get someone else to do

I think that is how they operate a lot of the time

but its THEM who need to open their minds

because they try to balance their karma

but I think they are somewhat mistaken

in some cases

in many cases perhaps they have a lot more open mind than most

can you really balance your karma?

perhaps not

What i mean is have less of a negative impact

come next time around

if there is such a thing

if you kill one person but save two people from dying

a lot of times it is immediate

still a murderer

if you kill hitler to save the jews

oh jeez here we go again

😆

if you kill push one person to the tracks to save 5 people from getting killed by the train

I'm not killing anyone.

If you kill a murderer, the number of murderers stays the same

and I wouldn't recommend you do it either

unless you kill like 100 murderers

@Seeker of Truth if you didnt do anything you could be held responsible for the deaths of the 5

Yikes. Easy on the subject boys

And girls

And people

i know some will say "why didnt you kill one person to save the 5?"

What if you kill in self defense

ok

@The Gwench

?

Lol

Consequentialism vs Utilitarianism

it is a touchy subject

like so many others

exactly

people should try not to kill others

perhaps even in self defense

but i believe that is no excuse not to deepen our understanding of ethics

I am not opposed to dying.
