Being motivated 'purely by profit' means that you are deliberately acting without morals. That isn't an unintended consequence. It is an intended consequence of pretending you aren't responsible for your actions.
- hsod 12y agoWas the parent post edited? Right now it says "motivated primarily by profit," not "purely"
- nmrm 12y agoNo, I didn't edit that post. Also, gress: I don't necessarily disagree with you. But there is a distinction.
- gress 12y agoThere is a distinction, but I think that primarily does imply that profit takes priority over ethical concerns, so I'd argue that in this case the distinction doesn't change the argument.
