What do you do that is so pure it doesn't have externalities?
- arcticbull 2y agoLet they who work on a product without externalities cast the first stone
- yamazakiwi 2y agoThe opposite, as it is a privilege to work somewhere without externalities.
- Ferret7446 2y agoThe privilege of ignorance? Because no such thing exists, unless of course you are ignorant of the externalities which is very likely. As they say, ignorance is bliss.
- bl0b 2y agoI read it as the privilege of being able to choose a lower paying job (that lets you sleep better at night, be more fulfilled, etc)
- yamazakiwi 2y agoIt's a privilege because the number of roles with no externalities are limited
- fwip 2y agoDegree matters. Working at a missile factory is worse than working for Amazon is worse than working for a public library.
- CamperBob2 2y agoAsk your friendly neighborhood Ukrainian refugees if they agree with that.

- underlipton 2y agoYou want me on that wall, you need me on that wall, etc. Nicholson was still the bad guy.
- notinmykernel 2y agoWell, if you are R&D, you may be working on a ~~missile~~ drone project for Amazon. So, one and the same.
- Nimitz14 2y agoYou are stating as fact what is in fact your (naive) opinion.
- fwip 2y agoThe fact is that the degree of harm matters. My opinion is that weapons of mass murder have made the world worse.
- cm2012 2y agoWorking at a missile factory could be one of the best/most important things you do with your life. Anti-air interceptor missiles save innocent lives every week in Ukraine, for instance.
- fwip 2y agoWhoops. Should have remembered not to offend the pro-war crowd here on HN.
- bigstrat2003 2y agoPeople working on functional programs, of course.
- cwalv 2y agoAcademia or journalism. Or maybe a lobbyist
