 Interest is just the commodification of time preference disparity.
The variance in people's time preference is an opportunity for voluntary, mutually-beneficial trade. 
What's immoral about that?  
 This is a common rule for imaginary sky friends to make up. You won't find reason behind it, just superstition. 
 Right. I believe Silbernegel wrote a whole nonsense long-form post about it on this basis.
