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...."

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 horniness

using sexual appeal and hunger to help make the world a better place for people. e.g.: Yung Gravy donating bras thrown at him to women's shelters and their monetary equivalent to breast cancer charities; YouTube personality Markiplier opening a OnlyFans and displaying soft cord nudes to donate proceeds to charities.
Dave Marshall opening an OnlyFans to give money to suicide prevention? Loving the ethical horniness!

Ethical Obligation

I don't know it wouldn't be hard to say that your CONFLATING "criticism" with the thing you're ACTUALLY DOING.
Hym "You're a licensed professional and, therefore, have an ethical obligation to (either) do or not do certain things. You're freedom of speech does not give you the right to use speech as a mechanism to commit and/or participate in crime. This is something that a man who believes that 'the only TRUE consent is marriage' should understand. What you're doing is like feinting interest in your daughter and then banging her out without committing (which is exactly whats I WILL do in the future) OR lying and pretending to be Hym to get women (which probably works because I'm very erotic but STILL TECHNICALLY FRAUD). But where is the trial video. You said you would post a trial video and I have yet to see a trial video. That was a lie. You lied blatantly. You YELLED the lie. You said 'YOU THINK I WON'T POST IT!?' And I said 'Yes. Especially if it names me.' And then that's what happened. The thing I said. What you fail to understand is that MY thing didn't count. Your thing DOES count."

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.
