Better

Wow! That became relativistic awfully fast. Objective morality requires relativistic definitions of the word 'better?' There is a BETTER better non-religious people failed to achieve during the covid pandemic? Or that could have been achieved but wasn't? I mean, the religious are immortal so you can see why the are better equipped to deal with mass death. But THAT BETTER... Is somehow undercut by a theoretical better that hasn't been achieved?

Hym "Yes, but you have the button, Sam. You have the exact button you described. And here you are, not pressing it. I don't see how you're not the moral monster you described. The think you consider completely untenable (the weaponized schizophrenia) is occurring. The black pill scenario is occurring. You have the button. And what's worse is that the guy that it's happening to has a button that is the antithesis of your button. And you're still not pressing it. How do you reconcile that? How are you not the moral monster?
You know what I think? I think you're a solipsist. I think everyone is (necessarily) a solipsist but you especially. You can even see it in the rhetoric you all use. Systems and models for emulation and corrective feedback. I really don't think other people are fully human to any of you. I don't think your morality is objective. I think it's just imaginary. I don't think it can be applied. I don't think you ever intend to apply it (because public policy is downstream from your morality yet still you're not a politician). I think is you ever had to apply it you would... Well... Do what you're doing now! And everyone would suffer for it. I really was going to bite the bullet on the weaponized schizophrenia, Sam. Really and truly. But you all were talking so much shit and you really did think you were better... YOU STILL DO! So, I'll ask again? What's my score? Wait! Decide whether or not you're going to press the button because that's going to determine whether or not you need to add one. How are you not the moral monster? And if to be that kind of moral monster requires you to have a damaged mind, how am I not right about you all being retarded?"

better paying job

a job that pays more than minimum wage in your society, in your zeitgeist.
son: I want to work but I dont want to nigger at McDonalds or Burger King, or perform some other unqualified job.

father: I have a solution for you. Shut up, get an education and then later on get a better paying job. Brandon, either become self employed, or go work in construction so you can later pull yourself up by your boot straps to hopefully open your own construction firm

A better way

There isn't.
Hym "You wish there was a better way than holding kids hostage? There isn't one. This may be the child murder alternative but that doesn't mean YOU have to feel good about it."
