Re: [libreplanet-discuss] An ethical compass for progress

[C.W. Epema]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for sharing your insights about monitoring progress with the LibrePlanet 
community. I cannot speak for all community members of course, but for me I can 
say that I am happy with your contribution.

First I think it is important to discuss themes like you submitted to 
LibrePlanet.
I believe it will help us better to find the position of Free software within 
our societies.

Your claim in the article says "In every society there are essential pillars 
that support the society". 
I can follow your claim for positive societies (pillars will possibly be 
supporting life, supporting peace and so on) . But what about the pillars of 
society for more negative societies (=do not support life, do not support 
peace)?

Is a moral or ethical compass still viable for "negative societies"? Would the 
pillars for "negative societies" be opposed to "positive societies"?
Is it okay regarding your article to split societies in negative or positive?

Kind regards,

Kees
