In working through a strategy, which I usually do while just walking around, driving, listening to others, or writing, I do not shy from unethical and immoral options any more than I do moral or costly options. Once you find a solution the problem lies only in finding a solution that is not UNETHICAL or IMMORAL. This is the problem with moralizm. You limit yoru scope of conception. Or, you are too weak of character to eliminate the unethical and immoral choices until you find an amoral or moral means of achieving the same end.

The difference is, that because I look for negative externalities, frauds, theft
The difference is, that because I look for negative externalities, frauds, thefts, exchanges, positive transfers, and positive externalities I CALCULATE that an action is immoral, amoral, or moral, and you INTUIT it.
I have the AGENCY to consider all possibilities and choose the moral, amoral, or the immoral as required.
This is the lesson of sun tzu, machiavelli, and aristotle – as well as every other general: morals are not truths but utilities, not knowledge but habits. The great books of wisdom and strategy are written so that we do not make the mistakes of christians and allow ourselves to be conquered, for having forgotten how to fight.
They are written to ensure that we are civilized by reason not by habit..
I have agency. I am not an animal. My intuitions provide information only. My reason rules my decisions. Moral, amoral, immoral, as needed.

THE GREEK CIVIL RESPONSIBILITY NOT PERSONAL RELIGION
In his book on the subject, Did the Greeks Believe Their Myths?, Paul Veyne writes:
—“Myth is truthful, but figuratively so. It is not historical truth mixed with lies; it is a high philosophical teaching that is entirely true, on the condition that, instead of taking it literally, one sees in it an allegory.”—

I don’t do ‘mad’. Emotions as motivations are for animals. I do reciprocity, returns, eugenics and evolution. My fellow humans understand. You animals don’t, because you can’t. Agency is a property of humans alone. Hence why domesticated animals must be ruled by humans.

Why is this complicated? Seriously. Disapproval, Shaming, Ridiculing in response
Why is this complicated? Seriously.
Disapproval, Shaming, Ridiculing in response to an attempted theft or fraud vs. Disapproval Shaming, Ridiculing in response to covering an attempted theft or fraud.
Now, for some reason, it’s floating around, as DSR is a universal vs a particular: in other words, shaming people for a crime rather than for not letting them commit a crime.
