[FRIAM] Pittsburgh and Ethics (was yay!)

[jon zingale]

Hmm, we should probably start a different thread here as we are beginning to
bend Glen's. While I believe that people are out there thinking about
ethics, I am unsure where to even begin wrt a framework. It seems reasonable
to be doubtful of an academic program as many historical programs that
sought out to speak on the subject have either failed (in my ignorant
estimations) or retreated into sub-disciplines where the exploration could
remain valid. I would need something more conceptually substantive before
diving into such a program.

As far as Pittsburgh, I think I would love to visit again. My experiences in
that city were pre-adult and fairly traumatic. While I was fortunate enough
to get into Taylor Allderdice's magnet program, I lived about an hour away
on the other side of the tracks. It is a part of Pittsburgh that we do not
talk about on Friam or in pleasant company, so please pardon my breaking of
this taboo here. Ironically enough, there is for me a connection between my
experience of Pittsburghs *south-side* culture and the discussion Glen is
attempting to start regarding ethics. So, idk, how should we approach the
question of dissenting voices, charismatic voices, and difference?
