Why? Ethics aside, is everything money?
- naikrovek 2y agobecause money grants wishes, and having more money means you get more of your wishes granted.
- bayindirh 2y agoThat doesn't make me interested. I don't get all excited about the things money can buy. Edit: As I noted elsewhere, necessities are something else.
- johnisgood 2y agoI would love to have the money (42k EUR) to buy Scewo, which is an advanced self balancing stair climbing wheelchair. Sadly enough, I doubt I will ever be able to.
- WarOnPrivacy 2y agoMay I suggest a decade of red state hunger-level poverty? My kids and I did it. Three years out of it, I get excited paying utilities on time.

- robertlagrant 2y ago> Why? Ethics aside, is everything money? Ethics aside, why not? That's why we have ethics.
- pyrale 2y agoEthics aside, there are many thing that move people, and it's not always money. For instance, selling the vulnerability means the author wouldn't have been able to tell their story.
- bayindirh 2y agoBecause even if I remove ethics, I can't find a reason for doing something like that. For me, doing the right thing is beyond all these things, and I don't care about money beyond buying the necessities I need.
- WarOnPrivacy 2y ago> I can't find a reason for doing something like that. Money often starts out as necessity or one of it's close cousins. If I were 1) 8k miles away from my target, 2) in a region with more internet access than employment prospects and 3) needed to eat, I can see a path to profitable disclosure. > For me, doing the right thing is beyond all these things, This can be a luxury. After a year or 3 of kids in and out of hunger, what's right can get reframed. > and I don't care about money beyond buying the necessities I need. Getting beyond that is the thing.
- robertlagrant 2y ago> For me, doing the right thing is beyond all these things That...is ethics, no?
- MonkeyClub 2y agoEthics and character, yes, and an attitude towards life that doesn't regard money as the deeper meaning of everything.
- robertlagrant 2y agoEthics aside, what is characterful about saying no to money? Should I say no to my salary for character reasons?
- imadr 2y ago>Why? So this security researcher can keep doing his research without worrying about paying bills. The company gets cheap security audit, the researcher gets money, everybody wins
