I was pleasantly surprised when someone posted my story about how my life changed when I started caring about the people I don't hire (although my ISP was not).

In wading through all the comments I categorize the reactions into two camps:

1) That's cool. 2) You're asking too much.

I am preparing an essay addressing most of the issues but I thought I'd share my thoughts on inventiveness because, after all, what happened was that my job candidates and I together invented a new process; nothing had been pre-planned.

My dad told me the secret to success was to not be evil (way before google). He didn't care if I became rich but he would be ashamed of me if I were evil.

This story from a someone who picked me up hitchhiking really makes a point about the relationship between good, evil, and inventiveness. Hope you like it.
