That's not a nice thought, because it reduces the important of morals down to cheap soul food. Fuck you.

I don't know, I consider virtue to be one of the most important pivotal points in my life, and I still find OP's idea interesting. Maybe it would be degrading the value of virtues if we're only sticking to the ancient Greek's definition, but by Kierkegaard's definition, it makes a lot of sense. He never claimed the aesthetic life to be necessarily lower than the moral, or the moral lower than the spiritual. They are continuations of each other, modes of living that have different pros and cons but are still valid as long as one holds themselves to it completely.

Exactly. Morality is expedience and thoughtfulness dictated upon context. There is nothing inherently wrong about anal sex just seldom a natural situation that would beg such a measure without violating the creative apparition of another. Dissociate yourself from your own perception and you're left with a fable.

what if someone found degeneracy aesthetic? And by extension degeneracy itself a continuation of the moral plane?
