Abstract
An opportunity is a favorable circumstance for something to happen. This book’s aim is to provide a favorable circumstance for you to practice creativity, ethics, and responsibility — not only practice in the sense of pursuing mastery of these skills, but also practice in the sense of setting good habits for yourself. Having made your own sense of the ideas in the prior two chapters, it’s time for you, first, to step into the role of an “ethicist of possibilities” who anticipates ways to direct novel contributions toward making the most for the common good, and second, to assume your rightful place as a responsible contributor to our culture.
