Humans are also consumers. Modern businesses think about people as consumers first and human second.
This paves the way to many perversions, such as, huge industries bases on exploiting human weaknesses (e.g. addiction based online gaming) . This is enabled morally by marginalizing the concept of a human to consumer first.
In this moral outlook, as long as you get costumers to buy your product, everything is AOK morally.
Being human oriented means you don't create a product that which manipulate humans into self or social harm even if it'll turn a profit.
- icebraining 7y agoThe problem with generic principles like that is that they'll be used against you by anyone who doesn't share your opinions on what "manipulate" or "social harm" mean. You'll be harangued for being an hypocrite and going against your own principles, despite never having intended the principle to be applied that way.
