(and don't even think of NOT kudosing this post, dammit)

I think you're on to something.

My ethics are based on getting virtual kudos and avoiding virtual thumbs-down, because I'm a social animal, and compliments make me like myself, and too much criticism makes me dislike myself.  That's really about it.  I don't want people to say "Tsk tsk what a thief.  What a loser."  So I don't steal.  I don't want people to say, "Fucking monster!  How can you kick a cute little puppy!?"  So I don't kick puppies.  I want people to say, "Ooooh. . . what a swell guy!" so I help old ladies cross the street, or stay after work.

. . . and ethics is born.
