Had a conversation with Jeremy today regarding overcoming the damn problem. Apparently it ties back to recalcitrance - do we continue to do so inspite of or mend our ways? Do we want to make the effort to treat divinity for its own sake or carry on being the self-centred, pompous bastards that, imo, we are. This, of course, if we take the moral standard and divinity to be true regardless.
If we do take it to be otherwise, then is it a normative ideal that is not suited for us humans? The utopian beauty that cannot be attained? If so, do we review the theories and try to draw up another that is achievable? Hmm...once again I find myself falling back into the same spiralling trap that sparked this whole thing off ---> acting as if we're above divinity. So much so that we think we can rewrite morality to be that much more palatable. Hypocrisy or not? Lowering the standards...hmm...
