Is the concept of money ethical?

If you can save someone would you?

Then why does an imaginary value or a piece of paper dictate whether or not people can get life saving surgery?

Is putting a certain value to human life ethical?

Morality of pirating games and movies in a war torn country?

Hello

I’m 29 yo, been living in Lebanon all my life.

We’ve been at war with Israel countless times, for reasons i will not go into. I do not take sides with anyone.

There’s no healthcare, minimum wage is 300$, unemployment is high, elderly rely on kids to support them, housing crisis due to inflation, literally no electricity except private generators that cost an eye and a leg (400$ for 10 ampere), corrupt politicians that took people’s money from banks (look it up if you think I’m joking, some people put 300k life savings in banks and took it out 100k. I wish i had 10k in the bank even, lol)

Given someone born his entire life there, is it moral to pirate everything basically since life has been harsh by making me spawn here and live ?

Ironically even pirating is a hassle since download speeds are 10 mbps at best (open speed DSL. I know i can opt to fiber, but building infrastructure does not allow it. (Internet speed not a morality excuse to pirate maybe)

does right and wrong even exist

what is morality? Can something be objectively right or wrong? Why is killing someone wrong? Because someone else feels sad if they die? Is that objective? Why is anything right or wrong? Why is it I "innately" want "good" for other people? Is that proof of objective morality? Does morality only exist when I see the other party as equal to myself? Why do people eat meat even after understanding the evil of the industry and not feel bad? Why are vegans so shocked humans are capable of such "evils" even after seeing the things they would do to their own race? How can war mongering scum see themselves as righteous?

Morality of working for a company that uses AI despite being anti-ai?

2 Upvotes

I currently work as a performer in a hotel. In one of our shows we’re using an AI character projected on the screen. How moral is it for me to keep working here while being anti-ai? This is company implementation rather than individuals choosing to use it. I can’t object or express my views to customers or guests.

This is a genuine question; are rapists morally obligated to kill themselves?

1 Upvotes

If someone really regrets what happened and wants to better themselves is the best course of action suicide?

Do rapists deserve to be alive and have lives after harming someone like that? Do they get to pursue happiness and love in the future or are they at the very least obligated to isolate themselves from society?

Survey Morality of defending your spouse’s honour?

A woman tells that she went to a restaurant and randomly called some passing fat stranger “Winnie-the-Pooh”. The insulted person called his wife over, who promptly beat the woman in the video. Police was called, etc. The woman in the video still “doesn’t understand what wrong thing had I done?”.

It is very likely that the woman doesn’t tell the full story but that’s all we may know from her publicised point of view.
