Abstract: One of the best-supported assumptions in the philosophy of information literature is that ICTs need an ethics. The counterbalance theory claims that digital/internet technologies have been growing much more rapidly than our morals, so we have to resist absolutist inclinations to privilege naturalism over constructionism and seek some sort of balancing between unavoidable moral evil and more moral goodness. This paper will discuss the counterbalance theory and explain why ICTs don’t need an ethics: the gap between naturalism and constructivism has been bridged by the psychotic.
Keywords: binary oppositions, binarisation, dualism, ethics, infosphere, international crimes, philosophy of information, philosophy of mind, political philosophy, psychosis, state crime, terrorism, transnational crime.
