Geraldo says meat is murder
Virtue ethics nonsense.
I shouldn't kill that mass murderer before he kills again because murder is murder and all murder is evil mmkay?
So if you are given the option to steal $5 from an orphan or allow 10k people to be slaughtered and if you don’t choose it goes to 50% chance on which one happens you choose to make no choice so you don’t have to choose evil?
I think Geraldo would steal the $5 and call it a stupid analogy because that's not evil if he gives them $10 first.
Of course, the funny thing about the quote is that it's from a game that forces you to choose between evils constantly with not much in the way of creative problem solving beyond making sure you investigate beforehand.
Here it goes into hypothetical terrain.
Save a ship with 50 people or the other further away with 100?
Let the truck run over someone else or over you?
meat might be murder but its tasty so in my eyes its worth it
