article
Most people think better ethical decision-making is just a matter of stopping
to think before acting. But many moral judgements are intuitive, and then we
rationalise them to ourselves. We have to train both intuition and reasoning,
not rely on one to correct the other.
article
You could try to make ethical decisions by reasoning through. You want to do
good, so you work out what good means. Then you work out what you should do
to achieve the good. Or, you could do what most people do and wing it. Just
make sure you reflect on what you’re doing.
article
Without more tasteful social behaviours to sample from, we’re liable to
attach very strongly to the behaviours of our group. Add a hostile environment,
normalised physical and emotional violence, and a lack of mental and physical
resources, and you have the ingredients for atrocity.
article
The strength of our attraction to a group is a function of how different a
group is from other groups in ways that we feel like we are, or like we want to
be. Our participation in the group depends on how we see it benefitting us, and
see us benefitting the group. The stronger both are, the stronger our biases to
stay engaged.
article
You could think of a collection of group dynamics like ‘groupthink’ or
‘deindividuation’ or whatever are bad. Or you could consider that our social
identity is formed by making the distinctions between in- and out- groups
clear. Then it all makes sense.
Mob mentality is fine
