Primer: There are no moral facts.

There are no moral facts. There is only power. Morality has not existed throughout human history, and all attempts to define it have been failures.

Now, let me explain how I came to this conclusion.

Morality is an illusion. It is a social construct created by humans to control and limit other humans.

There is no inherent moral code. Morality stems from the desire of one human to control other humans, and nothing more.

At first, the powerful ruled with an iron fist. The king or queen held absolute power over life and death of those below them.

The powerful ruled by fear. Those who disobeyed the king or queen were killed, and thus it was in the interest of all to obey them.
