1:05 This is a wrong example, in ancient Egypt, the pyramid builders were respected by society and had shifts, they were not slaves. They even were buried next to the pyramids they built. Common misconception.

[@mt570]

You're correct, but I think we both know it's not that serious.

[@oscarmudd6579]

The appropriate word is "coercion".

[@johnellis7614]

If telling a lie to save someone else's life, in the process destroys my conscience, surely I do more evil than good. And as humans do not have the intelligence to know the ultimate conclusion of their actions, always tell the truth, never enrich yourself upon the misery of another, and be a pacifist vegetarian with only enough for a comfortable life.

[@BCtruth]

So then Bill Gates, with his charitable foundation, is an evil man, by that standard, right? He has much more than he could ever spend.

[@dorarie3167]

So you wouldn’t lie to save someone’s life? If someone asked you in Nazi Germany if a Jew was hiding in your home (assuming there were), would you say yes to assuage your own conscience and sense of self as an honest person? How fragile is your conscience if a lie destroys it? How little do you value others if your main concern is your own well-being? Or are you being ironic?

[@nathanabrogena6147]

If telling a lie to save someone's life destroys your conscience, telling the truth to endanger someone's life doesn't??

[@camden7806]

Dor Arie i believe you are missing the point. As soon as you make an exception, you become a consequentialist. In this circumstance you either adhere to the virtue of truth, or become a consequentialist. Again, virtue ethics are not associated with time (and consequences).

[@CodyCLI]

"If telling a lie to save someone else's life, in the process destroys my conscience" You're a complete moral reprobate. Low life cunt.

[@burning_trash]

Wtf did this just convince me to enslave the 2%... Jk I know the flaws

[@WolfgangDoghouse]

You seriously couldn't spare 10 seconds to mention Law Utilitarianism, or did you intend on creating a narrative in disguise as educational information?
