In case anyone misses the comment by "MicaiahC" at the bottom of the page (not mine, but I clicked their link and found it very interesting), the ethics interpretation that is referenced in footnote 4 is the Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics, with a really interesting explanation here [1].
It seems to primarily have arisen as a parable of the observer effect in quantum physics, where interacting with a particle (or a problem) changes it, and therefore makes the observer partially responsible for the nature of thing past that point.

- beaconstudios 6y agoThank you for resharing this - this post puts clear words to a feeling I've felt for a long time. I'm in agreement with the author that noticing bad things does not make you bad unless you can solve the problem in totality. In fact, following that line of reasoning leads to a lot of what I consider "immorality dressed up as morality" today.
