Haaaa, I'm high and full of introspection. . . Do you know what attempting to "transcend morality" and "go beyond good and evil" does to ya?

It turns you into an asshole. If you stop caring about the consequences of your actions and look to only benefit yourself you go to hell.
It's a very strange existence being there, because you observably cause a lot of problems and fight with everyone in your way but it makes sense and seems the easiest thing to do. . . The distortions of belief are something else.
If you only look to benefit yourself in the short term, what's left for you long term? How can you sustain yourself, how can you build supports when everyone despises you? How do you hold what you have taken?
If you look to act based on what benefits you the most you don't leave anything for the future. You cannibalize the past, and leave only dust- there's no culture made, no support network or legacy infrastructure for anything but your own "rational self interest".
Morality is a necessity. It is a lens that allows us to see past our own reflexive feelings on a problem and look to the bigger picture. It is what reminds us to look to building bridges and caring for others, to build something that will last.
If you act only for yourself you tear down everything. Your lack of consideration for how you gain your selfish benefit means it only lessens the world- and crime isnt the suitable word for me. Sin hits the mark nicely- that is sinful.
Empower others, build goodwill, build up cultures and societies and ways forward. To look to yourself and your own benefit as something that can be separated from that or is even in opposition to that is an absurdity.
Take it from someone who walked among demons and counted them as friends, who knows the depth of sin and yet aims for the peaks of virtue- you do not want to abandon morality. Refine, reconsider, and question- absolutely.
To act as a demon and not consider the impact of your actions on others- from the immediate to the long term- is not only evil, and unquestionably so, but also irrevocably foolish. Look at the history of empires- look at what happens when you look to gain without heed.
To be a demon like that is not only hateful but rather ultimately tragic- you will only ever tear yourself apart in the end. Karma is in the collective nature of humanity. This is why I know capitalism will fall- they have no heed for how they get their gains.
Temporary hires, gutting of departments, extension of work hours, and so on- drastic measures that devastate the infrastructure and the process, for only short term benefit. The hallmarks of that self-cannibalisation, that spiritual autophagia.
Everything you do is an extension of yourself, everything you create and control and organise. It is a part of you and you a part of it, and to damage it is to damage yourself. To atomise the self from that which sustains it is the sin that condemns empires to ruin.
