Shoesmith Life Cycle LLCAs I commemorate my birthday today, I am thankful for the opportunity to retain a sense of innocence and enthusiasm, as illustrated in the photo. My earnest desire is for everyone to strive for a world where the Golden Rule is the guiding principle. Sadly, this simple yet profound wisdom seems to be lost in our increasingly complex world. I invite you to share this post and participate in making March 6th a day of renewed commitment to the values of empathy, kindness, and compassion. <a href="https://me.dm/tags/goldenrule" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goldenrule</a>

mcjevansRight and wrong in the universe are closely tied with the concept of consistency. Virtue ethics has "do unto others and you would have them do unto you". Deontology has "act only in those ways that should become universal law". In contractarianism, consent is the basis of ethics and (absent any other information from those specific other people) we should treat others in a way we ourselves would consent to be treated.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/consent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#consent</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/contractualism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#contractualism</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/deontology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deontology</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ethics</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/GoldenRule" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoldenRule</a>

Adrian Riskin 🇵🇸🍉I experience myself as a unique individual rather than as a member of any abstract group.I assume that most people also experience themselves this way even though I, like many people, do group others abstractly when it's useful to me.While doing that, although it's not always easy, I try to stay conscious of the fact that such groupings don't reflect objective qualities of the people. That the grouped people are ultimately individuals rather than group representatives. This is a kind of grace, of forgiveness, that human beings owe one another reciprocally. The human world would dissolve without it.I find that I can understand a lot of people's behavior towards me by remembering that, although they know that I'm an individual, they also need to see me as a whole range of group representatives in order to carry on, just as I have to do with them, and that it's not always easy for them to be mindful of both things, just as it's hard for me.But this is primarily an interhuman matter. People don't think about fish as individuals when they drop a net in the water. Some kinds of fish are better to eat than others, and we make up groupings to reflect that fact, but hunting for a particular individual fish would be unusual. When picking fruit we just pick the best fruit for our purpose. The identity of the fruit as an individual being is irrelevant to our purposes and so is invisible to us. Sometimes the abstraction obscures the very existence of individual organisms. A jar of kim chee has zillions of bacteria in it, the very bacteria which created the food, and we eat them without even being conscious that they're there.We harvest other living things en masse for our sustenance and we group them solely by their utility to us. But we interact, negotiate, cooperate, and quarrel with other humans as individuals or, when grouped, with the consciousness that they are individuals.. If people are acting on this principle then it's necessary to understand the principle to understand what they're doing. But what if they're not acting on this principle?Here's a puzzle. An apartment complex has a thousand tenants and provides its owner with a large annual income. The owner realizes that he can illegally evict all the tenants, pay lawyers to minimize the consequences, level the buildings, build a fully automatic car wash with no employees , hire security to protect it from vengeful former tenants, many of whom have become homeless, and his income will increase by 4%. From the owner's point of view, how is this different from a person's deciding whether to eat another bite of kim chee?<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anarchism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GoldenRule" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoldenRule</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MobyDick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MobyDick</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TroutFishingInAmerica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TroutFishingInAmerica</a>
