People who declare themselves as “highly ethical” are wholly untrustworthy. They’re the ones to watch out for because they are trying to scam you out of your money, trying to have sex with you, just pathologically lying to you, or embarrassingly lying to themselves.
Anytime the word “ethics” comes up I pretty much leave the conversation. Like defending the gods it’s a pointless debate and a boring conversation. Haven’t we evolved past the point where we systematize, defend, and recommend concepts of right and wrong? Right and wrong; anchors on a scale. Fluid like water, or mercury. A forth dimension.
There are people I trust with my life, liberty, and property but I know they are not purely ethical. And that’s really good. How else could I trust someone if I don’t understand some of their truths. The same can be said about me. People trust me but I am not purely ethical. But I wear my real truths. I am flawed. But, more importantly, I understand the flaws of self and other.
We all exist somewhere on the aforementioned scale. But where we exist now may be very different from where we have or may someday. Internally, we may change our precepts (for whatever reason) vis-à-vis right and/or wrong. Externally, society may change its precepts (for whatever reason) vis-à-vis right and/or wrong. Balance and clarity cannot exist.
People who declare you as “highly ethical” are, by definition, delusional. They are trying to scam you out of your money, trying to have sex with you, just pathologically lying to you, or sadly, just have no clue how humans work. They are also the ones to watch out for.
