Hi Terri, Thanks for this. Yes, the 'feel good instead of do good ethic' (a prime Wilsonian trait) applies to your field as well as to mine, and truly to all. I came across this idea when writing Ethical Realism as its just terrible for actually making the world a better place. As for Lawrence, he'd just hate what's going on in Sri Lanka, and would point out knowing about local specifics (culture, history, society) is everything.
Thank you for this! I love how you connect the dots, tying in Lawrence of Arabia which absolutely illustrates what is happening in Sri Lanka. This “feel good instead of do good” is a huge problem on so many levels in our world. I see examples of it daily in my life. Take care
