what is the furthest you’d go immorally for a fresh salary? Hell I’d work for Palantir for a nice $250k or be a manager at Evil Corporation Inc if I got a crisp $300k.

or are you a goody two shoes who will stand by your principles even if it means pain!

    Neat! I’m gonna come back to this once I’ve finished work. I was using the OED definitions and understanding:

    Ethics – Rules of conduct in a particular culture or group recognised by an external source or social system. For example, a medical code of ethics that medical professionals must follow.

    Morals – Principles or habits relating to right or wrong conduct, based on an individual’s own compass of right and wrong.

    But this idea of an Aristotelian understanding of ethics vs morals is fascinating. Thank you for the link :-D

    Also it is not obvious from your original comment that English is a secondary language for you <3 French is on my bucket list, but I want to learn basic German first. Both for etymological reasons primarily

      You’re more than welcome.

      Thx (here you might want to add a blushing emoji, if there is such a thing)

      This would make sense.

      Plus, ignoring any other consideration, German language has produced quite a few remarkable authors/poets/philosophers that are more than worth (re)reading. I would not want to have to decide between French and German (or English) but I can understand the desire to prioritize one above the others.
