If you're saying CS people need to read more humanities, I'm absolutely with you.

But I didn't say that science and technology are inherently ethical. I said that most people care about ethics. They might have different priorities or philosophy than you, but almost nobody commenting on a social issue is doing so because they want the immoral thing to happen. Right? So asking everyone to say "of course I care, of course" before everything they say is laborious.

I don't think immoral is the problem but rather amoral. In this case, that ethics was an afterthought.
