Philosophers Need a Hobby

Taking ethics training today. Came across this.

"The word ethics comes from the greek ETHIKA, meaning "custom" -- as in how we normally or should treat one another; the word morals comes from the latin MORES, meaning "custom" -- as in how we normally or should treat one another. For the past 2000 years, ethicists and philosophers have been trying to differentiate between the two and in fact many use them interchangeably."

What the Christ. It's the same fucking word!
