Money talks, ethics walks.
Money talks, ethics walks.

Re: Money talks, ethics walks.
Too bad that capitalism, which naturally aligns with human nature (as opposed to Marxism which is an ideological imposition upon human nature) as evidenced by the human inclination to trade goods and services in answer to the need for an improved quality of life, has been corrupted.
Ethics takes a walk when the totalitarian control by a government supersedes human rights in the name of perpetuating totalitarianism.
This is the age of corrupted capitalism, i.e., the Age of Corruption, and ethics adjust accordingly.

I could toss in some random caps, Captain, but that’s your thang.
So you know, I'm putting you on a leash. You get one question.

Re: Money talks, ethics walks.
Guys that say stuff like that are normally from Habituses created by men knowing the ways money talk. Like my fellow countrywoman Greta. My humble experience after 30 ys in other habituses and almost as many in them. But maybe it's the complete opposite in other parts of the world. People from mandatory daytime work habituses on all family sides saying such things.attofishpi wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 11:50 am Money talks, ethics walks.

By “habituses” are you meaning the plural of “habitus” or do you mean something else?Ansiktsburk wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 6:40 amGuys that say stuff like that are normally from Habituses created by men knowing the ways money talk.

Even though your “horrible writing” was just as easily readable in its previous format, I’d like to take a try at one question.
My question is this
(and I hope to read your considered response to it):
Suppose a corporate giant
like Facebook
has the hubris,
and/or the audacity,
to limit or promote conflict and misinformation,
and decide which to do based on profits rather than ethics,
following such platitudes as,
“Money is the root of all evil,”
or,
“Conflict breeds more conflict,”
or,
“Handsome is as handsome does,”
then why am I incorrect to say
that the Age of Corruption is
nothing more than
the Age of Situational Ethics,
in view of the fact that
more profits mean more jobs and
better lives for workers,
or is this more a matter of subliminal mind control
with the aim of achieving a political goal?
[Any format you desire is okay with me as long as it is
written either in Queen’s English or American English.]

Because the same situation elicits the same thoughts and actions from two or more strangers who share the same view, but not from those who do not share the same view. The shared view can be either corrupted, or not corrupted.commonsense wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 5:11 pm

For example, strangers to the Wright Brothers, and to one another, were simultaneously discovering an uncorrupted view of machine-powered flight physics via known materials technology. It's a good example because a corrupted view of machine-powered flight physics has unmistakable effects.
That's a good use of your one question, and now you have more than enough material with which to philosophize.
Does the Queen approve?

Re: Money talks, ethics walks.
Are you asking a question here, or just telling us what you BELIEVE is true?
Either way I do NOT know what you are REALLY asking, nor saying.
Let us see.
By the way, to me, your writing was NOT 'horrible' NOR 'hard to read'. But anyway ...
LOL
BOTH do NOT 'naturally align' with human nature. But 'you' would KNOW this ALREADY, that is; IF you ALREADY KNEW what 'human nature' IS, EXACTLY.
BOTH "capitalism" AND "marxism" are ideological impositions upon human nature. In fact, EVERY "ism" was, is, and will be an ideological imposition upon human nature. But, you would ALREADY KNOW this, that is; IF you ALREADY KNEW what thee True nature of being a 'human being' IS and how thee Mind and the brain ACTUALLY WORK.
If 'you', adult human beings, did not destroy the quality of life, through your want of money (trading commodity) and greed, then there would be NO 'need' for an improved quality of life now, in the days when this was being written.
EVERY human being is born into a Life, which the quality of is PERFECT and which can NOT be improved upon. However, if there is a perception that the quality of life can be improved upon, then that means 'you', adult human beings, have done something Wrong, and so 'need' to have a good hard look at "yourselves".
The natural tendency of the human being was once NOT to trade goods and services. To ASSUME otherwise just comes from a VERY short sighted and narrowed view of things.
Yes, the adult human beings, in the days when this was written, were VERY corrupted, and extremely so without ANY real recognition of this FACT.
What, EXACTLY, are 'your' human rights?
And, how could the 'rights' of EVERY one, so call, "supersede" the 'rights' of an individual one? This just does not naturally follow, well from my perspective and view of things anyway.
Maybe if you provide some examples of what you BELIEVE is true, then we could take a LOOK AT them, and then discuss. But we will have to wait and see, first.
WHEN was "the age" when there was, supposedly, NO 'corrupted capitalism', WHAT caused the change to the worse/the wrong, and WHY do 'you' NOT do what is needed to change back?
But I get as many questions, and words, as I choose. And, how many you answer, if any, is your choice alone, as well.
By the way, YOUR re-formatting did NOT make your words less nor more 'horrible' NOR less nor more 'harder nor easier to read'. You are still just expressing your Wrong and DISTORTED BELIEFS in the EXACT SAME WAY.

As a rule, chuckles and cutie pie.

Re: Money talks, ethics walks.
Gollum. Pardon a poor Scandinavian's lousy English. Still, that's my experience. People that have flourished the most by the smart move to be born in a family where Capitalism has brought economic, symbolic and cultural capital, are the ones that I find attacking captialism the most.
