Every day the world over people are doing the right thing. They get up and work on
solving the big problems we face and they are creating solutions. Unfortunately
there are too many people whose good/goals serve only themselves. For their good
they must tear down the stuctures that have built our civil societies. In this toxic
culture of lies and greed we are at at a tipping point: Pandora's chest is wide
open: technology with great threat & promise balanced on a knife edge of
conscience (gene editing/drive technology; Live fake video; 3d printing; voice duplication; Job loss to
AI tech; loss of privacy...) Toxic culture thrives- empowered liars destroy the trust
and respect required in a civil society. Climate chaos is ending our faith in
each other while the greedy seek to capitalize every last fossil fuel dollar. From
obscene pharmaceutical prices; obscene CEO compensation; insecure housing and
work; paying creative artists peanuts for their music; we see corruption greed &

Good civil goals fused to ethical rights

bad behaviour everywhere. Corruption so pervasive Industries built on the altruism of others choose
business models that harm people even though gifted their products (insulin; Linux; the GPL; the
Creative Commons;...)
The foundations of civil society: duel paradigms of Good and Right, have been under attack for
decades: me generation; greed is good generation. The Good, defined by aspirations and goals have
turned negative, everyone for themselves. The civil good subsumed by the goals of greedy corrupt
actors, results in ever greater inequity and social disruption. Right, the rule of law, conscience and
justice are shredded by graft, corruption, fear, hypocrisy and lies The rule of law disappears when there
is no one to apply it, no Justice when there is no one to enforce it, no conscience when the worst of the
corrupt are held up as examples to emulate.
Ending this cycle of destruction starts with acknowledging the patterns and changing them. Good and
right individually have failed us, our need is to fuse good with right for everyone. We may never agree
on every good/goal, but we can start putting civil society first. Restoring conscience and consequences
with a Justice that is not blind, will help restore the rule of law. Analyzing our own goals and those of
people around us we can ask do these goals help or hurt others? this. I grew up in a family where we
were constantly correcting each other on our grammar, we wound up with decent grammar, we need
that same kind of nudging to get to a better place fast.
In the now & near future as AI's and robots are running the machines of Industry, driving our cars,
building our structures, growing our food, erasing many job categories, we will need to be our better
selves. At this moment of toxic culture, powerful scary tech is within the reach of many, only good
insight & aspirations fused to the right of good conscience & rule of law will keep us civil. We can start
helping each other, or continue hurting each other on a massive new scale. Nudging our way to our
better selves is a starting point. Conceptualize good fused to right for everyone: Goodright. Lets stop
rewarding bad behaviour and start promoting good and right for everyone!
For my part I will aspire to goodright. Some goodright challenges will be posted soon.
