You are getting closer to the universal morality. Be on the side of conscious entities who will (still) exist in the future.
So you think that morality is picking a winner?

Since I disagree, we have disproved the existence of a universal moral standard.
The situation in Gaza is a humanitarian disaster. The U.S. must not provide another $10 billion to the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government to continue their war against the Palestinian people which has already killed thousands of innocent men, women, and children.
When the goal is already well understood, the problem of good and evil can be translated into problem of wisdom and ignorant. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8KMbJPaqhg
Fraud is a $5 trillion ?industry.? But not all its perpetrators look alike. Kelly Richmond Pope, a professor of accounting, breaks down who commits fraud ? and why. When we think of someone who commits fraud, we think of people like Bernie Madoff or companies like Enron: intentional perpetrators of financial crimes. But other kinds of people commit fraud, too. Accounting professor Kelly Richmond Pope explains who else falls prey to the "fraud triangle", and they might be even scarier than the big bads. 0:00 How does fraud happen?1:00 Meet Kelly Richmond Pope1:28 The Fraud Triangle2:18 Three types of fraudsters2:26 Intentional perpetrators3:50 Righteous perpetrators4:20 Accidental perpetrators5:56 And then there's Wells Fargo?
People might not realize when they are doing something immoral, or think that it's not a big deal.

There is negligible risk in religion or politics. You can destroy a country's economy in a month and retire with a prime ministerial pension, then promote your friends to the House of Lords. Or declare war and destroy other people's lives in order to boost the value of your shares and get re-elected. But woe betide you if you try to decriminalise euthanasia or do anything honorable like defending your country against an aggressor who can bankrupt you. Scum rules.
?If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.?― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

178 pages and still no universal moral standard.
A universal moral standard must be based on the achievement of universal terminal goal.
Did you know that Craigslist is one of the most popular websites in the entire world? In fact, they pull in 250 million monthly active users every single month despite having a website that looks like it hasn?t been changed in 20 years. But, all of that is by design. You see, Craiglist isn?t trying to maximize revenue and profits like every other company. Rather, they?re happy to stick with modest revenue and profits and serve the community as much as possible. This has always been the motto and mission of not just Craig Newmark but the entire Craigslist team which is only 50 people. This is largely because Craig was never even trying to create some sort of massive online marketplace. In fact, he was largely just trying to connect with people and create a social life for himself by discussing local events, hence the name ?Craig?s List?. This video tells the humbling story of Craig Newmark and Craigslist and shows one of the few examples in which money didn?t corrupt the individual.Timestamps:0:00 - The Scale Of Craigslist2:15 - Humble Beginnings5:21 - Humble Rise8:44 - Humble DominanceResources:https://pastebin.com/GzAgZa95

"Death is my exit strategy." has become one of my favorite quotes.

The true measure of civilisation is that everyone can choose how and when he dies. Regrettably, not all of us live in a civilised world.
