In Time Transcending Moralities: A Moral Code for the Past, Present, and Future, author Michaels weaves a bold, thoughtful, and unflinching philosophical inquiry into the nature of morality across generations. What begins as a personal journal evolves into a powerful manuscript that dares to ask: What kind of moral code can withstand the test of time - guiding not only our current society, but echoing with relevance in both the lessons of the past and the challenges of the future?
Drawing on real-world examples from sports, politics, religion, technology, and culture, this work confronts hard truths: Why do we defend immoral behavior in those we admire? Are we willing to sacrifice our values for loyalty? Is genius an excuse for harm? And most importantly - what principles would we want our descendants, or even our ancestors, to live by?
Through chapters like "Are You Corruptible?", "The Wealth Illusion," and "Support Over Defend," Michaels explores the gray spaces between legality, ethics, and personal conscience. He calls for a return to morality as the central force in our public discourse - even when it's uncomfortable. Even when it's inconvenient. And even when it implicates our heroes or ourselves.
Part reflection, part call to action, and part blueprint for moral accountability, this book challenges readers to examine their internal compass - and to leave behind not just a legacy of achievements, but a legacy of integrity.
