RE: Let's Talk—Why Are You Not Buying and Powering Up Steem?

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

What strikes me most these days is the fact that many people rely on the economic mechanisms in every area of life, and abandon the ethical element to life. This creates all sorts of social pathologies, and we as humans let some stupid, selfish social mechanisms rule over our everyday life without referring to any ethical code. Most caring professions do have some form of an ethical code because most people think that this is the area (health and care services) where the ethical code is necessary. Apart from this, oh let's just be liberal. A POS post from a friend is so much more valuable than a good quality content from somebody we don't know. Well, we tend to forget that our Western civilisation was built on ethics whether we like it or not. But these days, people don't get ostracised for being greedy and unfair because they are greedy and unfair. Oh, its just fine - we must let the economy and the free market rule. And it is no surprise to me that, at the end of the day, we wake up in the same crap we earlier had decided to fight against. Do we at all consider the respect of others valuable these days? Perhaps somebody will come up with an idea to monetise respect? How about FairCoin?
