It suggests that for a discerning few, this meaning lies in ’exploration and generation’—discovering new possibilities and making them endure to foster further innovation. Drawing on concepts from computational irreducibility and recent scientific theories, the essay argues that creating robust new possibilities aligns with the universe’s intrinsic trend towards increasing complexity and richness.https://cuicaihao.github.io/posts/2026-08-06-moral-scalability-why-cultivating-oneself-and-regulating-ones-family-doesnt-equate-to-ordering-the-state-and-bringing-peace-to-the-world/Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:00:00 +1000https://cuicaihao.github.io/posts/2026-08-06-moral-scalability-why-cultivating-oneself-and-regulating-ones-family-doesnt-equate-to-ordering-the-state-and-bringing-peace-to-the-world/This article introduces the concept of “moral scalability,” arguing that virtues applicable to small communities can become detrimental when expanded to larger systems. Through anecdotes and a five-tiered moral map, it explores how the scope of morality changes with scale, emphasizing that who ultimately bears the cost of these virtues determines their legitimacy. The piece highlights that true disagreement often lies in moral scale rather than moral standards, revealing why personal virtues don’t directly translate to good governance.
