Circumstances can help explain, but never excuse unethical behavior

• SideburnsOfDoom 7mo ago
  Systems can make such failures inevitable. The language of "blame" vs. "excuse" is not the most relevant.

    Are you saying unethical behavior is not a choice but forced by the system? That it would be unreasonable to expect people to behave ethically in situation were the system is set up in a way that does not reward ethical behavior? That lying and cheating can always be excused because if people didn't, they would endager their societal status?

      No. That's a wild gallop off in a pointless direction using the same irrelevant language.
