"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Perfect quote!
And the next level of awareness (there are even more after this) would be
"Is it in the highest good for all involved?" (the perfect Nash equilibrium)

That's what were working on for the singularity. ;)

Gorg's got a HUGE AMOUNT of catalyst/outside forces before it gets to even a "Is it right/ethical?" worldview.
