Moral Shifts:

1. Animals, will sound like eating babies
2. Social Media / Privacy Morality
3. Attractiveness Discrimination
   1. Heightism
4. Cosmetic Surgery being acceptable - people should look the way they want to look
5. People born attracted to children who don’t act on their impulses are heroes, should be lionized
6. Software rights (Intelligent / Emotional / Conscious software)
7. Plant Rights
8. Genetic Improvement as morally compulsory
9. Cloning becoming acceptable
10. Anti-Tribalism
11. Expansion of the tribe to be all-inclusive
12. Allowing bad or abusive parents to raise children
13. Capitalism / consumerism as evil (even relative to embracing scarcity)
14. Uncreative work at scale
15. Right to attention
16. Right to time
17. Wage Slavery

Two interesting questions here:
* What are the genuinely likely changes? What features predict moral shifts?
* Which changes are generalizations of my own moral views that currently feel invalidated?

Thought: Ask this question as a getting to know somebody step… much like anitvalues, it elicits core beliefs that distinguish them from the society, and so are important to their identity.
