[-empyre-] empyre Digest, Vol 62, Issue 9 (number one) we have lost our ability to even begin thinking about right and wrong.

[Manning]

Žižek has it where he says that morality is a notion of what is good and
what is evil, measured by the simple application of do unto others etc.
Ethics is the fidelity you have to your own desires. If we then overlay
a bit of Rortian pragmatism on this attitude and make sure we do not
possess a 'final' vocabulary and ensure that our efforts are that nobody
gets hurt, that's a good start for me. We then drop the right/wrong
binary in search for what works for us without unnecessarily impeding
others.
