I would settle for just a decent human being
- WalterBright 6mo agoWhat do you think of Musk's Neuralink company that has enabled quadriplegics to control things with their mind? What do you think of Musk's Tesla that has apparently saved 20,000 lives? Who meets your criteria?
- juleiie 6mo agoI don’t care about some imaginary balance of souls. Leave that to god if he exists. The ability to save someone doesn’t enable you to senselessly hurt many others. You should read Ursula K. Le Guin's: "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas A healthy person or society does not find enjoyment or entertainment in the torture of another. The act of senseless infliction of harm betrays a lack of empathy and moral spine, which is fundamentally incompatible with the role of a "savior" or truly moral agent. The good he does doesn't require the harm he causes, so the good cannot justify it.
