'86: How I Failed Ethics - The Magnetic Fields[00:00:00]

Written by：Stephin Merritt[00:00:01]

Though majoring in visual and environmental studies[00:00:06]

And minoring in history of sci[00:00:11]

I had to retake ethics from my Mennonite professor[00:00:16]

For whom my skepticism didn't fly[00:00:21]

The first time I made mincemeat of the standard propositions[00:00:31]

Establishing a so-called moral science[00:00:36]

And I declared morality an offshoot of aesthetics[00:00:41]

And got a failing C for my defiance[00:00:46]

So next semester I back to Divinity School trotted[00:00:56]

Proverbial tail not between my legs[00:01:01]

And spent the whole course positing my own ethical system[00:01:06]

While other college students emptied kegs[00:01:11]

Information ethics cyberethics both since taken[00:01:21]

Said[00:01:26]

Maximize the information flow[00:01:26]

Toward a hypothetical end state in which the cosmos[00:01:31]

Consists entirely of our info[00:01:36]

And at the highest level possible not only data[00:01:41]

But data about data dot dot dot[00:01:46]

Of life on top of life on top of life et cetera[00:01:51]

Profundity my mother'd say I'd not[00:01:56]

My Mennonite professor did concede I'd done the coursework[00:02:31]

Although my system left him quite dismayed[00:02:36]

Depending as it did on neither history nor Jahweh[00:02:41]

And gave me finally a passing grade[00:02:46]
