I did not know that “Ethical” was intended to be an adjective expressing aspiration, a very useful fact. Indeed, “woe to those who identify as an achievement.” To the wisdom of humility! Thanks.
I’ve witnessed the perils to which you refer, including a good amount of dishonesty, disapproval of other members, and public self-righteousness. It’s been off-putting, divisive, and incompatible with my principles and the stated principles of Ethical. Might that be part of why “the movement” hasn’t grown in decades? While a member of Ethical, I am happy to have found more thoughtful conversations and diverse opinions through the Stoicism and philosophy groups often led by Massimo Pigliucci, sometimes in partnership with others. That's a rapidly growing movement locally, nationally, and internationally. There might be something to be learned from it. Just saying, looking in the mirror’s good, but so is looking at what’s happening in the larger competitive universe.
