19:02:12 | Lucifer | Lucifer has changed the topic on #virus to "The value of a promise" |
19:02:29 | Lucifer | Welcome to the weekly chat |
19:02:37 | Lucifer | today's topic is a moral dilemma |
19:02:52 | Lucifer | A friend confides to you that he has committed a particular crime and you promise never to tell. |
19:03:07 | Lucifer | Discovering that an innocent person has been accused of the crime, you plead with your friend to give himself up. |
19:03:16 | Lucifer | He refuses and reminds you of your promise. What should you do? In general, under what conditions should promises be broken? |
19:04:47 | rhino | A dilemma... what virtues have we put against each other here? |
19:05:16 | Lucifer | all of them: reason, empathy and vision ;) |
19:06:06 | Lucifer | For empathy, put yourself in your friend's place. Then the accused. |
19:06:31 | rhino | the specific conflict seems to be loyalty to friendship and credibility vs fairness? |
19:06:40 | Th3Hegem0n | am i allowed to talk? |
19:06:46 | rhino | yes |
19:06:47 | Lucifer | Th3Hegem0n, sure |
19:06:50 | Th3Hegem0n | lol k |
19:06:57 | Lucifer | as long as you stay on topic |
19:07:03 | rhino | thet's why Eli sent you here after all |
19:07:08 | Th3Hegem0n | we are assuming we care about the innocent person? |
19:07:12 | Th3Hegem0n | -.-' |
19:07:28 | Lucifer | No, we don't necessarily know the innocent person |
19:07:31 | Lucifer | Does it matter? |
19:07:41 | Th3Hegem0n | I would say yes, but you probably wouldn't like that. |
19:08:01 | Lucifer | You're worried about what we would like to hear? |
19:08:15 | Th3Hegem0n | Not really, i'm just making a prediction. |
19:08:42 | Lucifer | If the accused is your child I don't think there is much of a dilemma left |
