don’t do work that is illegal, or that would be illegal if the public knew what you were really doing.
This rule only makes sense if you trust this “system for declaring profitable activities with negative externalities off limits” (ignoring that it pretends the law reflects the public’s will far more than it actually does, and problems with manufactured consent) more than your own moral judgment, self-serving as it may be. Perhaps you believe the law is mostly just, or that your own moral reasoning is horribly flawed (side note: either both of these are true, or neither). I don’t.
