It's context-dependent isn't it? The same joke can be harmless fun in one context, and a cruel jab in another, eh?

"Do unto others..." isn't a compressed file that expands into generic rules for every situation. (If life was simple enough to be covered by a set of generic rules we wouldn't have evolved these huge calorie-guzzling brains on the ends of our spines, eh?)

That's exactly my point. Understanding the dependent context can be considered the "advanced morality" the parent post asked about.

'Do unto others' is a principle that can be applied into every situation.

You might think the situation is too broad or complex etc, but your calorie-guzzling brain can work the many and various context-dependent scenarios out. For every wrong there is a right answer. We live in a moral world.

Luckily, its not your job to sort the world out. You can only work on yourself and ensure your actions are aligned with morality.

PS I would reply sooner, but as I have received so many downvotes I get a message to slow down, that I am posting too fast.

No worries. FWIW I agree with you.
