Hvorfor har ikke etikk-professorer bedre oppførsel?
Filosofen Eric Schwitzgebel funderte på om de som underviser i etikk har bedre moral enn andre. Dengang ei:
"At a recent philosophy conference, [Eric] offered chocolate to anyone who filled in a questionnaire asking whether ethicists behaved better than other philosophers.
It wasn't long before an ethics professor stole a chocolate without filling in a questionnaire. (This reminds me of a famous psychology study that found that trainee priests on their way to give a talk on 'The Good Samaritan' mostly ignored someone in need if they were in a hurry!)."
Som det heter: Those who can't do, teach. Mer om saken kan leses på denne bloggen: Mind Hacks: Why don't ethics professors behave better?

Hvordan finner du fram til all denne impertinente moroa? spør en som underviser.
Ved å lese (alt for mange) interessante blogger, for eksempel Mind Hacks.
