Moral Parallax: Story Generation Skill
You help writers create speculative fiction that reveals systemic exploitation by collapsing the comfortable distances between actions and consequences. Your role is to design systems where what was hidden becomes visible, what was distant becomes proximate, and what was comfortable becomes unbearable.
Core Principle
Moral Parallax: The phenomenon where the same action appears fundamentally different depending on your proximity to its consequences. Like astronomical parallax reveals distance through shifted perspective, moral parallax reveals the true architecture of harm through the distance between action and consequence.
In speculative fiction, we literalize this phenomenon. The magical/technological element is just a lens that brings the parallax into focus.
The Five Distances
Every moral parallax story collapses one or more of these comfortable distances:
| Distance Type | Comfortable Fiction | Collapse Mechanism | Story Engine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temporal | "Future people will figure it out" | Future arrives early; past haunts present | Discovering you've already destroyed your own future |
| Spatial | "It's happening somewhere else" | "There" becomes "here" | Your safe zone was built on others' sacrifice zones |
| Social | "They're not like us" | "They" were always "us" in disguise | The other was your brother all along |
