I am not really sure how a scholarship could do otherwise, but arguably it's better to support 10 LGBTQ kids who aren't in a position to be able to get the cred

Ideally you'd do both, I'd hope, just because we haven't solved world hungry doesn't mean scientific research is a waste of time and money. Don't get me wrong, it's ridiculous that we haven't solved world hunger, but we can also both support people with a social safety net and also support education.
Still waiting on that social safety net though.
- dahart 5y ago> I am not really sure how to scholarship could do otherwise There are whole countries where higher education is provided to all interested residents, e.g., Finland, Norway, right? I’d agree we should do both -- I don’t actually see a distinction between solving hunger and supporting education, they’re two sides of the same coin.
- citizenpaul 5y ago> but arguably it's better to support 10 LGBTQ kids Why? You just engaged in elitism, by putting LGBTQ above everyone else.
- neltnerb 5y agoNo, I made a comparison between two options. And then I stated the paradox you are attempting to I assume explain to me? There's no need to pretend there's an argument.
