There’s a certain point where neglect becomes malice. The bystander effect has a name for a reason; it’s not the obvious way humans should behave.


Neither is compelling others to behave in a way that you, particularly, think is morally justified, and trying to lobby to have them forced to comply.

Working for a business that doesn’t also happen to be charity isn’t neglecting the needy. Charging rates that fairly reflect the value of your work isn’t malice to those who can’t or don’t want to pay your rates.


I think a lot of these platitudes don’t hold true when your company is not just providing a product but in fact infrastructure for a nation.
