I ask the OP: Have you read the meta-ethics sequence? It answers many of your questions.
Other than that, your title is misleading and your post can be summarized as “society sucks because humans are stupid.” If you care, look into raising the sanity waterline.
Yes (altho it’s been a long time now, could probably reread to refresh)
Yeah, I’m trying. A lot of the point of the original post was “Let’s not get hung up on winning, and rather let’s get society to be more sane, cuz winning in an insane society is not something I’d consider “winning” at all”
You seem to be confused as to what ‘winning’ means. Because it literally only means ‘achieving arbitrary goal X’ and rational action furthers that goal in the most effective way possible.
I do however agree that society’s current goal set is morally wrong, and that seen with my eyes, winning is doing what is right.
