Capitalism

• A social construct?

• A set of technologies?

Technology
is part of our lives and it also
shapes it

With great power comes great responsibility

“It is impossible to work in information technology without also engaging in social engineering.”

Jaron Lanier

wikipedia

Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct.

Ethics is about US

What is right to do?
What systems or frameworks should we make to help?
What behaviour is and isn't permissible or desirable?
What kinds of opportunities are we making available or not?
What does a good life look like?

What ought we create?

What direction are we taking the world in?
