Just another redditfugee. Maybe I’ll infodump a little more about me later… depends on how things develop here.

    Literal emergencies will fall into that category as well, but it is broader than just the stuff ER-people do for a living.

    These are things like:

    • being able to go from asleep to ready and out the door in under 5 minutes if the reason to do so is important enough.
    • remaining calm and levelheaded when everyone around is panicking over something.
    • deciding on a strategy and executing it flawlessly in response to any sudden change.
    • and yes, doing homework last minute and still getting acceptable grades for it also counts.

    Basically, if you get into a mental state of immediate urgency, your executive function runs on adrenaline alone. And suddenly you’re better than ever before at just. getting. stuff. done. - but not for very long.

    Social codes don’t have inherent value. They vary over time, places, culture, etc…

    Right and wrong are subjective. You can try to debate for moral absolutism, but I won’t respond.

    I was describing “doing what one thinks is expected to be the right choice as defined by code without incentives to do so other than the personal desire to uphold the code by making the choice it suggests”

    I think “Highly developed morals” in this context doesn’t mean being a “better” person by following a “superior” code of conduct.

    It means a higher chance to follow any established code out of principle - even to one’s own detriment - even with zero chance of getting caught cheating - even without getting to have bragging rights on upholding integrity. (But only if that code is properly understood first and deemed reasonable. Arbitrary BS-rules don’t have that effect) There was a study about it, I think, from Bazil?
