Just because the world is amoral doesn't mean that you have to be

A lot of us are adopting the same moral logic as Bezos, Zuck, and Bill, just on a much smaller scale. I recently saw a vid sharing how much money they've been able to make from generating those AI fruit videos and instructing their followers on how to do the same. And I'm not blaming this creator exactly, because we live in and in a world that incentivizes us to do whatever we can for people's attention. But it's dangerous because this in turn incentivizes others to think about how to make money, usually at the cost of our fellow humans. And when they see vids, they think that it's permission. Permission to flood the internet with content that they don't really care about making and that no one really benefits from receiving. Permission to treat human attention as something to harvest and permission to ask, how much money can I make from this? Not should I make money from this? And we often feel like this is the trade off that we have to make, understandably, because we live in a world where making money via a traditional job is becoming increasingly exhausting. People are overworked, underpaid, and constantly squeezed on every single end. And because we don't usually have a framework in mind to push against this sort of thinking, we drift into the sort of amorality where the decisions we make to help ourselves survive, outside of the context and impacts that they have on others, we start making decisions in the same way that large corporations do by justifying and thinking about how much money we can make and not the impact that we can have. In light of all of this, I would like to share that morality still matters. The choices we make daily still matter, and the world is impacted by those choices every single day.
