There are always heartbreaking problems & conflicts in the world. Most of them are none of our business, and we're not positioned to do more good than harm. Only a few problems represent the highest and best use of our limited resources, and we should do those things. #ethics

How many kids would need to be gassed before it became unethical to leave Assad in power? Isolationism has consequences, irrelevant of who's "business" it is. I'm not sure what should be done, but I think that "more good than harm" statement needs to be qualified.

As long as there's a single person in the world that can be helped without harming anyone, we should prioritize that. Leave the ones that can't be helped without bloodshed for later.

I don't understand your concept of 'prioritizing'.
