The Right Thing on Tuesday is my personal reflection space on strategic ethics, privacy, and fundamental rights in a European business context. The idea being that a decision which feels like the right thing on a Monday—ethically speaking— should still feel right on Tuesday. If you’re ever torn, most decisions, and especially the important ones, can wait a day. You can also try flipism if you’re impatient, which I find works particularly well when the dilemma is ethical.
Piet Hein says it better than anyone else in “A Psychological Tip”—find it among his Collected Grooks.
Writing • I experimented with fiction as a teenager, as did many others who would also not end up as writers. I wrote my first, “a twist in the tale”-style stories on my grandfather’s Erika typewriter (photographed tastefully for this page), and subsequent ones later in life with less memorable tools. For me, writing is a meditative exercise—not primarily exhibitionist.
Views • All views expressed here are my own, and any references to any real-life, non-public events have been obfuscated, garbled, or simply fictionalised to the degree that you won’t be able to tell where they come from, or if they are true in the first place. But however I manipulate the stories, I’ll do my best to preserve their lessons learned—you’ll just have to trust me on that.
Voice • I write this blog in my own voice, that is to say that I do not use generative AI to write it for me. Don’t be misled by my use of the em dash either—that’s all me.
Copyright • The logo for the blog is based on a stamp created by Aliz Borsa in the likeness of Mimi. Unless otherwise noted, I hold the copyright for all other content—images and text. Their reproduction without my permission would not be the right thing.
