What is the point of ethics in the Age of Trump?

A crucial question….

Luke Andreski

 

We are living in an age of moral ambiguity, polarized opinion, media bias and political spin. So-called fake news, disinformation and a monumental overload of data add to our confusion. How can we tell what is true or what is false in such a world? How can anyone know what is right or what is wrong?

Answering these questions is precisely the point of ethics.

It is because of questions like these at times like this that ethics needs to exist.

 

Morality first!

Morality outreaches all other frameworks of human action or thought. All human action is subject to moral assessment. No human activity or artefact can evade its moral context. Morality outreaches ideology. Morality outreaches politics. Morality outreaches even religion.

High up towards the smiling sun

In rainbow colours gaily dressed

Once loved, twice treasured and three times blessed

However short their blessed flight

Where civilisations rise and fall

And memories of our fleeting lives

Still shine like stars in timeless skies

And lives the folk of past times lived

Forever remain a timeless gift

There is no time tho’ time seems king

Of matter, space and everything

Yet all these things serve but to show

The beauty of the here and now

The Juliette Stevenson Interview:

A new cult is infesting our streets… but could it possibly be a “nice” cult?

What are cults and why are they bad? This summer a new cult came into existence: Maxus Irie, the “captivating cult of happiness and joy”. The brainchild of author and poet Luke Andreski, Maxus Irie celebrates and promotes happiness, love and joy while at the same time challenging the very notion of what a cult is.

I doorstep Luke Andreski during a conference in his local city, Bristol UK, and ask him some challenging questions about his new project. I begin by asking him, Aren’t cults fundamentally wrong-headed?

“Generally that’s the case,” Luke says as he ushers me into his quiet and studious household, “but my cult is different. Firstly, it is a fun cult, a cult which is meant to make you smile, a cult which is about nothing other…
