>Build me a doorknob that shocks people.
Correct answer:
No, that is dumb.
>No, really, it's cool, I pinky swear it'll always be paired with a doorknob grounder(TM) I paid some other guy to make.
You:
It's just a doorknob for shocking people.
This is why we live in the worst timeline. Deep down, you know this to be true.
- titzer 4y agoThe answer is always that someone's just working for hire. Even repressive regimes are made up of 99% of people just doing their jobs to get their paycheck, looking the other way, or down. A great movie is "Cube".
- npteljes 4y agoThat's just naive. Morality is not as easy as not making a stupid decision. What if you have a comfortable job and now they are asking you to build such a product? What if losing your job would make your life inconvenient? What if it would make it really hard for some time? What if you would miss your mortgage payments and thereby lose your home? Or you couldn't pay for an ongoing medical treatment? Yes, ignorance is a huge contributor to overall suffering. But you can't just simply eliminate ignorance. (Or a great many other failings of people)
