> The irony of his mom being on the Board of Advisors of Stanford University’s Ethics is astounding.
Your sentence was cut off? She is a member of the Board of Advisors to the Stanford Ethics in Society Program. That means she helps direct an academic program researching ethics, not that she enforces ethical rules within Stanford.
Professional ethicists and moral philosophers do not, and generally do not claim to, act morally better than others. Their profession is about researching the consistency and implications of moral rules.
Judges are generally held to a higher standard than the general public, so I guess there is irony/hypocrisy when they commit a crime they have convicted others of. But that’s not what Fried was doing.
