What we do matters, but why we are doing what we’re doing matters almost just as much. I agree with the premise of this article, even if the implications are hard to unpack. The choice remains for us to make: what is the highest good and where are we going towards? Even in a world where the highest “good” is pluralistic, we are limited by our humanity, and a pursuit of any intrinsic good comes at the sacrifice of another. At that point we might need to draw a line between what is good just for itself and what is good intrinsically AND instrumentally.. Could that be the source of the structural instrumentalization that we are seeing?
