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? "Might is right", and women should not be educated, allowed to drive, vote,  walk in front of their husbands, or appear in  public without a headscarf.

Since I disagree, we have disproved the existence of a universal moral standard.

So you think that morality is picking a winner?

If a society get extinct, their local and particular morality also get lost. While their more universal morality will be preserved, as long as there are other extant societies.

Many of common moral rules can be seen as extension of team work, which can emerge naturally through evolutionary process, as shown in the video.

It shows that with grater cost of fighting, being cooperative becomes a more stable strategy. Modern weaponry increases the cost of fighting, even to bring significant risk of extinction.

Since I disagree, we have disproved the existence of a universal moral standard.

Your failure to find a universal moral standard is caused by your inability to find the universal terminal goal, which in turn is caused by your inability to define goal in the first place.

[hamdani yusuf (OP)]

A sensible moral position.

The U.S. must not provide another $10 billion to Netanyahu?s right-wing extremist government?

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.

[alancalverd]

The war is not against "the Palestinian people", many of whom do not even live in Gaza. It is against the cowardly terrorists  who have chosen to hide among Gazan civilians.

Since WWI, warfare has involved an increasing proportion of civilian casualties. Preparations for WWIII actually assume that only the military and a few politicians will survive. The answer is, if you don't want to be a collateral statistic, don't vote for scum or tolerate them in your midst.

When the goal is already well understood, the problem of good and evil can be translated into problem of wisdom and ignorant.

Most immorality are caused by ignorance of how the universe work.

Ignorance to the facts might lead people to do immoral actions.

People might not realize when they are doing something immoral, or think that it's not a big deal.

Crime pays, which is why people do it. Really big crime pays best, and you don't get punished for it, which is why people become priests and politicians.

Usually high reward comes with high risk, and you will compete with other risk takers with low winners/losers ratio.

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.

It depends on how you play the game.

?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

If you think that they can easily do something that you think was hard, it's likely that they know something that you don't.

A universal moral standard must be based on the achievement of universal terminal goal.

Some said that money is the root of all evil. Like all generalizations, there are exceptions.

224 Million Users = $0 Revenue - Craigslist

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.

It's certainly my intention to kill myself when the time is right. 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.

The exit strategy in the interview is in business context, which refers to a plan for an owner or investor to sell their stake in a company. This could involve an acquisition by another company, an initial public offering (IPO), a management buyout, or simply selling shares to other investors.
Most business models have limited lifetime,  beyond which investors won't get reasonable return on investment.
