Scalable ethics

Scalable Ethics is the concept that corporations have a threshold where the forces of maximising profit and growth come into conflict with their ethical or environmental practices, values, and aspirations. It's a term used to interrogate the authenticity of ‘corporate social responsibility’ practices and publicity.

Is this a case of scalable ethics, cutting sustainability initiatives to improve profits?

ethics

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.

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.

Ethical Birder

An oxymoron.

It is speaking about the state of bird photographers who will do anything to take a great photo of wildlife. The list of actions include:

1. Feeding of wild birds
2. Stepping on wild birds 'by accident' (OBVIOUSLY they just dont want others to get the same photo opportunity)
3. Recommend culling of bird's native predators

4. Pushing their way around with their massive lens to get a good position and refuse to move even if obstructing the path
5. Witholding information of bird locality, even if information would be vital for ornithologist conducting avian research
6. Breaking local rules and entering restricted areas, endangering lives of those around them
7. Handling of wild animals to prevent them from disturbing their subject
8. Unnecessary destruction of vegetation in wild areas to get clearer view of the bird

Find me an ethical birder in this day and age and I will bow to them.

Ethical

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....

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...."

ethical criminal

An individual who performs activities, which the laws of the area they are committed in classifies as being illegal, in a manner that is more ethically acceptable than most other people who commit the same offense.

Some individuals who can be viewed as being ethical criminals are a storeowner from Oakland California who, on the night of February 15, 2021, fired a gun at two individuals that were attempting to rob a woman across the street from their store, robin hood, and Flores, an operator in Rainbow Six Siege who steals from wealthy crime lords in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Los Angeles, California and gives the money and resources they stole to the poor.
