Your 'basic' premises are quite loaded, with an emphasis on personal freedom that's not actually inherent to either industry. Here's another (equally biased) framing:
Finance: increase abstract 'value' no matter the practical cost.
Defence: invent more efficient ways to cause harm.
- RhysU 4y agoAny industry permits an uncharitable reading: Medicine: Keep them alive long enough to take all their money. Search: Sell them things they don't need Self-driving cars: Delay societal investment in sustainable transportation Retail: Pointless fashion for the masses Agriculture: Make as many as fat as possible We should look at the best that any industry can provide and then strive for that instead of assuming evil is inherent.
