"First, their works are full of bad arguments, confused concepts, falsehoods, implausible claims, and lack of clarity."
Sir, I would contend that this in fact represents the essence of philosophy. Indeed, I would argue the more unclear, confused and implausible, the more philosophical.

JG Ballard, The Atrocity Exhibition (1970)
In 2029, Juan Orlando Hernández must be given the choice of returning to prison or being blown up on live television. A bonus is that one of those options will get 80% public approval and one will get 90% approval, and I don't know which is which.

Exactly. The operator isn't getting an order to "kill these drowning men," they're being told "strike grid coordinates XYZ"
The people who *know* need to be held accountable, and that's pretty senior.

Someone made the point - I think Adam Kinzinger - that the problem is it’s one thing to refuse to murder someone if ordered. It’s another to refuse an order where you yourself don’t have the full context and couldn’t possibly - but someone above you does/did

This arrived in the mail today. There was no return address, but it's kind of pretty. I think it might be a puzzle. Should I try to solve it?

That's all right, Nuclear Winter. You're not interrupting anything important. What can I do for you? Are you looking for some specific place in Seyda Neen? Or just looking for a little advice?

Starve millions to steal billions.
For me argentina is the easiest one because there's 40 million people on SNAP and we're giving milei 40 billion. "The president could give every hungry family a thousand dollars right now but he's giving it to argentina instead for no reason at all. He hates america"
“They’ve got money for ICE and golden ballrooms but not for hungry families” is so easy it’s almost funny
