Abstract
1. Good and evil are not entities, but parameters. The only
moral fact is death, and morality is the attitude towards death:
everything that leads the system to destruction is evil; everything
that overcomes the death of the system is good. The
open-question argument is removed without appeal to a naturalistic
fallacy.
2. All problems are linked to death. What does not lead
to death is not a problem. Any obstacle, barrier, difficulty, or
limit is a problem for us only if we know how it can kill us.
3. To understand death as a problem, we need a system
of tenses. Any understanding is the transfer of a real event as
an abstract symbol from the past to the future, and then the
perception of the abstract future in the real present. The only
known system that can operate with time is the human language.
Human is the only socio-cognitive system that has understood
death as a problem.
4. Ethics is a method of development.
5. The purpose of development is to overcome the problem
— to obtain freedom from the limitations of death. Beginning
with situational problems: hunger, cold, diseases, and external
threats; up to the absolute problem: death as such. Overcoming
these problems breaks Hume’s guillotine not by logic,
but by the phenomenon of will. Overcoming is a transition from
a naturally existing limit is to prescribed by a free reason ought.
6. Survival and overcoming death are not the same thing.
Survival is the avoidance of death, the selection of forms and
behaviors that allow not to face the problem. Death for Natural
Selection is a tool of development, and Death for overcoming
is a subject of development.
7. Achieving the development goal is the transition of the
system to a new qualitative state. A New World and a New
Man, free from the problem of death, will have no need for
morality and ethics.
