The Ethics of Blending In

This article explains why blending in is not automatically ethical, and why the Grey Man Project treats invisibility as a situational tool rather than a moral principle.

Avoiding attention can conflict with the need to intervene, witness, or assist. Pure invisibility risks becoming disengagement, particularly when presence could reduce harm.

The Grey Man Project approaches ethics through judgment rather than rules, asking whether visibility will escalate or de escalate risk. In some situations, stepping forward is the quieter and safer choice.

What this article shows is that ethical preparedness depends not on consistency, but on discernment.
