what I mean with the word “amorality,”, A Human Strategy, Matt Berry, aphorism 270
270
If the reader truly understands what I mean with the word “amorality,” then the reader will understand that the choice of this word is of the least importance, while that which I attempt to represent is of the greatest. There is a problem with morality: that is, there are two claims to the throne. The usurper has crowned himself and laid down his self-serving laws, appropriating the title, “Morality.” He is widely known by this name and has gained the approval of the entire realm, so that when the rightful claimant speaks of his private realm, and the laws pertaining to it, also under the name of “Morality,” no one understands. They presume the definition as set by the usurper’s culture, by which they either defend or attack.
We rightful claimants must find a new name — one which suggests our honest claim and direct descent from sovereign nature — one which suggests that our private laws are not built upon the same cornerstone as that of the public laws ... so that when we finish our castle no one is surprised that its form does not meet public expectation. We claim a personal and immediate relationship with nature ... natural laws governing a natural health. They themselves, in their public perspective, think of this as a sort of “physician’s prescription” — “scientific” — “Amoral.” We do not quibble, for we love nature’s own morality, and care nothing for the titles under which we are to rule ourselves ... so long as we rule ourselves.
