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...."

True Ethicality

True Ethicality is the noun for a person being truly ethical.
Being truly ethical means that the thing you did does not negatively affect any living beings (differing from being ethical, as being ethical does not extend to other beings, like lab rats).

Do you practice true ethicality?
Yes, I would never hurt anything.

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.
