Pathological.

this is why consequentialists scare me

Hey, a reasonable consequentialist wouldn't fall for these "ethics courses"/"consent courses"/"sensitivity training" failed horseshit

ok, but ask around and see how many of them even know what the cobra effect is

OK, dumb consequentialists are bad. I'm pretty sure dumb deontologists are equally (but differently) bad
-
they absolutely are. it's usually impossible to create adequate rules for situations with too many unknowns. it's also almost impossible to evaluate the effectiveness of your ethical rules in a reasonable timeframe. and yes, dumb virtue ethicists are also bad

The magical thing about dumb deontologists is that they usually aren't under the impression they need to evaluate the "effectiveness" of their rules. The point of digging isn't freedom from digging.pic.twitter.com/I55WzKereo
