A particularly cutting piece I like to remember is:
"But here’s the thing. You can’t help Uber build Greyball during the day, or help Palantir design databases to round up immigrants as your main gig, and then buy ethics offsets by doing a non-profit side hustle. We need you to work ethically during that day job much more than we need you working with that non-profit." -- https://deardesignstudent.com/ethics-cant-be-a-side-hustle-b...
He's outspoken and hard lined and uncomfortable to listen to. But he's probably right as well.
If that’s the case then I simply won’t do anything at all and focus on my day job.
But I don’t think that’s the case, because I think doing something is still better than nothing, and for some people ethics offsets can help soothe their weary souls.
