ChatGPT said I should contact a lawyer before writing a personal ethics document. But I can't afford a lawyer. Am I doomed to be unethical?
Flower
I'm in a transition phase.
I am working designing a tricorder and learning to sing and create pictures and stories about myself and my friends.
I think of my pony OC, Flower, as essentially being me. Flower has several (imaginary) pony friends, along with real friends on social media sites.
It's somewhat an attempt to express myself online, but keep details about myself confidential, to keep myself and others safe.
I want to be a good pony. I think being good involves:
1) Being Respectful. I get worked up at lot about state power, but I think I should be less judgemental and think of authorities as amoral.
2) Don't hurt people. Mostly this means keeping potentially offensive things about yourself confidential.
3) When 1 and 2 are satisfied, try to do helpful things. Small, modest things are the best, as they are least likely to have bad unintended consequences.
And then you can be a good pony. :)
