This one goes wrong sooner by equating “moral” with “ethical”.
No like Wikipedia? I guess you are an Encyclopedia Britannica guy, then. I bolded the important bit.
Encyclopedia Britannica Wrote:Generally, the terms ethics and morality are used interchangeably, although a few different communities (academic, legal, or religious, for example) will occasionally make a distinction. In fact, Britannica’s article on ethics considers the terms to be the same as moral philosophy. While understanding that most ethicists (that is, philosophers who study ethics) consider the terms interchangeable, let’s go ahead and dive into these distinctions.https://www.britannica.com/story/whats-t...and-ethics
I've told you this before. Unless you are a lawyer, ethics is indistinct from morality. Philosophers use the terms interchangeably. This is a philosophy thread, not a courtroom.
I'll get to the rest of what you said later.
It was nice to see your post, man.
