And I’m being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don’t understand it. Can someone please “steelman” that argument for me?

    Which do you choose: genocide or WORSE genocide? You have to pick one. Not picking either gets you the latter by default. Make a choice.

        It’s a stupid question. But that’s the reality. So genocide or worse genocide? If you say neither, it’s probably going to be worse genocide.

          Some people really don’t grasp the concept of the trolley problem.

          A train is headed towards 5 people, you can pull a lever and switch tracks to kill 1 person. What do you do?

            People who think the trolley problem has a clear cut solution that we have to “get” are on the starting edge of the Dunning-Kruger curve.
