clever boi<p>You cannot introduce an amoral agent into a world inhabited by moral agents without the agent being immoral. Disavowing morality does not give you a pass on it.</p><p>Corporations cannot exist as amoral because they are in a world filled with moral humans. The motivation of profit over people is inevitably immoral, even if it is what the US Supreme Court ordered for-profit corporations to do.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/morality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>morality</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ethics</span></a></p>

Mojo ♻️<p>Fascinating but not surprising: smarter people tend to question moral foundations more, especially those based on tradition, conformity or group loyalty.

Todd Lyons 🪶<p>People with higher cognitive ability tend to endorse moral values less strongly across the board, according to new research published in the journal Intelligence. The pattern held across two independent studies and did not differ by gender. These findings challenge popular assumptions that smarter people hold stronger or more “enlightened” moral values.</p><p><a href="https://www.psypost.org/people-with-higher-cognitive-ability-have-weaker-moral-foundations-new-study-finds/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">psypost.org/people-with-higher</span><span class="invisible">-cognitive-ability-have-weaker-moral-foundations-new-study-finds/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/behaviour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>behaviour</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/behavior" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>behavior</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/morality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>morality</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ethics</span></a></p>
