Being ethical is often aligned with being boring. I don't want the employees at my insurance company doing anything exciting with my personal information.

The ethical and boring axes are orthogonal.

I didn't expect to read that ethical and boring are aligned during Black History Month (US).

I would still argue that orderly actions that follow an established code tend to be boring, and that such codes are generally set up to encourage ethical actions.
Or with two ton metal death traps going at 100mph.

Boring in manufacturing is good.
