A baker ≠ a rich CEO.
The baker works for a living, if nothing else.
The Baker provides a service for a fee, the CEO denies service to inflate wealth (at least the ones that should be worrying).
I dunno, I think the baker might already give you their bread if you threaten them with death
The premise is that you want to kill the baker, not that you want their bread.
If I want to kill someone, I do not care about whatever consequences or effects it will have. That fucker is as good as dead.
Then there is no problem. I get what I want, people who need bread get what they want. Everyone wins!*
^*Well, not the baker.^
But you haven’t maximized evil as was required. Are you even paying attention in class, Kolanaki?
This being an old comic and people instantly forming the (seemingly) obvious connection to recent events seems like a good illustration of the concept of the dead author.
That’s kind of how ethical thought experiments already work.
This feels like a slightly odd take for SMBC given the assumed subtext
It’s an old comic I’ve found through the random feature. Felt like it would elicit some good discussion.
good discussion about what ?
