It’s going to depend on your interest or ability to research. However, if one were to simply buy used items when possible, or choose a brand one thinks aligns with themselves after some research, I think that’s a good start.
Agreed.
Tony’s Chocolonely is a good example of this, it’s not that they are 100% there but they explain why certain decisions were made so i can decide for myself if it’s enough.
If one thinks they might need compromise their morals, I think they should really consider their options. I’d rather pay full price for an old used GPU than give nvidia any money, but that’s my personal opinion.
I do know what you mean, i’m just not 100% sure where the morals/ethics line is supposed to go.
I’m not amoral it just seems like people arbitrarily draw lines and they seem so certain.
I’m not sure where that certainty comes from, because i don’t have it.
I think this is just because car companies weren’t yet starting to surveil their drivers as part of a new revenue stream until 2014. You can read more about it.
interesting, thanks.
I don’t expect everyone to live like this, not everyone has the luxury. But I do hope people atleast try to not pay companies that harm them.
I kind of agree, but this is the kind of thing i mean, almost all companies harm them in some way, from business practices to supply chain, workforce, political donations, equipment purchases, environmental concerns.
I’m not a crazy person, i understand there is a difference between the local corner store buying a bigger truck than they need vs bezos draining whole water tables so he can buy another spaceship, it’s just how people pick the hills to die on in the middle that’s confusing to me.
I have something i use but it’s contextual and inconsistent and by no means gives me the kind of certainty i see in other people.

You have to draw your own lines, ones that are important to you. You shouldn’t let others tell you where does lines are.
As Martin Luther King Jr said:
Ultimately you must do right because it’s right to do right. . . . You must do it because it has gripped you so much that you are willing to die for it if necessary. And I say to you this morning, that if you have never found something so dear and so precious to you that you will die for it, then you aren’t fit to live.
Agreed.
