Simple solutions to complicated governance problems are a large part of how the problems got so complicated in the first place.

@drethelin@ClarkHat Well that's just creepy. -

@drethelin@St_Rev@ClarkHat Virtue ethics, utilitarianism, or deontology? As the last, my answer is: no. -
@St_Rev@ClarkHat So@drethelin asked "doesn't Scott have the responsibility to do X?" and I (tried) to say "depends on ethical framework" -
@MorlockP@ClarkHat@drethelin I honestly can't keep track of what those words are supposed to mean. -
@MorlockP@ClarkHat@drethelin Now I kind of want to talk about an actual ethical dilemma I have but it's incredibly sad so I won't. - 5 more replies

@St_Rev@drethelin@ClarkHat if you want to take the veil of ignorance, all that matters is that one person have power to make that change -
@gattsuru@drethelin@ClarkHat Yeah, I think veil of ignorance arguments are pernicious horseshit though. -
@gattsuru@drethelin@ClarkHat Specifically, I don't believe that it's possible for a hypothetical entity behind a veil to be morally human. -
@St_Rev@drethelin@ClarkHat Interesting: that's not a critique seen before. Because importance of context, or impossibility of distance? -
@gattsuru@drethelin@ClarkHat A human mind without a context is like a coin with only one side. -
@gattsuru@drethelin@ClarkHat Human mind able to apprehend thousands or trillions of human contexts in their fullness is similarly absurd. -
@gattsuru@drethelin@ClarkHat So Rawlsian veil of ignorance arguments have a swindle up-front: imagine yourself to be impossible.
