Ethics: Tuesday, August 31, 2021

[sith_happened]

"Hello," Anakin said, sweeping into the classroom with his cloak swooping behind him (and yes, he did practice to make it look cool. Shh.) "I am Anakin Skywalker, this is Ethics class, and you will sit down, shut up, and learn something."

It was best to set the tone early.

"Since it's the first week of classes, you may think that today will be about introductions, and it is, in a way. Our school is on a multidimensional nexus that brings beings of all ages and experiences together. So my question is a short one: do you think there are ethics? Is there anything universal in our standards of conduct that unites us across space and time?"

So starting out easy, Anakin.

He pointed to the student to his left. "You. Go."

"Oh, there are absolutely ethics," Terra said with a nod. "Universal, though? Not really. Where I'm from, there's a Realm where traditionally, moving up the chain of command involves killing your superior. Most everywhere else calls that murder, though."
