Nah. They’re promoting ethics. For something interesting it has to be UN=ethical!

This is not an appropriate forum for a philosophical discussion, but how does one determine what is “unethical” without establishing what is “ethical?”

Even if one asserts a system of (normative) ethics, one must still address the questions asked by meta-ethics. People smarter than I have been writing about and discussing this for centuries.

I read your post as being “tongue-in-cheek,” and I do not know the details of what was discussed at this conference. Nevertheless, I would be delighted if companies started talking about right and wrong–and the long term–rather than only fixating on the next quarter’s earnings.

Remember I’m all about humor, your call about tongue-in-cheek was correct on the first try.
