Do you "run them through" actual ethics, too?
- A4ET8a8uTh0_v2 10mo agoSee.. here is a problem. You say 'actual' ethics as if those were somehow universal and not ridiculously varied across the board. And I get it, you use the term, because a lot of readers will take it face value AND simply use their own value system to translate them into what agrees with them internally. I know, because I do the same thing when I try to not show exactly what I think to people at work. I just say sufficiently generic stuff to make people on both sides agree with a generic statement. With that said, mister ants in the pants, what does actual mean to you in this particular instance?
- balamatom 10mo agoI don't know about ants (or pants) but > I try to not show exactly what I think to people at work. I just say sufficiently generic stuff to make people on both sides agree with a generic statement. basically the ethics of anyone who doesn't this
- A4ET8a8uTh0_v2 10mo agoUhh.. do we really want to do ethics 101 ( and likely comparative religions based on your insisting all ethical considerations are universal across the human experience )? Please reconsider your statement, because it is not 'basically'; not by a long shot.
- balamatom 10mo agoI don't know shit about ethics numbers. Nor do I believe in any comparative religions. All I know is that you claimed to do the following: > I try to not show exactly what I think to people at work. I just say sufficiently generic stuff to make people on both sides agree with a generic statement. Bravo! Encore! Teach us, wise master!
- satvikpendem 10mo agoI read this thread and I'm not even sure what your point is if all your comments are just going to be cryptic instead of actually stating your point clearly. As a reader, not even the person you're responding too, it's not useful to write like this.
- balamatom 10mo agoI'm terribly sorry. I admit that it might be possible, at least in theory, to force me to emit "useful" writing! What makes you think you deserve that, though?!
- satvikpendem 10mo agoEveryone who uses this forum deserves that, it's basic etiquette when speaking to other people. If one were as dismissive to you in real life, you'd probably be annoyed just the same.
- balamatom 10mo agoThat all sounds very nice. Go tell it to some decision makers.
