This mindset is a pretty convenient way to absolve oneself of any guilt felt over what that service you're offering is contributing to. I also find this reasoning reductive and cynical, for what it's worth.
- hindsightbias 2y agoThey don’t feel any guilt, the transaction abstracts them of any.
- quickslowdown 2y agoThat's what I was saying with my comment, yes
- CydeWeys 2y agoIt doesn't absolve you of guilt whatsoever. If you're feeling lots of guilt over what your employer is doing, then you should resign. There are absolutely companies I would never work for because I morally disagree with what they're doing. Google is not one of them.
- quickslowdown 2y agoI was being pretty sarcastic with my comment, I agree with you, that mentality does not absolve anyone of guilt. I meant that thinking in those terms inoculates the person from feeling the guilt they absolutely should feel over contributing to evil.
