Dialog, to me looks like how we achieve collective education.

An individual, or even a tribe, in isolation does not know enough to be "right" about much at all, so to me it sounds like a very dangerous thing to be advocating violence and self sacrifice to defend one’s own, or one’s tribe’s ideas about what is right and wrong.

Sounds like the philosophy of pretty much every individual or group fanatic known for carrying out mass atrocity in history to me.

Religion, I believe did have a purpose, not always the best, but was something known to be needed by observers of early humanity, to avoid destructive chaos harming the majority who were and are open to learning.

Corporate ethics just looks like a later form of religion, like all the others by itself is imperfect, but should form part of our perception of what is good and bad, surely.

To me the error the collective has made, the majority of people at least in the West, is the negative effect of seeking profit.

That, requiring division between all people is absolutely not in the interests of our species, completely destroying all things good in the end, we seem to be still mostly failing to see it.

The latest example of vaccines for profit has to be an eye opener for most people, and absolutely needs to be argued out by dialog.
