‘Be(e) nice’ is more succinct though.

    Do whatever the fuck you want… just don’t hurt people.

    Well said.

    That wall looks like it needs a drawing of a happy & colourful bee buzzing away peacefully.

    That’s a philosophy that sounds nice on the surface. It’s too bad that in order to know whether your actions (or inactions) will end up hurting any people you have to be omniscient.

    Butterfly effect and all that.

    And if you’re doing a dangerous job that requires risk taking you may have to take risks by hurting people (e.g. surgeon doing open heart surgery / novel surgery).

      Not even the butterfly effect. Neoclassical economics centered “the invisible hand” as the mechanism by which individual self-interest turns into collective prosperity.

      The idea that you can do whatever you want and not more generally affect people is nonsense. And since you can’t know whether that affect was good or bad, in contrast to every optimistic and coincidentally opportunistic tech-bro the world over, you should be far more cautious about what you do.
