Oh_Man -- i just realised this is actually really bad for first contact and interstellar civilisations - if we run into species with thoroughly different moral values how the hell do we avoid conflict[05:53 pm]
Oh_Man -- man chatgpt never ceases to amaze me, just casually thinkin up three really cool ideas for alien races with unique cultures, u culd make ur own star trek with this[05:53 pm]
Oh_Man -- 3. The Collective Mind: Imagine a hive-mind alien species, the Nixari, who operate as a collective consciousness where individual Nixari beings lack separate consciousness and autonomy. When a Nixari being is killed or sacrificed, the collective mind doesn't view it as the death of a person but simply as the reallocation of resources.[05:52 pm]
Oh_Man -- 2. Honor-Based Conflict Resolution: Another example could involve a warrior alien culture, the Vorath, who resolve conflicts through ritualized combat to the death. In Vorath society, this "death duel" is not only permissible but an expected way to defend honor and resolve major disputes. Refusing to engage might be viewed as cowardly or dishonorable, while victory through killing brings respect and stability to the social hierarchy.[05:52 pm]
Oh_Man -- ^ I asked it to concieve of an alien race where murderr would be not morally reprehensible but in fact either morally obligatory, morally permissible, or merely amoral, and that's what it came up with[05:51 pm]
Oh_Man -- 1. The Overpopulation Dilemma: Imagine an alien species, the Xarxians, whose planet has limited resources, high reproductive rates, and strict carrying capacity. To survive and prevent catastrophic overpopulation, the Xarxians have developed a ritualized, state-regulated system where individuals are required to kill in a controlled manner to maintain the population balance.[05:51 pm]
Oh_Man -- ok i ran it through chatgpt and chatgpt assured me i haddnt had an original thought, oh well, maybe one day[05:48 pm]
Oh_Man -- omg i just thought of a good thought experiment to dismantle objective morality: animals or concieve of aliens that have traits that wouldn't align with our typical moral values of murder, thievery, rape, etc.
