My nephew wants to talk about how to find some moral bearing in the many confusing narratives of the phenomena of our experience. I told him that morality and rationality seem similar to me. They are both what emerges within a community of like-minded thinkers sharing their perspectives. Those things exists only within the narratives of those communities. Whether those communities persists depends on the benefit their narratives convey to the members of those communities. We will talk tomorrow.

Nostrs, let us continue to share and allow those things which will benefit us to emerge.

How old is he?

You comment reminded me of the USBCSA, better known as the Shakers, a religious community which began in the 18th century, spreading via proselytism, espousing ideas and artistic tendencies 2 centuries "ahead of their time", but ultimately dwindling down to 2 members as of 5 years ago. As proselytism slowed, one of their particular tenets, celibacy, ensured whatever virtuous facets (subjectively measured, of course) of the community would cease to be reproduced.

Moral, perhaps, but not self-sustaining.
