@seanmcarroll For philosophers identifying "200 of 600 people die" with "400 of 600 survive" is as hard as quantum gravity for physicists. -
@seanmcarroll Is anyone surprised? -
@seanmcarroll You think the trolley problem and the disease/nuke scenarios constitute 'practical moral reasoning'?? -
@seanmcarroll But being an academic does. -
