Bruce (as paraphrased by MLK, Jr.)... actually, my personal feeling is that the arc of the moral universe is long and bends toward incoherence. We who aspire to the folly of universal morality inherit the legacy of Sysyphus. Our task is objectively impossible, subjectively delusional, but nonetheless indefatigable. We give meaning to our existence only through our efforts to shape the universe into a mold we recognize as justice.
