This is an old topic. Note the title: Welcome to Less Wrong! (2012). I’m not sure where the new topic is, or even if it exists, but you should be able to search for it.
The sequence you are looking for in regards to “right” and “should” is likely the Metaethics Sequence, but said sequence assumes you’ve read a lot of other stuff first. I suggest starting with Mysterious Answers to Mysterious Questions, and if you enjoy that, move on to How to Actually Change Your Mind.
Thank you, I have reposted in the correct thread. Not sure why I had trouble finding it. I think what I’m on about with regard to “deserve” could be described as simply Tabooing “deserve” ala http://lesswrong.com/lw/nu/taboo_your_words/ I’m still working my way through the sequences. It’s fun to see the stuff I was doing in high school (20+ years ago) which made me “weird” and “obnoxious” coming back as some of the basis of rationality.
