@VesselOfSpirit Yes, I agree. Lesser of two evils still evil. -
@GrumplessGrinch "we're faced with a choice between two evils. let's pick the lesser one" "lesser of two evils still evil" -
@VesselOfSpirit Age is correlated with suffering but not absolutely. Focusing on age instead of suffering is a mistake. -
@GrumplessGrinch yes, there's room for criticism there, although my quick impression was he wasn't being that literal about chronology -
@VesselOfSpirit Also his opposition to euthanasia makes him an asshole. -
@GrumplessGrinch i like euthanasia a lot but few policy positions correlate 1-to-1 with whether the holder is an asshole -
@VesselOfSpirit He dismisses the suffering of depressed people and uses them to excuse barring euthanasia for those with no hope of recovery -
@GrumplessGrinch hmm, yes. i remember him doing that
