Thing is we know zero contact means no Virus. But what lives beyond that? Who knows what is right. The morals and ethics of this, confounded with our knowledge

Thing is we know zero contact means no Virus. But what lives beyond that? Who knows what is right. The morals and ethics of this, confounded with our knowledge and technology is profoundly complex. People are failing to grasp nuance here.

"complex" is just latin for "put together". What relevance does the complexity of life have for its value? > People are failing to grasp nuance here. I am comfortable with the lack of nuance inherent in trying to avoid death.
- bitexploder 6y agoThe floor is low. Absolute isolation is impossible. The nuance is that we lack so much knowledge to make a less restrictive choice. We basically are not advanced enough to act with clarity beyond broad moves. These are just pent up ramblings. Too much isolation. It’s the right thing. But with better knowledge and systems this would not be needed. We have the tech. Maybe we should not.

- alasdairking 6y agoIt's a very good plan. We would have lower pollution, fewer deaths, higher living density, lower carbon emissions. It is, however, very unusual and unpopular.
- 6nf 6y agoWhy is it so unpopular? It will save a lot of lives, isn't that worth it?
