While I fully agree with you I think the key part is what you say at the end.

> some number of them will not obey their conscience.

Let's just hope that as time progresses that more will follow their conscience. I honestly think that as our other needs are being taken care of that people are able to act more on their own personal ethics. It is substantially easier to be ethical when you can put food on the table.

Very well put.

I’m still concerned, though... addition to basic security, some people will compromise ethics for status. In particular, an observation JL made in the book is that people staying in the finance industry despite reservations were often parents buying their kids a fancy education.

Abolish Harvard to fix Facebook? Less Eton, more ethics?
