IMO morals are mere social constructs and are insanely dynamic. What kind of dilemma are you talking about? A good read overall.

Thanks! There are several issues on which you might refrain from having any moral opinion at all. The dilemma I aim to address is a more immediate one.

Say, you are offered a very lucrative position, but at a company that makes cigars. Do you take the job?

I do get your point, but don't people smoke by their own choice?

One may face a conundrum here. An individual might take the job and justify him/her self by claiming that people smoke on their own accord, which is fairly valid.

Another might tussle with their conscience and look for other avenues that don't involve being complicit in killing millions every year.

There's no objectively right/wrong answer to such moral dilemmas. Without a well deliberated and neutral model, a person may rely on pure intuition which can swing in any direction depending on their mood / bias.

As long as the model isn't set in stone, and is open to evolve with time, this makes a lot of sense. Can I shoot you a DM?
