Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
If anyone cares, the CI isn't actually about if you'd be okay with everyone doing it. It's about if it would even make sense in the first place. It's not don't lie because it would suck if everyone lied. It's don't lie because if everyone lied lying would cease to be useful since everyone expects it, don't kill because if people did that you'd be dead and couldn't kill, etc.
It's sort of a nitpick, but if you say it's about if the outcome is okay if everyone does it, that's kind of circular reasoning since you're trying to define what's okay in the first place. The point was to determine a morality purely from reason (and obviously there's a lot of argument about how close he came to success, no one really buys it personally since it's mega-strict, but it's nice to be able to say "hey look, we can make a morality where we're not just making shit up, fuck you Freidrich and fuck you Ayn")
I finally have a chance to share something I'm really proud of. Saw this Louis bit and then I actually did that shit at the airport. And it worked! Left the keys under the passenger floor mat too... seemed the best place to hide them while keeping it unlocked.
They were pissed and said that apparently doing that results in security freaking out about it because abandoned cars sitting in front of the airport is a dangerous-looking thing.
Isn't this a main part of one of his specials?
