Guilt is adaptive. When you feel bad about violating certain moral precepts, it's human. You're being reflective, and there's a path towards better behavior. When you keep giving yourself permission to be bad and writing it off, a part of you withers. It's corrosive. #Ethics

I have an idea for a fun exercise. I know not everyone agrees with the Categorical Imperative not to lie, but I wonder how long you could go without lying in your own life. Maybe count the hours + days and report back? We could have a leaderboard and everything. #PhilSky

What would be an example of Kantianism in everyday life? How might we treat people as worthwhile in and of themselves, rather than as means to an end? (Not rhetorical.)

I'm sure many are familiar with the Dark Triad, but are y'all aware of the Light Triad? It notably includes Kantianism as one of its three pillars. So often psych concepts seem only focused on pathologizing negative behavior. Nice to see a counterweight. Thoughts? #PhilSky #EduSky

Why is the co-working space I use always busy on Tuesdays? Even the common areas are swamped. Yikes.

Glad #PhilSky already exists after all. Please, anyone who's interested in #Metaethics or *Normative Ethics,* hmu anytime. I'm not an academic, but I've read a bunch as a uni student and an autodidact. #EduSky

Should I make a #PhilSky feed? Would y'all support that? I'm not an academic, but I'd love to collate and promote people who are. Plus some really credible and competent autodidacts.
