The Consistent Machine
Choose five principles you actually hold. Rank them. Then rule on eight small dilemmas — a friend’s secret, a white lie, a red light — while a machine rules beside you, by strictly applying your five, in your order, every time. At the end, the ledger.
The ledger
A machine holding stated values can only be amoral or supermoral. The comfortable middle, where you have just been living, isn’t available to it.
