Padma (Nelumbo nucifera): Dutch Yoga influences ... Victor van Kooten and Dona Holleman * * * Dad (Gordon K MacLeod MD), in his open-mindedness, was also quite open to my choosing Yoga as a career, Re Yoga ethics and Hindu ethics too, I tend toward the hippy and these - http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html * * * Harvard Yoga thinking re osteoporosis: "Yoga: Another way to prevent osteoporosis? A dozen yoga poses, performed daily, may increase bone density," * * * Studying biology at a Haverford, Swarthmore, Earlham or other Quaker school for my kids as undergraduates could have merit as well ... re a possible path to becoming a medical doctor, * * * Good Bobby Burns' celebration piping photo, * * * More about ETHICS in this post - Searched on 'evolutionary biology ethics' (thinking too Jane Goodall & her compassion, & Richard Dawkins & his humaneness, & both their knowledge orientations) - and was glad some Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy articles came up :) - and re Quaker, UU, Hippy, and Yoga ethics too

Glad too Reed College Philosopher and Professor Jan Mieszkowski Tweeted this recently; it seems to come into conversation with my 2001 UC Berkeley paper a little:

Ancient Ethics: I must respect the golden mean
Enlightenment Ethics: I must respect the moral law
Modern Ethics: I can do anything as long as no one is watching
Postmodern Ethics: I can do anything as long as everyone is watching

And hence this exploration of Internetity ethics, Advertising Discourse ethics? and Tourism Studies' ethics? with regard to my paper ... check out the related World University and School wiki subjects as well. (In terms of tourism, my paper examines 1) Modernity, 2) Postmodernity, 3) Advertising discourse as 'conditions,' or context in an anthropological sense, to suggest then that 4) Internetity encompasses and supersedes these conditions to explain tourism in completely new ways - including the touristic experience of visiting nascent online virtual place/touristic sites).

The Hacker Ethic: According to Himanen (from Finland), modern computing has illuminated a new kind of professional. The hacker embraces 7 values: passion, freedom, social worth, openness, activity, caring, & creativity. The hacker ethic is conventionally associated with the technology industry.

ethic:
a code for living a good life (my definition)

ethic |ˈeTHik|
noun [ in sing. ]
a set of moral principles, especially ones relating to or affirming a specified group, field, or form of conduct
(Apple dictionary)

Am appreciative too of "The Desiderata" as ethic:

    Max Ehrmann 


    Desiderata

    Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
    and remember what peace there may be in silence.
    As far as possible without surrender
    be on good terms with all persons.
    Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
    and listen to others,
    even the dull and the ignorant;
    they too have their story.

    Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
    they are vexations to the spirit.
    If you compare yourself with others,
    you may become vain and bitter;
    for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
    Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

    Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
    it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
    Exercise caution in your business affairs;
    for the world is full of trickery.
    But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
    many persons strive for high ideals;
    and everywhere life is full of heroism.

    Be yourself.
    Especially, do not feign affection.
    Neither be cynical about love;
    for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
    it is as perennial as the grass.

    Take kindly the counsel of the years,
    gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
    Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
    But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
    Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
    Beyond a wholesome discipline,
    be gentle with yourself.

    You are a child of the universe,
    no less than the trees and the stars;
    you have a right to be here.
    And whether or not it is clear to you,
    no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

    Therefore be at peace with God,
    whatever you conceive Him to be,
    and whatever your labors and aspirations,
    in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
    it is still a beautiful world.
    Be cheerful.
    Strive to be happy.

    Max Ehrmann, Desiderata, Copyright 1952.

In general I also observe the law and U.S. law or legal ethics, except where I've been a conscientious objector (Quaker peace issues - e.g. except where I've been a conscientious objector in the past (re re-instatement of the selective service / pre-draft in 1979, and my registering as a CO, for example), as well as medicine or medical ethics, and am appreciative that cannabis is now legal in a number of U.S. states.

My ethics tend though to head toward Caring and Loving ethics, probably informed by my wonderful mother and her nurturing caring and loving when I was young ... (and, again, my parents met and married in an Unitarian church in Ohio - see ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/black-rosy-finch-charles-darwins.html) ....
