Ethos

Principles

The Golden Rule: Positive

  • short: golden_rule_positive
  • long: What I wish done to myself, I do to others.

The Golden Rule: Negative

  • short: golden_rule_negative
  • long: I do not do to others what I do not wish done to myself.

Declarations

Respect the Categorical Imperative

  • short: categorical_imperative
  • long: I act as if the maxims of my action were to become through my will a universal law of nature.
  • reference: the Kantian Categorical Imperative

Acknowledge the Existence of Another Ethos

  • short: ack_other_ethos
  • long: I acknowledge the existence of other ethos(es) than mine.

Judgement Invitation

  • short: judge_invite
  • long: I make myself subject of my own declarations and invite others who do the same to judge me by them.

Web Cookies

  • short: web_cookies_level2
  • long: I accept only cookies that are required for the obvious functionality of the site.
  • basis: Conform to the negative golden rule: I do not use optional (for example tracking and advertising) cookies on the sites that I create. I expect others to do the same unless I opt in.

Compatibility

No Contradiction Claim

  • short: no_contradiction_claim
  • long: I will not transact with persons who have not answered all types of claims that contradict their own ethos. (If I can avoid it.)

Have the Top Virtues Explicit

  • short: defined_top
  • long: I will not transact with persons who have not defined their top values/virtues in their ethos.

Known Identity

  • short: known_identity
  • long: I will not transact with people who do not share their official/legal identity.

Reciprocal Declarations

  • short: reciprocal_declarations
  • long: I confer to other people the level of trust that corresponds to the reciprocal declarations.

Example: If I judge_invite and the other person does the same: we can engage in constructive criticism about our ethos(es) or actions. That means we accept that the other person may make the conversation public in part or in whole.

Reciprocal_declarations is a powerful tool of ethos cooperation and it confers access to levels of personal trust that have not been achieved at scale in human history.
