	Modern [[technology]] has changed the consequences involved in many [[moral]] [[traditions]], resulting in [[cognitive dissonance]] when people are no longer able to see the harm in things that they were taught were mortal sins. The quintessential example is [[sex]] before [[marriage]], which was like playing [[wikipedia:Russian_roulette\|Russian Roulette]] before the birth control pill, penicillin, and legalized [[abortion]]. Those [[technologies]] have now made unwanted pregnancy and STDs largely irrelevant to those with adequate [[sex]] [[education]].

	<br>		There are a lot of specific ways to interpret consequentialism depending on whose consequences you prioritize and other variables. In general, the more [[universal]] and inclusive the [[in-group]], and the more universally applicable the rules, the better the consequentialist [[ethics]].{{#ev:youtube\|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDAL6IPdAcs\|\|center\|The Map of Consequentialism\|frame}}

You gain some points with the [[ethical]] insight, but then there's the carbon emissions caused by your computer and the YouTube servers, and the poor exploited people who had to mine the raw materials used in their circuit boards, and the toxic electronic waste they will one day become. You just can't win!
