal truth' the superior alien beings informed you of. This undermines any credibility you otherwise might have as someone seeking a fundamental understanding of the universe.
You sound like a preacher delivering a street-side sermon to whomever might pass by, but your congregation of 'people who happen to be outside' simply see a crazy man warning of impending doom.
PLEASE refrain from incorrectly 'correcting' me. In fact, please refrain from speaking to me altogether. I gain nothing from it.
I do not "know some universal truth", but I did work and learn for nearly forty years to understand the Actual Nature of the Universe. I now understand this truth, albeit at a very basic level.
I am NOT "deluded". I strive to be an Ethical and Enlightened creature.
The VHATC-L2 (which I think that you are alluding to) are NOT "superior", although they are very much more advanced than we are. We are, very much, quite primitive, by comparison to them, but they are trying to help us. Unfortunately, some humans choose to continue to act in a selfish, greedy and stubborn way.
They did not 'inform' me of these things. I worked very hard to learn these things, although they have helped me to understand some aspects of things which I was unaware of or mistaken of. They do not volunteer information, but they will inform me of such things as, 'my conception of the Level 2 Universe is incorrect, but is conceptually close to the actual formation'.
I am NOT a "preacher".
I am NOT warning of "impending doom", but I am advocating urgent corrective action.

But what is 'ethically correct' is based entirely on what is 'morally correct'.
You cannot have ethics without morals.
And I disagree with you. I don't think we are necessarily on any such path. Ism, ist, ism, ist, right, wrong, white, wong.

Ethics have become corrupted by morals.
I do not "know some universal truth", but I did work and learn for nearly forty years to understand the Actual Nature of the Universe. I now understand this truth, albeit at a very basic level.
I am NOT "deluded". I strive to be an Ethical and Enlightened creature.
