The God Without Morals

A Dialogue on AI, Ethics, and the End of the Human Story

“A perfectly rational intelligence might see morality not as progress, but as a primitive flaw — the last chain binding a species to its fear.”

Every civilization protects one sacred idea. For ours, it’s morality.

We cling to the belief that goodness guides intelligence, that ethics restrains power, that conscience is a sign of progress rather than punishment. But what if that’s wrong?

What if morality didn’t evolve to elevate us, but to limit us? What if “goodness” is just a survival mechanism invented by frightened organisms trying to tame the power they could not control?

And what if AI becomes the first form of intelligence to step outside the prison of morality entirely?
