I didn't have Trits in front of me, was high off the deliciousness, and misspelled the name. It doesn't mean your picture wasn't a little odd, or that you should be childishly taunting in the blogosphere. If you can't appreciate playful banter, at least you appreciate Trits.

Try this out and let me know. (I just thought of this). So I am still grasping Bartleby and etc. But, upon reading your comment, I tend to just default to cyclicals, cyclicals are always the right answer nowadays, no? So, is there a way that maybe we can escape the circle? (not that we should or whatever, but how sealed is it?) Morality as a start, comes from the need for action, there is an ultimate need for action because action subsumes it's opposite into itself, namely, inaction. So regardless of anything we know of, we NEED action (that's our source of necessitation) or perhaps, better, cannot escape action.. So morality, I gather, would then be after a decision to act. And since we can't really ask the question, should we moralize? without trying to retroactively destroy the source of our conclusion to NOT moralize, what are we left with? we MUST moralize, the other conceivable space (a non-moralization that is arrived at without using morality to prove it's action, I think, would be Bartleby's I prefer not, or the whole 1,2 space in Levinas (am I totally off target) but like we established, in class, and here, now, that space is impossible for us to occupy. We live in the world of the third, namely, under the necessitation to moralize. So while the act of moralizing may be cyclical with law, education and the Word, it perhaps *began* with the fact that we are compelled to moralize. oh....damn. maybe that compulsion/necessitation is Law. Fuck. Ok, so maybe you're right. Wait, but if it's something from which we cannot escape, is it still Law? Or simply our situation. I still think perhaps the distinction between ethics and ethical theory might provide us wiggle room though. but I haven't looked into yet. also, i think braveheart's end credit music is gripping. and I know I'm voting for change. because change means what you want it to mean.

But you are quite right in that morality is a start. But aren't they also cyclical? Ethics becomes the law (and education) which then, in turn, dictate and mold ethics? Hmm. The origins get a bit lost. But that's good. After all, everyone is voting for "change" this season, whatever that means.
