Outsourcing your morality to politicians past and present is not a particularly useful framework.
- anonymouskimmer 2y agoEthics are only morality if you spend your entire time in human social contexts. Otherwise morality is a bit larger, and ethics are a special case of group recognized good and bad behaviors.
- chefandy 2y agoI don't think "ethics" implies group recognition, though-- I'd call those principles mores.
- Thorrez 2y agoI'm not outsourcing my morality. There are plenty of actions that are legal that are immoral. I don't think the government's job is to enforce morality. The government's job is to set up a framework for society to help people get along.
