A Framework for Ethical Decision Making - Markkula Center for Applied Ethics: "Ethics refers to standards and practices that tell us how human beings ought to act in the many situations in which they find themselves—as friends, parents, children, citizens, businesspeople, professionals, and so on.

Apocalyptic Blindness and the Atomic Bomb
Apocalyptic Blindness and the Atomic Bomb - Teknovatoren: "In this sense, we are inverted utopists, to use Anders’ terminology: while regular utopists are unable to produce what they imagine, we, on the other hand, are unable to imagine what we have produced. When confronted with things we cannot classify, we deal with them as if they didn’t exist at all. The real menace, then, lies not in the bomb itself, but rather in our apocalyptic blindness towards it."
