The basis of my ethical principles is the nature of reality and the nature of man.

That's like saying "the basis for my house is the electrical wiring." And pretending that it put itself there without the aid of an Electrician.

The most important aspect of human nature is volition, the ability and necessity to consciously choose all one does, which means he is responsible for all he does, a responsibility reality does not allow one to evade.

Unless some outside Force mercifully mitigates your errors and graciously pays your bill.

If you don’t see any difference, it explains a lot. So be it.

I was just answering a question, not trying to convince anyone. So, if I’m mistaken, what do you care.
