- mdp2021 4y agoSince actions may imply tradeoffs, you cannot force an action also forcing the tradeoffs - which are to be evaluated subjectively, not by any third party. To decide that everyone is mandated to eat vegetables, the actor (decisor) should be a perfect, ideal one, knowing much more than we actually know.
