A useful method to check if something is suitable or not is to catch the very first impression, the very first imprint from the consciousness when you come into contact with something. Then examine it honestly, before any biases or preconceived notions influence your conclusions.
What has already crossed our minds may be contaminated or masked either by our own thoughts or by the source of the content.
This method can help filter out junk and noise because almost immediately, any perception is absorbed through the sponge of consciousness and is colored the subtext.
However, that was primarily discussed in relation to aesthetics.
Ethics can be manipulated through aesthetics, so you might need additional filtering.
I refer to it as a “perspective filter.” When dealing with morals, laws, politics, or any other human-related issues, before forming an opinion, you usually make a basic examination of how it might unfold in the long run. Then, true “good” or “bad” may come to your internal eye.
