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.

Ethical Emotivism

Your faux ethical dilemma regarding the organ transplant can only exist in a vaccum (Though you may be right that people do ENGAGE IN ethical emotivism). As I see it, your proposition isn't a singular linear line of reasoning. How you're thinking about it seems to be this: If you can -1 to +5 should you do that. But really your proposition is the intersection of several constituent elements regarding personal property rights (Does the person own their organs), consent (Is it ethical to take something from someone else without consent), authority (Is it ethical for a "We" to have authority over an individual). So, if yes (you ought to take the organs) do you have to reconcile with the constituent elements of the proposition? If it's ethical for "a group to take the organs from 1 to save 5 people" is it, then, also ethical for "a group to take the property of an individual without their consent" (in a broader sense)? Or are you just making a 1 time exception for this guy? Or is whether or not it's ethical contingent on what you're taking and whether or not you're saving lives? You see the distinction I'm trying to make, right? Maybe I'm not understanding it properly.

Hym "To me it just sounds like a repackaging of the trolley problem. And I don't see how it's incompatible with utilitarianism because if you aim to maximize pleasure then it's either a total of 1 unit of pleasure (1 person who continues to live so they can experience pleasure) or 5 units... Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're saying... I guess the distinction between the trolly problem and your thing IS the intersection of constituent elements. Rather than just deciding whether or not to switch the tracks you're deliberately putting a guy ON THE TRACK. So it's a little more direct I guess... You're slightly more culpable in the outcome... That's a good one though. That aside, I think ethical emotivism is something people engage in rather than the default. I do still think you can create a mathematical ethical scale. Like my thing! I kill a kid (-2), you kill me (-1), I get my stuff back (+1). That's all I got for now. Bring it back up later maybe I'll come up with something else. Hopefully that isn't too incoherent to understand."
