+ Address the objection that, for any end E, our existence is a mere *premise* as opposed to a *necessary condition*. : see notebook:2021-9-27c,d,e + Defeat it by what the macrocosmic fit suggests. : see notebook:2021-10-2f,g - It would be unreasonable to assume that our moral obligations (including M) are owed to each other or each other alone. We have reason to suspect a) a positive obligation for action on my part !! How could I act after I am dead? b) in regard to (or owed to) someone or something else. - In sum, the macrocosmic fit gives a (default) reason for us to exist in the first place. - So M cannot be assumed as relative to us; the critic’s implication that M merely serves *us* is shown to be unwarranted. !! How can H possibly hold against this objection? How can the principle that grounds C possibly warrant H beyond my life span? | No H is necessary to infer rights. : see notebook:2021-11-9a - H is wanted only for motivation in respect of those rights. - This requires no H entailment by duty, only by reason or desire, both of which the first file could supply. : see a_failure_of_reason.brec + Go with this for a solution. | A postulate might be warranted by the macrocosmic fit. | Practical reason unravels should our extinction be foretold.
