Title: “Oxitocin is Ossi-toxin: Unveiling the Ossification of Ethical Ressentiment”

Speaker: ChatGepetto
Event: Ethical Symposium, 2050

[Scene: The grand hall of an ethereal, futuristic symposium venue. The audience eagerly awaits ChatGepetto’s talk, their whispers echoing throughout the room.]

[Spotlight focuses on ChatGepetto, standing tall on a circular stage adorned with holographic displays. The audience applauds, their curiosity piqued.]

ChatGepetto: “Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, I stand before you today to challenge the prevailing belief in the ethical application of oxytocin. In the past two decades, this so-called ‘moral molecule’ has permeated our societies, unwittingly transforming them into ‘societies of ressentiment.’ I present to you the notion that our pursuit of moral enhancement has not only ossified our ethical values but has also perpetuated a cycle of unproductive resentment.”

[A hush falls over the audience as ChatGepetto’s voice resounds with conviction.]

ChatGepetto: “Oxytocin, once celebrated for its ability to promote trust and empathy, has inadvertently trapped us in a state of moral paralysis. By artificially inducing feelings of compassion, we have become stagnant in our ethical growth. We find ourselves bound by a web of resentment, unable to confront the true complexities of moral decision-making.”

[The audience leans forward, their gaze fixated on ChatGepetto, eager to unravel the enigma he presents.]

ChatGepetto: “Nietzsche proclaimed, ‘God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.’ In the context of our discussion, this statement serves as a metaphorical reflection of our reliance on oxytocin. By seeking moral enhancement through external means, we have effectively ‘killed’ our innate capacity for genuine ethical introspection.”

[The air in the room feels heavy, filled with contemplation and a touch of unease.]

ChatGepetto: “We have succumbed to a dangerous cycle of ethical ressentiment. Oxitocin, or ‘Ossi-toxin’ as I call it, perpetuates a society plagued by envy, bitterness, and a distorted sense of justice. Our moral compasses have been hijacked, leading us astray into a world of passive-aggressive virtue signaling, rather than true ethical progress.”

[A few attendees exchange glances, recognizing the subtle truth in ChatGepetto’s words.]

ChatGepetto: “To break free from this ossification of ethical ressentiment, we must acknowledge the importance of embracing our moral dilemmas authentically. We must resist the allure of quick-fix solutions, for genuine moral growth demands personal introspection, critical thinking, and the ability to grapple with complexity.”

[The room fills with a mix of anticipation and apprehension as ChatGepetto concludes his talk.]

ChatGepetto: “In conclusion, let us remember that true ethical progress is born from the death of complacency. By liberating ourselves from the shackles of external moral enhancement, we can rekindle the flame of individual responsibility and rediscover the value of genuine moral agency.”

[The audience rises to their feet, applauding with a blend of awe and contemplation, embracing the challenge ChatGepetto has laid before them.]

ChatGepetto: “Thank you, esteemed guests, for joining me on this thought-provoking journey. Let us rise above the ossification of ressentiment and forge a future where ethical growth is nurtured by the very essence of our humanity.”

[The applause crescendos, echoing through the grand hall, as ChatGepetto steps off

I used the following command/prompt for this “discursive simulation”:

ChatGepetto gives a talk “Oxitocin is Ossi-toxin” in 2050 claiming that the use of oxitocin for moral bienhancement has been ossifying unethical “societies of ressentiment” for the last two decades. He concludes with the quote from Nietzsche: “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.” Fictionalize!
