That is fascinating, and maybe not the best analogy for what I wanted to communicate.
So focusing on just the Google ethics team; if your team can't even agree on the definition of ethical how can it reach consensus on ethics issues?
- crgwbr 8y agoBy discussing it rationally and coming to a consensus. No one has a universal definition of ethics—such a thing is impossible for limited, innately selfish humans (which we all are). And no two people will likely ever agree on every single ethical question presented. But, by discussing something at a round table of thought-diverse people, as long as they are all guided by the principal of wanting to come to agreement, will result in a productive, reasonable compromise. To say that a genuinely well-meaning person shouldn’t be allowed at that table because they disagree with the others is the same as saying you’re fine with biased outcomes, as long as they’re biased towards you.
