"It sounds pretty damn important to me. It means the difference between
making a bad decision and a good one. I can only presume by your
eschewing of morality, and the notion that morality might be important,
that you don' want it."

What's to want? We are all energy in different forms such as
thoughts/memes, feelings/emotions and consciousness. Who was it who
said that humans feel significant not knowing they are mere specks of
dust in the whole scheme of things/kinetic energy always in motion or
something to that effect.
The sense of self preservation is neither moral nor immoral. Its just
energy's vibe in microscale expanding to macroscale proportions as
ignorance of ignorance for lack of a better term.
What I don't want are the effects of ignorance, feelings of aversion or
attachments to theories of realities with no direct connection to
reality.
My point is how can the mind get directly connected to reality? In
dementia, a degenerating disease of the brain, consciousness diminish
gradually which we see as an end to being alive. Philosophers
rationalize the human condition time and time again not knowing we are
time itself. How to realize we are energies involve in endless
interactions?
