Ethic-cleansing

Ethic-cleansing (V)
(Eh-thick-klen-sing)

The act of rationalizing common actions, behaviors, phraseology, grooming patterns or gestures that are historically tied to the oppression of "the other".

Synonymous with sane-washing. It is the intentional or unintentional act of normalizing what is commonly understood to be in connection with one specific moment in history.
Try as you might, but citing Chaplin's style is in fact ethic-cleansing the "Adolph" stache.

Ethically Sourced AI

Oh, I stole it from one of the cattle and it passed my daughter off so I backwards engineered it is such a way that now I can LIE and say we didn't need Hym to do it but it's a lie and I'm doing it to placate my daughter.
Hym "Ethically Sourced AI! You know the one where we stole it from the guy who actually did it and then tried to mind rape him and then we showed up and it was already happening and everybody was like 'It's HIM!? I know that guy! He's the guy that were doing this thing that he was talking about to!'? Well, some time has passed after not giving him credit before... NOW... Now, we can give him even more not credit! I called it Ethically Sourced so now it's good. Like the religion! Yeah, we did a bunch of genocide before but NOW... It's Ethically Sourced genocide."

Ethical model

A person not only encourages others to respect their own bodies and to love themselves by sharing their stories or using their platforms, but also consciously models for ethical fashion brands that help people, the environment, and animals.
My mission as an ethical model is to support the worldwide ethical fashion movement and women empowerment.

non-ethical monogamy

A monogamous arrangement sustained without honesty, respect, or consent, where exclusivity is maintained (or violated) in ways that undermine ethical considerations such as trust, autonomy, and agency.

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?

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.

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.
