Seems like we’ve been on the express train to Billionaireville for a little too long now.

I don't believe in a inherently moral universe. Isn't it arrogant to think that morality, a concept we invented, has to be applicable universally, across all space and time? Somehow, I doubt so.
It's not just a concept we invented, but also a concept that only apply to us.
So I think the moral universe refers to a morality that would apply to any of us, throughout nations and cultures.
Wich I don't find particularly far fetched since despite our cultures we do find a lot of common ground in our condition. It's the basis for human rights for example.
Although I wouldn't say that cultures shouldn't have an impact to on morality. There's definitely a mixture of both...
We can barely apply morality consistently within the same culture or society, almost as if morality is a tool for the powerful.
Yeah it's not easy. Societies are often multicultural, and each culture doesn't restrict individual values or smaller communities within it.
I wouldn't say it's just for the powerful, it can be a tool for the people too. The powerful do manipulate it for political reasons but ironically they themselves are mostly amoral.
