During the recent pandemic, many councils of ethics were asked where to go. They didn't have a guideline at hand, or were too much a coward to take a clear stance. Morals and Ethics are some kind of frivolous hobby to politics and people. To politics which constantly is staring at the bookkeeping, tax rules and the selfish demands of their voters. Demands which are driven by dysfunctional paradigms such as _freedom, god, love, happiness_ and so on and so on. Ethics needs to be taught at the breakfast table to the kids by sufficient educated parents. Which is an utopian demand.

I guess the politicians forgot that ethics/morality is what keeps society from chaos (way before the laws they make), and thus should be considered very important and taught everywhere (like advertisements).

@@languageandphilosophy maybe also people's awareness should get increased about the contradictory nature of many ethical and moral standards. There is no solution in pushing dysfunctional paradigms without showing the limits of these. This is what I call enlightenment. And not this boring and dangerous pro and contra positioning.
