Right. That's true, you do.

What's your name?

Patrick.

Patrick, you're not doing anything wrong.
-
You're not violating the categorical imperative
-
when you use other people as means, that's not objectionable
-
provided when we deal with other people
-
for the sake of advancing our projects and purposes and interests,
-
which we all do,
-
provided we treat them in a way that is consistent with respect for their dignity
-
and what it means to respect them is given by the categorical imperative.
-
Are you persuaded?
