One of my clients here in Berkeley is a philosophy professor at UC Berkeley. He studies integrity. Hook line and sinker for masks and vax but to his credit was sympathetic to the vax death of our friend and was kind when I shared this with him back in 2021. And even didn’t boot me out when I told him I was unvaccinated. Now, did he have the courage and integrity to stand up to UC in the face of mandates for the students? nope. Any individual can exhibit personal integrity in a one on one meeting. It’s the power of the collective that becomes very destructive for individual freedom as evidenced here. That revealed itself during this period of time to me, and now, like I’m sure all of you, I completely understand how tragic human catastrophes have unfolded through history. Nothing new here besides the awareness that we all discovered.
Can we honestly call is 'personal integrity' if it applies only when we agree or it is convenient? Maybe that's why the modifier 'personal', as in our 'personal ' moral code. It seems to me integrity alone is fixed by immutable principles
Great point. It was a distinguishable difference, at least at the time, because so many people, including relatives and great friends, didn’t even extend this limited graciousness.
