While we can’t ignore ethics because it is how we deal with people, the concepts don’t have to be heavy. Here are some unfamiliar yet practical ideas that we will explore and apply to our lives: The Golden and other (better?) Rules. The Tragedy of the Commons: Individuals exploit public resources until they are exhausted and all lose. What can be done? Q: Where does morality come from? A: Even chimps have it, says DeWaal. Surprise! You are a fiduciary and the fiduciary contract is the heart of ethics. Tit-for-Tat as a scientific moral guide. Moral Injury and Institutional Betrayal. The world is not just, but it seems we have to believe it is. What are the consequences?
