There has been significant academic writing on the topic of ethics, looking at a large population and hypothesizing that higher standards of ethics are needed.
ESG is pushed in academia, and throughout a corporate system, generally from ruling bodies that themselves are unethical and in violation of laws.
The government is supposed to be a representative government (in the United States), and is a steward to the People. By using the structure of an institution to justify hypocrisy, doesn't that invalidate the legitimacy of the instituin itself?
When properly created laws dont fit the interests of politicians, the politicians violate the laws regularly, whether on issues of insider trading, vaccines mandates, immigration, taxes, retirement savings, or simply public service vs expecations for entitlement.
When science is clear that masks do not prevent spread of viruses that are smaller than mask filters, systems still push a non-scientific, bullying approach to force mask onto the very people that they are stewards to despite science and data to the contrary.
When free speech is a right and protected act, governed by the ultimate law of the land, how is it acceptable to any person seeking ESG, to allow censorship and cancel culture?
When insider trading is a violation of laws but federal reserve presidents and congress and senators do it regularly, there is hypocrisy and loss of legitimacy in the institutions.
When healthcare leaders receive royalty payments as incentives for directing business and prescriptions, doesn't it shake the foundations of transparency, ethics and conflicts of interest to the core?
If we want diversity, equity and inclusion in society, should we review sports team racial makeup, or is that untouchable? When "Black Lives Matter" is painted on basketball courts for a season, should Hispanics, Whites, Asians feel racially slurred?
Why are there "ladies night out" specials in an age that fought against gender preferences?
Why are 30% of government contracts withheld for people based on gender and race?
Hypocrisy is ruining the trust and integrity in society, but the hypocrisy comes from the top, and the most hypocritical are the ones setting policy that they themselves do not adhere to.
Is humanity on a collision course with the mirror of hypocrisy, or will institutional leadership be required to end the hypocrisy from the top?
We see hypocrisy from the top at all institutions, and the most devastating aspect is that, because of the hypocrisy at the top, a culture of hypocrisy exists throughout.
As a citizen, tax payer and white male who has been questioned and censored for using free speech, critical thinking, facts, data, science and analysis, I have legitimate concerns about the lack of integrity at the top and the hypocrisy allowed by pitically connected organizations, and the consequences of such divisive, hypocritical living and bullying leads to lack of trust, and a breakdown in society. It also weakens a society, perhaps the ultimate game plan for those living the hypocrisy.
Comments?
Obviously, hypocrisy does more harm than good across all sectors, and I don't see it ending soon because some of us are benefitting hugely at the expense of the rest of the population
