Ironic that even our everyday governance has little 'Alignment' between ethics and law.

Ironic that even our everyday governance has little 'Alignment' between ethics and law.
- jacobn 3y agoEthics are a lot more nuanced and change a lot faster than laws. Heck, a large fraction of ethics seem to be so fickle that they’re subject to potential revision by every generation. In fact, I’d argue that those revisions are a significant portion of how one generation distinguishes itself from their parents. Yet strangely every generation feels like they have arrived at a set of “universal laws” in their ethics.
- KarlKemp 3y agoIn this case, both ethics and the law are murky. Pretty excellent alignment, for once?
- ben_w 3y agoWe wouldn't need lawyers if all the rules could be expressed as "be ethical".
- 23B1 3y agoThe lawyers certainly agree with you on that!
