>What kind of job can you get that actually is ethical? I don't know of any. To me, it seems like you just have to pick which vertical scam you want to give your labor to, and choosing between them based on which affords you a better/more comfortable life isn't unreasonable.
>If there actually was a credible alternative, that would be one thing. But what is it? Start-ups? Yeah right. Non-profits. Please. Government? Medicine? Law? Commerce? Entertainment? Education? Research? Who considers any of these ethical?
Maybe they are not ethical, but what, exactly, is unethical about them? Unless you work for a company that exists to game the system and/or exploit people/resources you are adding value to the world and making it a more efficient and better place for other humans.
- p4wnc6 11y agoI'm not sure I understand. Can you give an example of an organization that doesn't "game the system and/or exploit people/resources" under whatever operational definition you're using? That might help me better understand what you mean. I don't disagree that organizations, over time, have improved life and added value. Financial organizations have done this as much as most other genres of organization in the past few hundred years. But I'm not sure that the moral accounting works out in the black for any marginal employee in any modern mode of employment.
