• Philosophical Ramblings #14: A Rejection of Morality
  July 21, 2026

  Every ethical situation presents a demand to choose. This demand, the necessity of choosing between alternatives, of taking a stand, is what makes it an ethical situation at all. Not choosing is itself a choice, but one made passively, without the burden of active deliberation.

  The obsessive construction of moral frameworks arises from a desire to abdicate this burden. Each ethical confrontation places a weight on the chooser: one must choose, and one must live with that choice forever. The responsibility is unsharable and permanent. To escape this, the individual creates or adopts, a moral framework. Then one says: ‘I did what is right’. The framework becomes a screen: responsibility is displaced from the individual onto an anonymous abstraction called “morality,” where it is diluted and depersonalised. The individual no longer stands behind a choice as its author, but hides behind a pre-approved category.

  Following a moral framework is a choice made by proxy. The framework chooses in one’s stead. The decision was already settled before the situation arose, not because the agent reflected and resolved, but because the framework had already classified the kind of situation and prescribed the correct response. This is the deepest abdication: not the refusal to act, but the refusal to bear the weight of acting as oneself.

  And then Ljot woke up later that night, it was all just a dream, Ljot is nothing and will always be nothing, but that doesn’t mean its bad, there is no ego left, there are no friends left, it was my own choice and I am satisfied, there was nothing ever there in the first place.
