Mystrikast — Meta-Ethics: A Mystrikal Perspective

What if morality did not fall from the sky, but still was not “anything goes”?

In this episode, we dive into Meta-Ethics – A Mystrikal Perspective — a deep but down-to-earth tour of what morality actually is, how we justify “right” and “wrong,” and where Mystrikism plants its flag in the messy landscape between moral realism and “it is all just opinion.”

We unpack key ideas like moral realism, objective morality, and moral rationalism in plain language first, then pivot into the Mystrikal stance: morality is subjectively grounded yet methodologically objective. Our values and aims (like reducing suffering and promoting flourishing) are chosen by minds, but once we declare them, reality itself starts vetoing bad ideas. Evidence, consequences, and the well-being of sapient beings, sentient life, and ecosystems become the hard constraints on what can honestly count as “right.”

Along the way we tangle with big classic problems — Hume’s is–ought gap, evolutionary debunking arguments, moral disagreement and relativism — and contrast Mystrikism with emotivism, relativism, religious command theory, and “anything goes” cultural norms. We also bring it back to real life: how this framework actually guides decisions about justice, education, harmful traditions, policy, and everyday behaviour, without appealing to gods, karma, or cosmic scoreboards.

If you have ever wondered whether there can be honest, evidence-driven answers to moral questions in a fully natural universe, this episode is the start of that long, fascinating conversation.
