What externalities? Whose personal responsibility? What is a programmer from Microsoft personally responsible for?
- mdp2021 4y agoYou mention «the bad stuff»; an instance is the typical of the externalities: pollution. The polluter, "juridical person", is responsible for it. «Paying taxes» in general to allow "having somebody else fix it" is not a responsibility relief - it is not the payment of a specific service. The mentioned «programmer», "person matching individual", is responsible for his actions as well - though it is not clear how such mention of the «programmer» fits the context. If with the original post you wanted to stress that "things are not as clear-cut as it seems (and it's best to refine one's views instead of prematurely embracing position and emotion)": I would surely agree - that's what I also noted in my earlier post.
