I think the failure is indicative with the trend that boils down to this: the more insulated you become to the failure of decisions made by yourself and others like you it’s easier to make bad ones. When you don’t have to deal with the ethics of the actions taken and their consequence what incentive does anyone have to do better?

On the direct question you asked, YC and others should have some form of a course on ethics and ethical decision making and ideally how they teach that should be public for the sake of transparency and scrutiny.

I want to state for the record I also don’t have all the answers to the seemingly exponentially increasing ethical concerns unfolding in 2025.

[-]: for clarity I think ethics is a better defined for what we are talking about in practice
