The 3 downvotes this had when I entered the thread seem rather harsh, considering it could be rephrased as “think like reality.” The questionable part is that the universe has a moral order, but a charitable reading of the quote will not demand that it means “a moral order independent of human minds.”
How do you measure “small”? Us humans had a disproprotionate effect on our immediate surroundings, and that effect is going to continue throughout our lightcone if everything goes according to plan.

There’s no such thing.

The moral order is within us.
And we are within the universe! So that all works out nicely.
We’re only a small part of it, though. The rest is “the motivationless malice of directed acyclic causal graphs”.

I think you’re supposed to laugh evilly there.

We should all agree to say the same words, without too much concern for what they mean?
