> Who gets to decide what is "Good" and "Ethical" behavior ? Why should any one person get to decide? Right now we have given the power over that decision to the worst people. I think a good first step is to recognise when someone has the power to incentivise behaviour and see whether they are using that power to incentivise negative behaviour. This is currently the case with most of the powerful institutions in our capitalist society. We do not live in a world of scarce resources. In most places there is more than enough food to go around, more than enough housing for everyone to be housed. We are forced into "survival mode" by the fact that wealthy people and institutions are hoarding resources and preventing access to them so that they can exploit us for profit. If we simply checked and limited the power of such institutions, allowing people the freedom to act in a less competitive manner, we would probably have more co-operation and a more ethical society. We've seen plenty of examples of this before.
