About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

When anonymous blogging is ethical

Spirit of America, set up by a government think tank with oil money,  has launched a "blog safer" wiki on how to blog anonymosly. They call it 5 initial guides on how to blog more safely. more

Usually ethics in the blogosphere would require people to declare who they are and what their interests are, but in places where there are repressive regimes, this can be very dangerous. So in a spirit of disobedience as a civic duty, in order to help society evolve, it is acceptable to blog anonymously.

A "government think tank with oil money"? WTF? It's not a think tank, it's not a government organ and "oil money"? If anything, it was set up with "software money." Jesus, lady.
