> It's the lowest stage of moral development to insist on rigid adherence to each and every rule. No. It's simply not paying attention to people whose philosophy is inherently duplicitous. > There are people playing by the rules doing immensely more damage to the world and to the economy. Where did I say this man was damaging the economy? All I pointed out was that his philosophy (living away from the rat race is a good thing) is inconsistent. Please don't change the goalposts. I was having a discussion on living with integrity (having your actions align with your purported values), not economic damage / benefit.

> I was having a discussion on living with integrity (having your actions align with your purported values), not economic damage / benefit. I don't know you from anybody but I'm one hundred percent sure that you live with contradictions to your own values, no matter how carefully cultivated and adhered to. I'm saying this to disparage you, because the same applies to me. In fact one of the hallmarks of humans is that they are inconsistent in their beliefs, morals values and so on. If we were not inconsistent, then everything would be frozen in place and no change would be possible, so I see it as a good thing.
