Aren't we all subject to death though ?
- pretendscholar 3y agoPreferably not all at the same time
- wavesway 3y agoIt doesn’t have to be tragic…
- jonathanlb 3y agoIf it's in your power to prevent people from dying tragically in a burning building- you wouldn't?
- jkeisling 3y agoBasic economics: The optimal number of people who die tragically in a burning building is not zero. Every person trades off some amount of safety for cost, that’s just part of living. It’s possible that this particular tradeoff isn’t worth it, but human life isn’t infinitely sacred. I assume if it were in your power, you also would rather let some people burn to death than ban wooden houses, for example. This, well, inflammatory emotive rhetoric really doesn’t lead to good discussion, or good policy for that matter.
