This is the voice of utilitarianism. Life is tragedy and drama. It’s right that we don’t care about a boat capsizing. This was a simple death, with little immediate drama or tragedy. Everyone suffers, what’s interesting is how you suffer.https://twitter.com/brianklaas/status/1016272807511150597 …

One of the jarring things about the Thai cave story: 41 people died when a boat capsized in Thailand on Thursday evening and nobody really cared. It’s a pretty clear illustration of how we latch onto stories that are gripping while ignoring worse human suffering that lacks drama.
