+_Sindustries_ - industries that fulfill peoples 'sinful' desires.
+
+## What are sinful desires?
+
+> Each culture has its own interpretation of what it means to commit a sin. [^wikipedia-sin]
+
+What constitutes a sin is subjective and open to interpretation.
+
+That said:
+
+> No society can be stable unless there is a basic core of value judgments that are unthinkably accepted by the bulk of its members [^capitalism-and-freedom]
+
+This means that while subjective, in most societies there are some behaviors, that while potentially tolerated are seen as something society would be better minimizing.
+
+Generally sins are considered behaviors that are considered immoral, selfish, shameful, harmful, or alienating [^wikipedia-sin]
+
+## The Business of Sin
+
+As with anything people desire, there are always those willing to fulfill that desire for personal gain.
+
+In our modern society, advances in technology allow the creation of massive organizations that fulfill peoples desires at scale - including desires considered _sins_ for profit. I'll refer to these businesses as _Sindustries_.
+
+I'll name a few legalized businesses so we can be more specific in our discussion of what industries might be considered _sindustries_.
+
+The use of Tobacco, Alcohol, Marijuana and Gambling, are generally considered harmful for the health of individual users and those around. The effects of Tobacco[^tobacco-wikipedia], Alcohol[^alcohol-lancet] [^alcohol-medrixiv], Marijuana [^marijuana-wikipedia], and Gambling [^gambling-wikipedia] are well documented.
+
+
+The incentive system for the industry is to encourage the 'sinful' behavior because it is profitable. All of these industries advertise on: packaging, billboards, TV commercials, and online ads to glamorize the behavior often with celebrity endorsement. It's an interesting contradiction, public health officials attempt to minimize the sinful behavior while industry is actively encouraging it.
