well, morality is always the worship of certain system assuming that this system is some kind of ultimate good.


For example, if we look into bible god created word perfect but humans ruined it by their incompetence, and if only everyone were doing their work properly everything would be great.

capitalists claim the same, that it is the perfect system but pesky humans corrupted it with all that government welfare and corporations.

This system gives you the meaning of life making you part of something greater and also describes to you how you should live your life to serve it properly.

Usually, the system is also our creator because all technology and wealth we have now is the product of capitalism and all of that is built on countless deaths and suffering of billions of people who got absolutely nothing for all their suffering.

If we go even deeper, our existence itself is a result of evolution which is by itself an infinite string of most cruel deaths and suffering which will continue until evolution will not be stopped.

Of course, I do not suggest to freak out and start fighting capitalism or evolution but for the start, we have to admit that we are the product of evil and we should not think on how to perpetuate the evil but rather think about changing it by taking everything in our own hands instead of leaving it to the nature, market god or whatever else.

For example compare it with global warming where the current idea is to stop CO2 emissions to preserve nature, instead of developing climate engineering plans to take control over nature entirely. or trying to preserve endangered species in their natural environment instead of preserving their DNA or creating artificial environments where they could live now controlled by humans and not by nature.

If we agree to stop worshiping our creator we can think about better alternatives.
Cynicism and nihilism are only applicable to the idea of worshiping the system, as cynicism is a simply sarcastic outlook to the reality that "yeah good luck with that nonsense I am not participating." and nihilism is just "Who cares"
But if you are given the ability to participate in the creation of your own system you naturally cannot have that kind of attitude unless you simply say "I don't want to exist" if you want to exist you have to define your own existence somehow.
