Ethics can’t be a side hustle

This is a good point, and I think it&#x27;s critical to remember; you shouldn&#x27;t work on something you consider ethically wrong. Do consider the moral implications of your work. But I also think it&#x27;s missing something: not everyone working on such things considers them ethically wrong, and not everyone shares the same ethical principles.<p>This article seems like a good way to reach people who are doing something they already consider wrong, to get them to stand up, stop, object, blow the whistle.<p>But I would guess that the <i>majority</i> of people working on projects that some consider unethical don&#x27;t actually consider themselves or their project unethical. Whether by rationalization, or by differing values and principles, people working on such projects may well think they&#x27;re doing the <i>right</i> thing, improving the world.<p>Not everyone working on something you consider evil thinks they&#x27;re doing evil. You need a different strategy to reach people who think they&#x27;re doing something right than to reach those who already think they&#x27;re doing something wrong.
