gosh this is such a bummer to read yeah any policy implemented at scale, no matter how well designed, is going to have some bad results some subset of such policies is worth implementing anyway because the net benefits in some sense outweigh the net costshttps://twitter.com/alexandraerin/status/1004400861865488384 …
rather the implication that supporting a policy leaves one responsible for all of its gross costs if i pull the lever and save five lives, ought I be condemned for the one who died? generalize "yes" and the only way to avoid culpability is to avoid power altogether

Given that the two levers are in actuality "kill 5 people" and "kill 5 people, but they're all black", I'm gonna go with "actually yeah, refuse to pull the lever, might be a good idea."

but often we have no way of knowing who's on what tracks, or how many, or even which is the right lever to pull abdicating altogether is just another lever becoming Good is hard and Right is right out
