A campaign to stop drilling would need to answer questions about the likely effect, not just about the intention. Since OPEC has cut production many times in the past 50 years, and generally other producers have increased their production to fill the void, what do you think the likely effect would be?
- seydor 2y agoIt doesn't matter because in virtue-politics like the OP post, consequences don't really matter . That's e.g. how germany found itself stuck in a pipeline-shaped hole. It may be that norwegians are not as moral as they are portrayed often (e.g. https://branko2f7.substack.com/p/is-norway-the-new-east-india-company https://branko2f7.substack.com/p/is-norway-the-new-east-indi...). In any case, i used the Fund to make a hypothetical argument that doesn't need to match with reality.
- Arnt 2y agoOh, Norwegians are quite moral. I think you're making the mistake of considering intention-driven behaviour to be somehow moral and effect-driven behaviour not.
