I had another go at watching Quiet Rage which
is the title of the video. It is about 20 minutes long
(guessing through the casette window).
It is as fakey as if you shot an episode of Cops=20
using actors. Can't get more fakey than that.
Is THAT what they teach in psychology courses?
(I never took any)
the subtext of all this is that ethics is situational
rather than an act of will, at least in this world.
whereas the rest of us are Kantian/Platonic
idealists and hope we dont have the bad luck
to be forced to dishonour ourselves in this
life, right?
