the Razor's Edge, ethics, social reform, the print media, and intuition

***

It's easy to be a spiritual man on the top of a mountain (re: the Razor's edge). Though there is no virtue in resisting sin when there is no temptation.

Ethics becomes not a choice of action, but instead a choice of situation. Certain situations demand certain behaviors (ie. being a politician, businessman, farmer, etc). The ethical choice becomes the choice of the situation one puts oneself into. A person is their situation. The perceiver is the perceived.

Can a person with only one sense judge that sense objectively? Can the living judge life?

Does 'situationism' demand social reform? Yes, though it must be concurrent with individual reform.

The print media has become synonymous with truth. The devaluation of experience and intuition results; these are being unconsciously phased out by emergent social values.
