Bitch, it's dry over here. Come to me! Why are you just standing there?
I think thats too pedantic of an interpretation (surprising, considering my name lol).
I don't really agree that something we'd recognize as a moral system could form in a vacuum.
If someone's morals diverge significantly from the culture they're embedded in, I see three avenues for them:
- Find a subculture or external culture to join to help galvanize the shame into resolve
- Adjust your moral system to align with the culture
- Sociopathy
Even in your extreme example, I think that only sociopaths could "go it alone", and that the people who did disagree with their culture often did so knowing that they weren't alone in that belief.
But really you're putting way to much thought into a shitpost.
What do you think that morals are, if not societal expectations? Lots of cultures disagree about what is moral and what isn't, and people from those cultures have adopted those morals by being raised in those cultures.
If people in those cultures stop caring if others within their own culture perceive their actions as moral, then society devolves into chaos. Maybe sociopathy would have been a better word than narcissism (although I am not a psychologist); a society of primarily sociopaths cannot survive.
Thats a real narcissistic take.
Society can't function if people don't check in to see if you're following the expectations of society. You can bend or break some expectations, but if people don't even check, then society collapses.
Hell yeah!
I wonder where Schitts Creek would fall
This is just "death of the author"
Ultimate IMO, the audience is free to determine the meaning of something, but they're not free to pronounce that the author intended such a meaning.
I once watched Singham, and when the credits rolled I thought
Oh that was short, I thought Indian movies were typically quite long!
It was the opening credits.
Yes, I was very high. My friends had to pause the movie because they were laughing so hard.
I commend your bravery and will mourn your loss
Drilling bottom?
Alright, where can I get some???
If getting what we want makes us happy
And what we want is to be sad
Then are we happy or sad?
