alien_blueprint's Journal: Your evil is my good ...

"Your evil is my good. I am Sutekh the destroyer. Where I tread, I leave nothing but dust and darkness. I find that good."

Yes, I watched the Doctor Who serial, Pyramids of Mars on DVD on the weekend.

Today, my new employer subjected all staff to 3 hours (mercifully cut from 4) of "ethics training" today. I certainly didn't pick my starting date very well. Anyway, this quote came to mind in the midst of it all.

Which leads to the obvious question - how much ethics training would Sutekh the Destroyer, Unicron the Chaos-bringer, Cthulu or any other all-powerful personification of pure evil require exactly? And considering that "all life is my enemy" and all that, aren't they already perfectly ethical within their own frame of reference? Being, you know, all powerful personifications of pure evil.

These are the kinds of important questions you ponder during a mind-numbing video-lecture with the only actual content being "do the right thing". In order, as Douglas Adams might put it, to avoid gnawing off your own right arm to relieve the boredom.

Anyway, full report on the new job and the outcome of the IP agreement negotiations later - it turns out apart from the above incident I'm quite happy so far.
