> A majority of Americans believe that aliens have visited earth and that the government is hiding evidence of UFOs. By your logic I should conclude that all Americans are stupid, which wouldn't be that extreme, given the popularity of Donald Trump. I then could come up with a rhetoric that it's irresponsible to let americans go to vote. But all of that wouldn't be fair now, would it? What's your point? You have straw-manned my argument quite a bit, but let's ignore that for the moment ... If, say, electing Donald Trump for president were to lead to world-wide nuclear war, and people were to vote for him, how would it not be irresponsible to let americans vote on that if you had any chance to prevent it? Also, how does fairness get into this? How does the fairness of a decision-making process change anything about the consequences of any given decision and that it is irresponsible to not prevent harm that you easily could prevent. > In our times astrology is nothing more than a fun conversation piece. For one, that's not actually true. But more importantly: Why is the same not at least mostly true for christianity, islam, judaism, hinduism, ... ? > I do wonder what your definition for "good" and "bad" is. The short version: Good is what reduces harm, bad is what increases harm. Now, I wonder what your definition is if it doesn't agree with mine, at least roughly.
