Jordan Peterson defines it as "Voluntary and repeatable transactions" which, you know, SOUNDS good but I don't quite think it's a consistent standard for "ethical" or "How things ought to be." It's just not enough. And it's funny that in his consideration for "what constitutes an ethical business" that the EMPLOYEES aren't even an afterthought! As long as the customers and suppliers are acting voluntarily what happens to the employees is irrelevant apparently!
Hym "So... By that logic, TAXES are unethical. WORK is unethical. If we accept 'Voluntary and repeatable' as the definition of 'Ethical' that actually makes for a solid argument for universal basic income....
Hym "So... By that logic, TAXES are unethical. WORK is unethical. If we accept 'Voluntary and repeatable' as the definition of 'Ethical' that actually makes for a solid argument for universal basic income....
Work is not voluntary; it's coercive (Work for me or anyone else OR live a life of privation) and I don't want to keep doing it under threat of privation, so, not repeatable. Universal basic income would make work voluntarily. Therefore, we are ethically obligated to institute some form of universal basic income. Prostitution would also be considered ethical. You could say that a pimp exploits the labor of someone who might not have any better options but... How's that any different from what a business owner does? Other than the fact that a pimp doesn't pay taxes. And we've already established that taxes are unethical. DRAG SHOWS are ALSO ethical as anyone who goes to a drag show is there voluntarily. Even if they were to bring THEIR OWN (And NOT OTHER PEOPLE'S) kids drag shows are both voluntary and repeatable. Seriously. It's like he doesn't even think before he opens his mouth. Every time he does it he dismantles the arguments of his political allies. It's like he's just winging it up there. At the same time, we don't necessarily accept that definition. There CAN be ethical compulsion. Which is the opposite of 'voluntary.' I mean, if a serial rapist doesn't want to live in a cage; I'd say you OUGHT to put him in one ANYWAYS. So, there's and example of ETHICAL compulsion that contradicts Jordan's definition of ethical.... Whaaaaat else.... Hmm.... Running out of characters..... Hmm... I'll come back to it...."

Get the Ethicalmug. A moral debate or consideration to have when picking a topic, fictional character, or person to masturbate or 'goon' to, be it regarding mindset, physical appearance or conditions.
Guy 1: Dude, even if that anime girl is 8000 years old, she looks and acts like a little girl! I'm not gooning to children!
Guy 2: That's ethical gooning right there! You're so real, my man!

Get the Ethicalmug. In other words, an "Ethical Gooner". Both meanings are very much the same. Ethical Gooning is someone who goons at a fictional character in any kind of media who is 18 and/or over, and not an underage character.
Ethical Gooner 1: Oh god Rumi "Mirko" Usagiyama is so fucking hot. I wish I could be inside of her... Mmmmmm
Ethical Gooner 2: I need Yor Forger to finger my coochie so bad. Oh fuck yes~ Please yes~
Ethical Gooner 3: Loid Forger's dick would be great in my ass~
Prime Examples of Ethical Gooning

Get the Ethical Gooningmug. It means a person can admit he's racist and still treat people of other racial groups with ethical values, respect and politeness.
''Yeah, I'm a racist. I also treat people of other racial groups with respect and care. I'm an ethical racist".

Get the ethical racistmug. Ethical gooning is a form of gooning where the individual only consumes porn and other forms of NSFW media in a way where:
1. All characters are canonically (or clearly by their depiction) 18+.
2. They know, understand, and like the character beyond their mere sexual appeal.
3. They do their best to credit artists and other creators if they edit or repurpose their work.
Overall, the ethical gooner cares for and derives pleasure from other things beyond mere objectification or blind consumption of porn and NSFW media.
This is to especially juxtapose themselves to forms of gooning, where individuals that generate ignorance and mindsets that sexualize and objectify everything due to their blind consumption.

Person 1: I like Yor Foger because she's a cool character with an amazing character in SpyXFamily while being hot as fuck. You only like her for the later. We are not the same.
Person 2: Aren't all are you crusty gooners the same?
Person 1: No, I engage in ethical gooning unlike others.

Get the Ethical Gooningmug. The paradigm that the number of senses outside of the world-interior can be counted if reduced to formas prime set-twin-prime set orthogonalities.
Effected by John Locke who concluded that a person's world-interior contained a SINGLE forma.
John Locke proved the existence of democracy analytically.

John Locke proved the existence of democracy analytically.
Immanuel Kant proved that human beings judge the world by a paradigm "sense-in-itself." John Locke came along and showed that the world-exterior contains an infinite number of senses-in-itself formas while the world-interior contains one forma. This result is unusual because it was in the 1900's that Alasdair MacIntyre finally separated public communication into the world-interior and the world exterior.
This communicado was ahead of its time as Kant reduced ethics to a counting-problem--not a problem of consideration.
