Ethic 

If yours is better than mine then you shouldn't be concerned with what I teach or to who... "Whom"? Is it "whom?" "Whom" or "Who?" Tell me in the comments below.

Hym "If your ethic is better than mine then your thing should just beat mine. So, there. Do it. Do your thing. Do it on me. I want to see it."

Ethic 

It's like a conceptual hat. Or goggles. There are actually a lot of ethic salesman on the internet. It's one of my favorite sources of entertainment. They sell (to me) what I SHOULD be doing as opposed to what I am currently doing.

Hym "If I cannot violate all of the tenets of your ethic and succeed to spite you; your civilization is neither free nor is it meritocratic."

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.

The Hacker Ethic 

Hacker code of morality that was originally formed by the MIT hackers in the late 1950s to the late 1960s and articulated by Steven Levy in his book HACKERS: HEROES OF THE COMPUTER REVOLUTION. The creed is as follows:

1)Always yield the Hands-On Imperative! Access to computers-- and andything else which might teach you about the way the world works-- should be unlimited and total.
2) All information should be free.
3) Mistrust Authority-- Promote Decentralization.
4) Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.
5) You can create art and beauty on a computer.
6) Computers can change your life for the better.
While many of the 1960s hackers claim that modern hackers have rejected this code, it has actually strongly influenced all hackers for the last thirty years.
