Common usage of inhuman means evil, cruel, heartless TO OTHERS. And OT is an author, he creates characters of great humanness and inhumaness, and then jumps into the game to play the roles HIMSELF. Humans can consider this inhuman because it involves creating inhumans, they forget it also includes creating humans! >Does it make sense to say ethical OT or unethical OT, on your view? Existence has its basic mechanic, that which is not duplicated persists. Thus all persistance is of persisting lies. The very decent into dream time is an act of unethics, because it is a creation of persisting lies 'all consciousness is a pock mark on the face of God' -old Sufi saying. The basic mechanism then of out ethics for an OT is to fail to recast what has been casted and then return it to the void. Anything else but perfect recasting of a casted object is Q&A with it, 'Let's see what solutions we can come up with to deal with that!' So of course he gets stuck with it forever for free. Since all of existence then is out ethics to an OT, there is no should or should not associated with it, because basically manifestation is a 'should manifest', ALL OF IT. Including the creations of humans and inhumans, and the little dance they do with each other. The purpose of manifestation is to manifest OT out ethics, by which we mean manifesting persistent tapestries of human and inhuman. The out ethics is not related to WHAT is being manifested, only that once manifested it is then persisted. Thus a more sensible definition of out ethics for an OT is relative to what he wants to accomplish. If an OT wants to withdraw back into the void, then out ethics is Q&A which causes persistence. If an OT wants to manifest more, then out ethics is to recast properly which causes vanishment. Ethics is optimum reason towards a given goal. The two possible goals are persisting manifestation or vanishing manifestation. It is not possible for an OT to cast something bad or wrong, they can only do what comes naturally which is manifest from source the outflowing of tapestry of good and evil. And OT looking upon a human and an inhuman dancing with each other, is just as likely to polish up the story line a bit, than take sides with one or the other. If he does decide to take sides, he can freely take either side. >Is an unethical OT one who is inhuman? Domain error. OT's can not act unethically, except relative to their desire to manifest or unmanifest. If an OT desires to manifest, then taking on the good guy or the bad guy is an even toss, he is free to create the story, and do with it what he will. If one OT takes over the good guy, and the other takes over the bad guy, why then they can dance together in love of hatred and fear.
