Doesn't NOT donating 10% of your salary to Alzheimer foundation diminish the liberty of others to live a long and happy life?
Is anyone willing to come up with a proper version of a trolley problem for this case?
- smrk007 6y agoGood point, I guess that’s a good argument to use taxes for supporting healthcare.
- maxerickson 6y agoWe don't have to consistently choose every intervention that benefits the group over some individuals, we can evaluate them one by one and pick and choose.
- aksss 6y agoEven in a democracy, it’s rarely “we”, but more often “they” - an unelected bureaucracy. The democratic choices are several layers (and years) removed from direct impact.
- dapf 6y agoIt's all about getting that 51%. This is why a democracy without a very strong republican and individual rights constraints is nothing but soft-core communism.
- AlexTWithBeard 6y agoYup. It's an ages old question of what happens if 11 boys of the class unanimously vote that all 10 girls should attend the lessons topless.
