Notes
gollark: Again, popular ≠ good.
gollark: > That's like saying: Rules are bad and should be disregarded. Ethics are an important thing.You have not actually justified this, so it's basically circular.> We use ethics the entire time, disregarding ethics would mean disregarding schools of thoughtPopular/widely used things are not necessarily good.
