It is comforting to see that you are eloquent enough to write the above sentences, however your behavior and posts seem to be in contrast with kenotic activity.
I'm quite comfortable discussing the ethicality of my actions.
I'm also quite comfortable, at present, with my actions, because I perceive them to be ethical. Happy to consider the possibility that they're not, of course.
First of all, you have vested financial interest regarding blocknet and it is very hard to detach oneself from financial position and be unbiased observer. For instance, one of your latest post was about the blocknet price:
DO NOT POST SESC LINKS
and yet the price did go down.
So you think that I'm trying to hype the price in order to deliver a return on my investment?
What I stated is that "it's unclear whether it'll go down again at all."
I do not believe that this constitutes hype in any sense.
Neither do I believe that it's necessary to be an unbiased observer before one can give predictions on the price (not that I gave a prediction, mind you). All that's necessary is to disclose your bias (which in my case is obvious).
You cannot make these type of statements and consider yourself an ethical person. You remind me of a HBS professor of ethics who was on the BoD of Marriott before they did a Chariot project that screwed their debtholders big time.
I believe that the statement above is ethically quite alright. There's nothing whatsoever wrong with it as far as I can see.
However I'm quite open to be shown what could be wrong with it. Can you spell it out for me?
Even writing books about ethics doesn't mean your actions are ethical.
Of course. Knowledge about ethics doesn't necessitate acting ethically.
But my reason for talking about ethics here wasn't to prove I act ethically, it was to explain why I act the way I act. I
think I act ethically, but anyone's welcome to engage me in discussion about ethics and thereby potentially change the way I decide to act.
