Ethics, Tuesday, September 24, 2024
"Sooner or later, regardless of whatever your own personal ethics turn out to be, you will face someone who has decided you don't live up to theirs," Ahsoka said. "Sadly, while hope lives eternal, these people will rarely be open to honest discussion about the matter."
Anakin had no idea who she might be talking about! None!
"Many times the conversation, such as it is, begins from a place of defensiveness," Anakin said. "No one likes to hear they've been disappointing."
Of course he didn't! Why would he? "It doesn't help when the kind of people are volunteering these kinds of opinions are equally unlikely to take a diplomatic approach." You can say they were judgmental assholes, Ahsoka, everyone was picking up on that subtext.
"Telling strangers to 'do better' on social media, for instance," Anakin said, "does nothing other than make the person writing that look smug and judgmental." He shrugged. "My wife is a journalist. She gets a lot of unhelpful feedback."
"So what are some actually helpful ways of dealing with...let's go with differences in ethical expectations?"
"And you can't start with lightsaber duels," Anakin added, nodding.

Listen to the lecture!
What would you do?
Re: What would you do?
That wasn't nearly as true as it used to be.
"There are conversations I've tried to have, and failed. Ones I need to try again."
Someday he wanted Ignis to hate him less. Someday!
Talk to Anakin and Ahsoka!
