Shapiro: Facts don’t care about your feelings , but i don’t feel so good...
Was Thanos right? Malthus: "yes, we sometimes need to cull the population to prevent disaster." Kant: "no, human lives cannot be treated as a means to an end." Schopenhauer: "well, he got us halfway there at least…"

The solution presented by Thanos ignores the fact that the problem isn't a lack of resources. Killing half the population will not suddenly create a fair distribution of food and wealth. Problems with social inequity cannot be solved by snapping your fingers.

interesting perspective from VOX: https://www.vox.com/summer-movies/2018/5/17/17343442/avengers-infinity-war-captain-america-thanos-sequel-moral-dilemma … Super Villains: Utilitarians Heroes: Kantians (except Batman, in BvS, starts out Utilitarian and converts to Kantianism)

The argument that killing half the universe is necessarily a large utility positive rests on thanos being a huge utility monster

Thanos' plan was a little daft if you ask me. He could've just as easily doubled the resources instead of halving the population. I guess he's a glass half empty kind of chap.
