Supposed a gradient that begins with awareness, passes through family, tribe, Nation, State, larger groups till world conscience, Solar System inhabitant, Milky way, Local Cluster... And so on, and reversing it till microscopic or Nano, quantum, an axion or Hilbert Space, the universal wave function and all goes around... That's because we are always "in the middle" Are our enzymes loyal or patriotic to us? Mitochondrial DNA feels good to belong? When a cell turns into the wrong side, as in cancer, v. g., could you say that the cell was turned, as counterintelligence concept? 🤔 All these should be capital words? Are they? Loyalty or belonging goes all the way from one scale to the next, passing through Human Scale, augmented and, in so, reducing into the basics components...
Is there a finis terrae or we can think as Magellan and mimic an universal Ouroboros? Where lies patriotism? Just ideas...

On the other hand, Sociology, Anthropology, say, Philosophies that, as creeds, Religion or Faith are many but have something in common, all study the "stacked Platoon" or "the misfits better together". There you go.
Another prism of many.
Is questioning a flaw? Doubt seems to be a "bad juju".
At least we must agree on disagreement.
Is doubting swimming against the current and therefore, not useful to the whole?
Ethics are tools, systems, normative ways of expressing values, morality with a different "taste"... We still have Kant's Grundlehre, both Kritiks surfacing in the middle of any argument... Together with Wittgenstein, Karl Popper, Jumping into existenciailism, structuralism, Foucault and more, many compare Habermas to Derridas, Deleuse.
Posting a comment like this is arrogance or Hubris? What is the measure of humanity? Happiness, wealth, discipline, following the seasons, purpose, being humble enough not to post such a vague statement? Two posts is a very bad day? Not exercising is a form of suicidal behavior? Should I go on on post or copy and erase, pasting it on personal notes? I guess I should have. Congrats to turn a dangerous debate into a fulfilling conversation....a distraction 😏
