How to Define Ethics
Forrest Landry joins us for the first public podcast interview he has ever done. In this episode, Daniel Schmachtenberger interviews Forrest on the principles of ethics and choice. This is a critical conversation because we need to make choices in a different way than we have up to this point in history due to technology giving us ever increasing capacity for our choices to make huge impacts. We discuss:
- What differentiates morals from ethics?
- What is a good choice and what is a loving choice?
- The toolkit for making choices.
- Asking better questions.
- Formalizing the process of ethical consideration for the world we live in with exponential tech.
- The distinction between choice and decision.
- Being, becoming and doing.
- Being in right relationship with yourself, other people and the world.
The ethical gap is essentially a reference to the difference between what our technology gives us the capacity to do and what our wisdom is to know what we should do. -Forrest Landry
